WorkWhile, an AI-powered labour platform connecting businesses with hourly workers, has launched WorkWhile Coach, an AI talent agent that assesses worker skills and matches them with job opportunities across multiple companies. The system conducts conversations with workers to identify their experience and capabilities, including skills they may not have considered. Unlike traditional hiring software that filters applicants, Coach aims to uncover workers' abilities and connect them to roles where those skills are valued. The first application will be WorkWhile's Certified Professional Programme for hospitality workers, which evaluates knowledge through interactive assessments rather than relying solely on CVs. Final hiring decisions remain with human managers. WorkWhile reported 110% revenue growth over the past nine months and currently provides staffing for stadiums, convention centres and universities across the United States.

WorkWhile, an AI-powered labour platform, has launched the WorkWhile Certified Professional Programme to verify hospitality workers' practical skills before deployment. The credentialing system uses WorkWhile Coach, an AI talent agent that conducts structured assessments covering food safety protocols and job-specific tasks. The programme addresses hospitality operators' challenges with inconsistent temporary staffing, where industry estimates place the cost of recruiting and training a single employee at roughly $2,700. Certification is integrated into WorkWhile's platform at no additional cost to employers. The programme currently covers five roles: server, line cook, prep cook, bartender and dishwasher. Certified professionals are already working at stadiums, convention centres and university dining halls across the United States. WorkWhile provides the certification through AI-conducted conversations that assess real-world knowledge and capabilities.
