The platform allows people or companies to be contacted with those looking to do temp work or act as a replacement.

When you are unemployed, that sporadic employment - or better known as "pituto" - can be very helpful when it comes to having some income during periods of unemployment. Now there is a platform that promises to help you find work quickly.

GoworQ, a technological platform with Artificial Intelligence applied to recruitment in order to allow hiring and working in real time, connects those who are seeking work with someone who needs work done.

“It is a talent app that allows you to automatically connect with companies that need to recruit, immediately to a candidate, either for a defined or replacement time, something like Tinder,” explains Mauricio Ortíz, creator and who took the project as something very personal after living the experience of having little work but being eager to produce.

He adds that in this way “a unemployed person can search for pitutito or whoever needs work done, and can do so through the search for offers of services or jobs through the app.”

How does it work? Those interested, future employees and workers have two ways of doing it. For those looking to offer an occupation, they must download the application "GoworQ Hire", where you can register as a natural person or as a company. Meanwhile, for those looking for work, they must download "GoworQ Work", an app in which they can mark up to three trades or skills and will immediately be available to an employer.

“GoworQ gets the request and geolocates who covers the need. In a time that goes between 27 and 42 minutes, a person can have a new job and an employer solves their lack of staff. Subsequently, both can be qualified, and everything is registered in the application,” says its founder.

SECURITY INCLUDED

As a way to protect the worker and the employer, GoworQ has an agreement with the insurer Chubb, so that “from the moment the mach is done, the worker is insured from his journey until when I arrived at the place and the contractor. It is also insured in the event that something happens to the worker. Both are protected,” says Ortíz.

On the other hand, within the areas that need personnel with immediacy such as gastronomy, lodging, and minor commerce, it helps since there is greater labor absenteeism. Meanwhile, the search for people who work as a room vendor, packers, winemakers, promoters, among others, has also been strong.
