We’re looking for a Head of Product to join our growing team and help us digitalize the
ancient blue-collar recruitment industry! We are building a global home for blue-collar
migrants and connecting them with jobs that pay 10x more than what they earn at home, all
while automating the relocation.
About Werk:
Werk is a VC backed Startup from Estonia, building a product that completely turns the
international blue collar recruitment market on its head. We are building software to
disrupt the grey economy around international hiring by making it legal, clean and
transparent.
Werk is the only one who is focusing on the cross-border aspect of blue-collar movement,
which is only increasing. Up to 40% of workers on European construction sites are migrant
and the only ones serving our market today are no-tech middlemen offices.
Be part of a startup journey from pre-product to taking on the world with the product you
created. Have a direct say in the direction of our business and make an impact on the lives
of the millions of people building our homes and offices.
Come up with new products ranging from Fintech, Communities, Marketplace etc. Anything is
possible as we reinvent the international blue collar recruitment market and you'll be at
the center of it all!
