JobGet, the fastest-growing app-first hiring platform connecting over 70 million Everyday Workers with the nation’s most recognized brands, recently announced the acquisition of Wirkn, a leading platform in the frontline recruitment market. This strategic move to partner with shopping centres and malls allows JobGet to offer a tailored frontline solution to even more employers and job seekers.
The acquisition will enable JobGet to provide Wirkn’s extensive network of over 17,000 mall, retail, and restaurant locations with a broader reach of applicants. Unlike traditional job boards, JobGet’s app-first approach provides deeper job-seeker insights and leverages AI to match skills to jobs that job seekers might need help finding. This results in a broader reach and higher responsiveness from applicants, leading to lower cost-per-applicant and improved hiring outcomes. JobGet’s understanding of the nuances of the everyday talent market further enhances these benefits, ensuring stakeholders the efficiency and effectiveness of the new system.
Commenting on the acquisition, Tony Liu, CEO of JobGet, said:
We are thrilled to bring Wirkn into the JobGet network. Our commitment to the Everyday Workforce and our focus on innovation and inclusivity make this a strong pairing. Wirkn’s manager-friendly ATS will empower more brands to create a dedicated hiring channel for their field workforce. We will enable more employers and job seekers to connect and thrive together.
JobGet, established in 2019 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is perfectly positioned to support employers in sectors that generally include hourly or non-exempt employment by providing a more focused approach.
