About Werkadoo

We connect professionals to work by leveraging our matching technology.

The workforce is changing and businesses are now embracing a multitude of ways to use professional talent. In addition, professionals are now embracing the ability to work flexibly in pursuit for a full-time paycheck - and, sometimes this can mean working for many companies simultaneously. Regardless, these dynamics have changed the way we find and hire. Werkadoo's vision is to be the place where you can do both with confidence.

 

Having seen first hand that there is a of lot weight that carries based on personality, work styles and preferences when placing a professional on a task, project, or even position, we wanted to build a product that businesses could use that decreases the risk in hiring. Two-fold, professionals reap the benefits of being placed on the right work, which eventually circles its way back to the betterment of both the company and the professional.

 

Did you know that research has been conducted, and proves, that when considering professional dimensions during the hiring process it increases the success of the project, and position!

 

We make products that make it easier to find, hire, and work together.

Our products are built for businesses looking for, and hiring, project professionals, temporary staff professionals, or even freelance and flexible-hire professionals. In addition, they are built for professionals within the contingent workforce looking for flexible work in projects, or short-term assignments. Our product is used by small businesses looking for someone to do a project, but in other cases a large corporation, or staffing agency, needing to build an entire project team of independent contractors for a 6-month, full-time project. Regardless of the size of the project, or position, we make a higher-quality connection between the work and professionals - it's that simple.

 

 

 

We believe

 

There is person behind every resume. The soft traits are just as, if not more, important in what a professional has to offer. When considering these, you'll have a better hire, a happier professional, and thus better results.

 

Our product isn't just ours - it's yours. We always built our product with our customers and will always do so.

 

Quality should always be the first thing presented, not quantity. We believe professionals should first be presented as to the quality they represent and provide. If an hourly rate, or number, is important it all comes out in the end but it shouldn't be the only consideration.

 

Transperency is necessary. Being able to talk to professionals over chat, text messaging, phone, or even face-to-face will NEVER be prevented on Werkadoo. We care about a success business relationship.
