earwig is a purpose-driven tech startup helping tradespeople get a better deal at work. Harrison is the Founder and Product Manager, Ben is the UX Designer, and we’re looking to complete the team with a Full-stack Developer.
We want to give to tradespeople the tech-enabled benefits knowledge workers take for granted. We’re currently validating propositions that meet our mission statement of equipping tradespeople to win at work, including:
- Crowdsourced sentiment data to increase transparency and make choosing bad jobs less likely.
- Dynamically allocated jobs to help tradespeople avoid gaps in their earnings.
- A simple, accessible drag-and-drop CV-builder so tradespeople can get the jobs they want.
As the company's first developer, you will be instrumental in ensuring what we build is technically feasible, and solves the problems we want to solve. You will also help to create our company culture.
We’ve raised a pre-seed round of £420k, and won pilots with major contractors Skanska and Willmott Dixon. We’re backed by Europe’s leading tech-for-good VCs including Bethnal Green Ventures and the Resolution Foundation.
Tradespeople are facing big problems in need of solutions, yet few startups seem interested. This is a rare opportunity to join a product team – optimised for speed and learning – in an industry currently underserved by tech-for-good.
earwig | FULL-STACK DEV | ON-SITE/SOME REMOTE | LONDON, UK | SHARE OPTIONS INCL
More than half of construction firms use agency workers to grow their workforce on-demand. Firms rely on a multi-layered structure where 1,000+ recruitment agencies sit between them and workers. Agencies vary drastically in their performance and with no quality control, workers don’t know what they’re getting into before they get into it. To thicken the plot, agencies outsource payroll, adding yet more complexity and confusion for workers.
We're a purpose-driven early-stage startup who've just raised a pre-seed. We're building tech tools (eg, crowdsourced worker sentiment, CV-builder, better job boards) for gig tradespeople. Let's make construction work, and give tradespeople the tech solutions knowledge workers take for granted!
earwig is a work marketplace where gig tradespeople publish ratings & reviews to find great jobs. Companies use this worker sentiment to learn, improve and attract talent.
We're tackling a salient and seriously juicy problem that could change the face of work for everyone, not just tradespeople. We're doing it as a 3-person product team optimised for speed and learning. We're super well-connected in the construction industry and we can guarantee to have at least five users to test with every week. We've just raised a pre-seed round and it's an opportunity for you to join us at a pivotal moment – to come in at ground level and co-create our culture.
Here’s a great opportunity to help the UK’s construction gig workers
For gig tradespeople who use recruitment agencies and feel like the construction industry doesn’t have their best interests at heart, earwig is a career jetpack. It’s what a careers centre could be if it was built by tradespeople and leveraged the latest tech. And unlike standard careers centres, earwig understands tradespeople’s deepest needs — from basic security to self-actualisation — and gives them thrusters to push the boundaries of their potential.
earwig is now hiring a full-stack developer and a digital product designer (both London-based) for a pioneering product team to radically improve work for the 45 million gig tradespeople around the world.
