Idea

There are 2.7m self-employed professionals in the UK. These are C-level executives, managers and directors. They enjoy the flexibility of schedule and remote work. But finding part-time, flexible jobs are often a lower priority for recruiters and request for remote work is often sidelined.

On the other hand, companies spend an estimated £20,000 to fill in a senior management role. And this comes with the risk of the candidate not working out for the role. In fact, >30% of hires do not make it past the probation period.

Powered by AI, Juggle is an all-encompassing platform that connects companies with the right hire, manage the contract and payments.

It is completely free for companies to post jobs; professionals will get a recommendation to the right opportunities based on their profiles. We aim to present to companies 10 pre-qualified candidates with a target of hiring within 2 weeks. Once a contract is agreed, both companies and candidates can manage the timesheet and payment through the platform.

For every successful hire, we charge the company a monthly fee as a % of the payment. There is also a one-off payment option for companies wishing to turn the contract into a permanent role.

This funding round will allow us to make additional hires in certain key positions, expand the product features and apply for FCA license with an aim of handling payments at a larger scale.
