Part-time work is common nowadays, with close to thousands in part-time workers in Singapore to be exact. Of the percentage of workers who are part-time, about one in every five of them claims to be working involuntarily. In other words, this segment of the part-time workforce is facing some sort of economic situation that requires more work.
Part timers, unite!
On the other hand, there are those who are actively looking for part time work, casual workers and full time working personnel alike contributing to the vibrant part timer scene in sunny Singapore, in virtually a limitless number of sectors and industries actively looking for last minute help.
But what exactly is Hug Hippo?
Here we have a startup headed by an industry veteran in the conventional recruitment and staffing industry, with a CTO taking care of the website portal as well as the development of the proprietary tech that goes into the all-important mobile apps, now available for both the iOS and Android devices.
Hug Hippo is an online job matching portal based in Singapore. Utilizing our proprietary technology, we connect businesses looking for extra help with a dedicated pool of part timers — instantly.
Unlike conventional mobile apps, few and far in-between here in the little red dot, that simply provide a directory/classified type of listings of jobs that would probably cost the advertisers a handful of coins (or credits) to get posted, and subsequently ‘taken’ up by would-be part timers and casual workers alike — the value proposition behind Hug Hippo is unique, to say the least.
It’s in the tech.
The technology that goes into this mobile recruitment app is tasked to provide a more intimate setting between businesses and employers with potential part timers and casual workers. In addition to automated matching, real-time reporting, to attendance taking and eventually automated payroll, this is one simplified tech done right — moving out beyond its MVP status to present itself as one very strong contender amidst the sea of me-too apps crowding the marketplace.
