    MISSION

    Wirkn is the world’s first end-to-end mobile employment solution designed to help youth join the workplace and to help employers better connect with the mobile generation.

    With the Wirkn app, candidates will easily locate job opportunities as they walk down the street or through their local mall and apply via dynamic videos that allow candidates to showcase their personal brand to prospective employers. Store managers will have access to a pool of qualified candidates on demand, within the palm of their hand to fill new roles and address seasonal demand.

    Wirkn is aimed at youth, targeting the retail and hospitality industry which represents more than 15.4 million employees in North America where at least 70% of all retail jobs are part-time.

    ABOUT US

    Located at 1 Yonge St. in downtown Toronto, Wirkn is a startup set on disrupting employment in the shift-based retail and hospitality industry through a mobile-first application and job marketplace.

    Imagine using your smartphone GPS to spot job opportunities around you and applying right on your mobile device with a digital profile that includes an introductory video to help you differentiate and express yourself. No more walking door-to-door handing out paper resumes. Instead, you’d receive instant feedback with push notifications being sent to store managers the minute you apply - and that just the beginning.
