Overview
Wonolo is a digital marketplace that connects businesses needing temporary workers with individuals seeking short-term, flexible jobs. It operates across many U.S. cities, enabling companies to post job listings and workers to find suitable assignments. The platform streamlines staffing by listing clear job expectations and tracking candidates through the hiring process, making it faster to fill temporary roles. Wonolo earns revenue by charging businesses a fee (a percentage of the worker’s wage) for each successful placement. Unlike firms that only supply staff or focus on one industry, Wonolo serves a wide range of clients—from small businesses to large corporations—across multiple industries, providing a scalable, on-demand staffing solution with a clear marketplace model and performance-based fees.
