It was only a matter of time before an online staffing platform entered the gig economy space, connecting available workers with companies in different industries that need jobs filled. Enter the Wonolo app.
Founded in 2014, there are currently more than 1 million workers across the US on the Wonolo app looking to find jobs that enable them to gain experience, up-level their job skills, work in different industries, and more!
What is Wonolo app?
Wonolo app is a streamlined version of the old temporary service staffing industry. A new on-demand staffing platform that helps connect independent contractors with jobs across the country, or in their own neighborhoods.

With flexible daily and hourly shifts to choose from and career building opportunities relevant to the jobs of today, Wonolo is the marketplace for the future of work.
Transparency is a must in today’s gig economy. Unlike temp agencies that require appointments, interviews, and applications often to be completed in a brick and mortar location, Wonolo’s mobile app makes it easy for workers to find jobs, get paid, and keep their independence.
Workers have the flexibility within the Wonolo app to accept jobs wherever and whenever they want to work.
