Front helps connect the millions of unemployed workers to companies that are hiring, right now. The process takes place via SMS for Slack & eliminates the current job applications barriers on LinkedIn, email and automated systems. Just text and work today.
Our goal is simple: we want to help connect some of the 16 million displaced Americans to companies that will not only employ them but also ensure their health is a top priority.
For workers:
- That's why we vet every company that we add to our database and feel confident referring front-line workers to them. We're primarily looking for warehouse workers, delivery drivers, healthcare workers etc.
- We think the current online application process is broken and want to add a human element to the job hunting process - that's why we firmly believe in SMS / texting as the most viable option.
For companies:
- If you use Clerk, just install our SMS bot: https://clerk.chat
- Bring your own phone number or we provision you one automatically
- Let us know what top 3 openings you have
- Let candidates immediately start applying all through SMS
- Enable your entire recruitment/ HR departments to start responding through Slack

@iboshoer this is brilliant - I'd love to understand the growth strategy here, as well as if you currently integrate with other ATS platforms, or seek to replace them outright? (sched.seymourgroup.co if you wish to chat at any point :) )
@seymourgroup thank you. Would love to. Lets setup a time to talk. I'll put something on the calendar.

I'm loving all the 'tech for good' ideas on PH lately to help with the COVID-19 crisis. How do you guys vet these companies to make sure they are really taking care of worker safety?
Wow! I just tried texting the main number 415-969-9767 and got immediately added to the list. I filled out a few questions about myself and started getting notifications about available positions in my area and their appropriate SMS to apply for work!
Man.... This is amazing for humanity right now. Great to see people busy working on ways to help others get jobs again. Too bad other countries don't do this as well.
@clintonskakun thanks! Yeah it's great to see so much innovation happening. Thanks PH for bringing the community together.

I actually used wrk.today to help a friend find a job. He registered for the job notifications and within a week was already interviewing with relevant companies.
I've used this in my own company - I love the Slack integration that helps me manage all my SMS conversations. I can have my entire department responding to messages and routing folks to the appropriate applications processes. It helps us get people to interview and hired in lightning speed.
