Episode #014 – Marlon Litz-Rosenzweig - Back in 2012, Marlon founded MyLittleJob. the idea to connect European students to companies because he and his co-founder Daniel Barke, both realised that it was a struggle to secure a summer job while they were working at school. The jobs they could find didn’t really match what they were looking to do, but they soon noticed that it wasn’t any easier for companies to justify investing in recruitment or training for these shorter stints. This is where the bright idea of freelancing came to fruition. Five years later, MyLittleJob expanded into the U.S. and rebranded as WorkGenius once the company grew their vetted talent base with professional freelancers.
WorkGenius is a freelance workforce solution that simplifies hiring and managing freelancers with the use of Artificial Intelligence. The unemployment rate is at a record low and the lack of available talent has made it increasingly difficult to hire successfully. Almost 4 in every 10 working Americans is freelancing today and 91% of companies are struggling to find the specialised talent that they need. WorkGenius bridges together Client, Project, and Freelancer needs.
Marlon and I discuss a range of topics in today’s episode, but the main topics are the true story behind Marlon starting his company, the power of freelancing and we even touch on the struggles of scaling and building a team. There is so much value packed into this episode.
I hope you enjoy this episode of CEO Journals.
