Israeli startup Ubeya raises $3.5 million to aid workforce management in the gig economy
Summary
The Ubeya software is designed for companies that rely on hourly staff at the core of their operation, but the platform serves job seekers and staffing agencies, too. Businesses can source, schedule, manage and pay gig workers; companies can use Ubeya to monitor and reward staff, as well. “Ubeya connects the dots for an ecosystem which is full of challenges such as seasonality, high turnover or lack of information about staff skills,” explained Omri Dekalo, CEO. “It is amazing to see our clients smoothly running the entire staffing operation on our platform, but what makes us most excited is helping thousands of people find great work opportunities.” Launched in Tel Aviv in 2017, the software is now used by hundreds of businesses across the US and Europe. Ubeya’s platform is built for the future of work – enabling gig employers the opportunity to recruit, manage, and scale their businesses while offering employees an unmatched experience managing engagements and building their careers.” Heidi Spirgi of Cornerstone said: “Gig workers are increasingly important to every business and Ubeya has built an innovative and simple platform to manage, communicate with, and ultimately engage this growing part of the labor market.”
