SaaS Scaled - Interviews about SaaS Startups, Analytics, & Operations
In this episode of SaaS Scaled, we're talking to Matthew Himelstein, VP of Product at Wonolo. Wonolo is a platform designed to connect blue-collar workers with gigs. It has experienced several years of impressive growth. Matthew talks about his experience with Wonolo and shares some advice for founders who want to start a new SaaS company. We discuss the importance of using tools such as automation to save time and improve efficiency. We chat about the importance of data for today's companies, the benefits it brings, and the challenges involved.

It's become fashionable to say that the “American Dream” is dead. Many people feel that the best days are behind us. The pandemic created extraordinary wealth concentrated in a small group of powerful people, while average Americans feel left behind. The humiliating pullout from Afghanistan, supply-chain disruptions and the surge in inflation causing increased costs of everyday items (such as food and gas at the pumps) erodes our confidence. Sometimes, we need a reminder that despite setbacks, there is hope. The American Dream of immigrating to the United States and creating a better life for your family is still alive and well. Yong Kim was born in South Korea. At an early age, he became infatuated with the U.S. and desperately wanted to emigrate. He begged his parents for years to relocate. As a young adult, Kim boldly left his family and came to America. With broken English, he tried—mostly unsuccessfully—to find a job. “This was before the days of the internet. Living alone in a foreign country, not knowing anyone and not speaking English, was extremely difficult,” Kim said. Over time, he found his way. He attended the University of Chicago and received a masters and M.B.A. from Harvard. Kim went on to found Wonolo, an on-demand staffing marketplace for blue-collar workers. The platform connects businesses that have critical temporary staffing needs with workers looking for a gig. Kim conceived of the app based, in part, on his own experiences working at Coke. He noticed that it was hard to quickly find workers and thought that there has to be a better way to both benefit folks looking for part-time work and employers who desperately need to staff up. With over $200 million in venture capital funding, Kim says that Wonolo has over 1 million people on the platform, predominantly retail, factory, warehouse, fulfillment, hospitality and related types of workers. There are thousands of businesses that seek Wonolo's help.

In today's episode of The RecruitingDaily Podcast, we welcome Monica Plaza to talk about her perspective on what the labor shortage is teaching us.Monica serves as vice president of strategy at Wonolo. There she helps the organization with "big picture" thinking in terms of operations, operational rhythm and future areas of opportunity and investments.

Yong Kim, the founder of Wonolo (stands for “Work Now Locally”), set out to create a platform to bring power back to today’s workers. After closing a Series C funding round of $32 million in November 2018, his company is set to lead the wave, empowering freelance and project workers. Yong joined the podcast to share his inspiration for Wonolo, his predictions for the future of the employment economy and how to find the intersection of technology, business and human nature.
For better or worse, we are addicted to growth. Our financial system that is heavily based on rising debt, virtually requires perpetual growth. When businesses shrink, bad things happen. Not only do people lose their jobs, businesses face problems meeting their debt obligations. If they shrink too much, then really bad things happen. When governments create conditions that are intended to help workers, they sometimes have unintended consequences. I’ve had the experience of managing employees and contractors in France which is one of the most difficult labour markets that I’m aware of. Every enterprise over 50 employees must have a union by law. On of the consequences of an overly regulated labour environment is that it’s very difficult for workers to find a job, because the liability associated with hiring someone often outweighs the benefits. Employers are very reluctant to hire in that environment. What was supposed to help workers, in fact has the unintended opposite effect. The State of California took the unprecedented step of requiring companies that hire contract workers to convert them into employees if they work for more than a specified period of time. AB-5, which went into effect Jan. 1, requires companies to reclassify a wide category of California contract workers as employees. A relatively new California company called Wonolo specializes in connecting workers and businesses. So far they have over 300,000 people working on their platform. Last month Wonolo secured an additional $35M investment from Bain Capital. At the same time, a couple of weeks ago, the company also announced that as of March 1, they would no longer allow businesses based in California to use their platform. This decision will affect tens of thousands of workers who currently use the Wonolo platform in California. The gig economy has all kinds of contract workers spanning everything from Uber, to drivers for Fedex and UPS. Their customers include all kinds of businesses from Coca-Cola, to Six Flags to Papa-Johns Pizza. Th company took the decision in order to protect businesses from any unnecessary risks associated with the new legislation. Wonolo doesn’t have the time or the resources to police compliance with the new AB-5 regulations. So what does temporary contract work have to do with a healthy thriving economy? So what does this have to do with real estate? One thing that drives demand for real estate is jobs! Jobs, jobs, jobs. If employment is falling, if it’s too hard to do business in a particular area, then jobs are one of the first casualties. After that then comes real estate as the second casualty. California legislators may finally get their wish, more affordable real estate. What that means is that prices will fall as more and more people exit the state. The problem is, the ones who are leaving California are precisely the ones that the state really needs to keep. The one’s who stay will be the least mobile lowest earning members of the population. Those who don’t pay taxes don’t really care that California’s taxes are high. It doesn’t affect them. The folks at Zillow have a nationwide view of real estate. In their latest survey of real estate sentiment, they are predicting that the San Francisco Bay Area will be the worst performing of all real estate markets in the nation. Of the survey’s markets most likely to underperform in 2020, six are in California and include Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego and Riverside. The lyrics in the song Hotel California by the Eagles say “You can check out any time you like, but you can’t ever leave”. I suspect that California legislators have been listening to that song for far too long, because it’s actually not true.

