The global pandemic has inevitably reshaped the hiring process. Companies are increasingly shifting toward virtual hiring as a necessity to mitigate risks. “We’ve built a platform that allows for completely ‘contactless hiring’, which has been pivotal in helping our clients meet manpower needs without putting themselves and their families at risk,” said Max Wang, CTO.
“Workstream is already helping customers in sectors like healthcare and logistics facilitate recent surges in hiring. Workstream’s technology will make it much faster and easier for industries like food service and hospitality to aggressively ramp up hiring of hourly workers as the economy reopens in the coming months,” said Keith Rabois, of Founders Fund.
