About WurkNow Inc.

WurkNow Inc., founded in 2018 by CEO Sammy Singh and CTO TJ Sehmi, operates as a developer of a digital workforce and staffing management platform. Singh, an immigrant from Brunei with a background in accounting and over 25 years in the staffing and technology sectors, leveraged his extensive industry experience to address the inefficiencies he observed. His journey from a retail worker to a seasoned professional in the staffing world provided him with firsthand insights into the market's challenges, which directly shaped the company's mission.

The company targets staffing and recruiting firms, as well as employers with large hourly workforces, particularly in the light industrial, healthcare, commercial facilities, and 3PL & warehousing sectors. WurkNow's business model is centered on providing a single, integrated, mobile-centric platform that combines recruiting, onboarding, timekeeping, payroll, billing, and compliance management. This eliminates the need for businesses to use multiple, disparate systems for their workforce management needs. Revenue is generated through flexible pricing models for its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.

The core offering is a comprehensive digital ecosystem designed to streamline the entire employment process for temporary staff. Key features include AI-powered candidate sourcing and job matching, a voice AI recruiter to vet candidates, automated timecard management, and seamless integration capabilities with third-party systems like applicant tracking systems (ATS) and payroll services. For the hourly worker, WurkNow provides a mobile app to find job opportunities, accept offers, and manage their employment information. A notable aspect of the platform is its use of blockchain technology to create immutable records for audit trails, enhancing compliance and transparency in areas like timekeeping and payroll. The platform has demonstrated significant market traction, serving over 150 staffing agencies and deploying more than 350,000 workers. In September 2021, the company secured a $10 million Series A funding round to fuel product development and market expansion.
