WorkHere is the first chat-powered, hyperlocal candidate delivery platform. We target local talent using mobile, social, and job media advertising.
Candidates who respond are routed within seconds to a chat conversation with a trained, professional WorkHere agent. After a chat conversation confirms interest, vets basic qualifications, and answers the job seeker’s questions, the qualified candidate is referred to the employer’s recruitment team.
