On-demand marketplace for temporary staffing
About Coople
In 2009, Swiss entrepreneur Viktor Calabrò founded Coople, originally known as Staff Finder, with a vision to transform the staffing industry through technology. The company was established to address the inefficiencies in traditional recruitment processes by creating a platform that connects businesses with temporary workers on demand.
Coople's innovative approach allowed companies to quickly find and hire temporary staff, while providing workers with the flexibility to choose when and where they wanted to work. This model not only streamlined the hiring process but also empowered workers, making Coople a pioneer in the gig economy.
In 2017, the company rebranded from Staff Finder to Coople, reflecting its growth and evolution in the digital staffing space. The rebranding marked a significant milestone as Coople expanded its operations beyond Switzerland, establishing a strong presence in the UK and other European markets.
Coople's journey was marked by a major funding round in 2019, when the company raised $32 million to further automate its platform and expand internationally. This infusion of capital enabled Coople to enhance its technology and scale its operations, solidifying its position as Europe's largest digital staffing platform.
Today, Coople continues to lead the way in flexible staffing solutions, leveraging technology to meet the dynamic needs of businesses and workers alike. Viktor Calabrò's vision and leadership have been instrumental in Coople's success, making it a key player in the evolving landscape of work.