Fast. Flexible. Staffing Reinvented. Wonolo, which stands for “Work Now Locally,” is an on-demand staffing platform that is changing the way businesses find talent for their immediate labor needs. The company is on a mission to create flexible opportunities for individuals to make extra income, learn new skills, and change their lives. At the same time, they are saving companies money by connecting them with talented people within minutes. However, when I looked a little closer I discovered the intriguing story behind Wonolo which began working inside the Coca-Cola Company. They were motivated by wanting to solve one pervasive problem. How do they ensure cans are always on the store shelf? When a warehouse worker calls out sick, a driver is caught in traffic, or a merchandiser can’t work overtime, how can we find the talent to get the product on the shelf? Meanwhile, they observed a growing segment of frontline workers, often part-time or unemployed, struggling to find additional work around their busy schedules. Some already had the right skillsets to get that product on the shelf, others had the capability to quickly learn. The convergence of these two insights began our journey to not only create a smarter way to match supply and demand but to redefine the pool of talent available to get work done. Today, Wonolo helps connect thousands of businesses with tens of thousands of Wonoloers. What started with getting Sprite on the shelf evolved into giving anyone the opportunity to Work Now Locally - making Wonoloing the future of work for frontline jobs. On this show, I like to bust a few myths, and today we explore how baby boomers are leveraging hiring apps to find blue-collar work. Wonolo recently released a blog post highlighting its internal data from all completed gigs on the platform last year. Beatrice Pang, the VP of strategy and finance at Wonolo, joins me on my daily tech podcast to share more insights on the data and how a hiring app like Wonolo helps Boomers find flexible work in retirement. We also talk about: The average number of gigs Baby Boomers work per week Top job categories Boomers tend to pick Average job ratings by employers compared to younger generations A breakdown of Boomers’ earnings across Wonolo’s largest markets
more funding for Smartians, a new acquisition for Indeed and a CareerBuilder rumor in the news. Special thanks to our sponsor Hiretual.com Recruit Holdings Co., parent company of Indeed.com has announced that its HR Technology SBU (Strategic Business Unit) has signed an agreement to acquire Syft Online Limited (“Syft”) through Indeed Ireland Operations Limited. Syft is a leading recruiting platform for the hospitality, events and industrial industries in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2015, Syft’s proprietary technology provides a simple, effective recruitment solution and shift management tool for part-time and flexible work, connecting and matching qualified and vetted jobseekers with available shifts through its desktop and mobile app. Chris Hyams, CEO at Indeed, commented: “At Indeed our mission is to help people get jobs.

We're Only Human 5 - HR and the Gig Economy Host: Ben Eubanks Guest: AJ Brustein, Co-Founder, COO, Wonolo The idea of gigs isn't anything new, but the concept of using gig workers as an alternative source of talent certainly is. More companies are starting to realize that getting a job done doesn't always have to mean creating a requisition, posting a job, interviewing candidates, and making an offer. In the case of some new applications on the market, companies can bring talent to their front door at the veritable push of a button. Yes, really. In episode 5 of We're Only Human, host Ben Eubanks interviews AJ Brustein, Co-founder and COO of Wonolo, an on-demand hiring application. Ben and AJ discuss Wonolo's beginnings as a startup within Coca Cola to solve a specific talent challenge and how it spun off into its own brand. In addition, they talk about how companies can make use of gigs to not only meet company objectives, but to help meet the needs of workers as well. It's a fascinating conversation and one that will challenge your assumptions about the on demand workers you meet on a daily basis.
