As explained by the firm, YouWrk is recruitment that “works for everyone, blending the best of digital and human,” with Stripe-enabled tech and hands on account management. More than 270 clients have “posted jobs to 57k+ registered users.”
Key highlights:
- 1.9k+ job posted by 270+ clients
- Clients include Ram distribution, Heck, Paul Bakery, Hyatt, Claridge’s and Zapp
- 57k+ registered users on database + integrated with Stripe
As noted by the firm, they believe the recruitment world is “ripe for redesign & ready for a big old shake up.”
They added:
“Our smart digital processes blended with human account management is what we think sets YouWrk apart as a seamless staffing solution. We’ve waved goodbye to both traditional recruitment services (that can be costly & slow) & digital only jobs boards (that lack support, screening & personalised service). Instead, we’ve developed an integrated, flexible model.”
They also mentioned:
“Our platform uses sophisticated automation with Stripe integrated for fast ID verification, which is underpinned by our managed service including candidate vetting, application screening & arranging interviews.”
They added that there were 1.3m UK job vacancies “between March ‘22-May ‘22 – the highest number ever recorded.”
All businesses “need good people, but requirements fluctuate & many roles can be challenging to fill.” The firm pointed out that their revenue model “works on a simple upfront fee, with transparent packages to suit these differing business needs.”
This approach has reportedly seen them “post 1.9k+ vacancies from 270+ clients, with a registered user database of 57k.”
They continued:
“We’re raising to deliver targeted marketing & enhance our tech inc. developing an app, creating a two-sided marketplace. For workers seeking relevant, accessible jobs that are fuss-free to apply for, & to businesses looking for a better way to recruit, we believe the solution is YouWrk – & we are ready to deliver.”
