AI + Human = Perfect Match

Neither AI nor humans alone can find you the perfect talent. That's why we combined both.

Our AI analyzes 500,000+ freelancer profiles in seconds to surface the best candidates. Then our expert recruiters verify culture fit, communication style, and motivation. The result? Matches that are both fast and high-quality.

Why Other Approaches Fall Short

Most platforms force you to choose between speed and quality. Neither alone gets you the best talent.

AI-Only Platforms

Speed without substance

Pure AI matching platforms are fast - they can scan thousands of profiles in seconds. But speed alone doesn't guarantee quality.

AI excels at keyword matching and filtering by hard skills. What it can't do is evaluate whether a candidate will actually fit your team's culture, communicate effectively with your stakeholders, or stay motivated throughout a long-term project.

The result? You get candidates quickly, but you spend weeks figuring out whether they're actually right. Many aren't.

Traditional Staffing

Substance without speed

Traditional staffing agencies build deep relationships with candidates. They understand motivations, assess soft skills, and evaluate culture fit through personal interaction.

But their approach doesn't scale. Recruiters can only maintain relationships with a limited network. When you need specialized talent quickly - or need to staff multiple roles simultaneously - traditional agencies struggle to keep up.

The result? You get quality candidates, but you wait weeks. Sometimes months. That's time your projects can't afford.

What if you could have both speed and quality?

What Each Side Brings to the Table

Understanding the strengths of both AI and human expertise helps explain why the combination is so powerful.

AI Intelligence

Instant Analysis

Process millions of data points in seconds. What would take a human recruiter days to review, our AI handles before you finish your coffee.

Pattern Recognition

Learn from thousands of successful placements. The AI identifies which candidate profiles tend to succeed in which types of roles, based on real historical data.

24/7 Availability

Always-on intelligence that never sleeps. Submit a request at 2am and get candidate matches immediately, across any timezone.

Bias Reduction

Objective, skill-based recommendations. The AI focuses on qualifications and track record, helping surface diverse candidates who might be overlooked in traditional recruiting.

Human Expertise

Culture Assessment

Evaluate soft skills, communication style, and team compatibility. Our recruiters understand what makes teams click - and what creates friction.

Relationship Building

Build lasting partnerships with top talent. Our recruiters know their candidates personally - their goals, their preferences, their growth trajectories.

Strategic Insight

Advise on team composition, skill gaps, and market trends. Beyond matching, our recruiters help you think strategically about your talent needs.

Quality Assurance

Final verification that every candidate truly meets your needs. No candidate reaches you without a human recruiter confirming they're genuinely right for the role.

Common Questions

How does the AI matching work?

Our AI analyzes your job requirements and scans our database of 500,000+ freelancers to identify candidates with matching skills, experience, and availability. It considers over 100 data points per candidate including past project success, skill assessments, and work preferences. The matching happens in seconds, not days.

What role do human recruiters play?

After AI surfaces top candidates, our expert recruiters evaluate culture fit, communication style, and motivation. They conduct interviews, verify credentials, and ensure each candidate truly matches your team's needs. This human layer catches nuances that AI alone cannot - like whether someone will communicate well with your specific stakeholders, or stay motivated on long-term projects.

Which agencies did WorkGenius acquire?

WorkGenius acquired four staffing agencies: JBC (retail, entertainment, media & fashion), Agency WorX (strategic staffing), Expertlead (tech talent with live coding assessments), and Futurepath (EV and automotive software specialists). These acquisitions bring decades of recruiting expertise in-house, ensuring our human verification layer is powered by real industry experts.

What makes this different from other platforms?

Most platforms offer either AI-only matching (fast but impersonal) or human-only recruiting (thorough but slow). WorkGenius combines both: AI handles speed and scale while humans provide judgment and relationships. This hybrid approach delivers matches that are both fast and high-quality - you don't have to compromise on either.
