Reflecting on an Award-Winning 2024

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re excited to reflect on an incredible year at CollabWORK!

This year, we’ve distributed jobs for over 1,000 companies, including Uber, ZoomInfo, Avis, Hearst, Messari, and Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits. We also partnered with 200+ newsletters and communities, becoming the exclusive job provider for Morning Brew and SmartBrief.

We loved connecting with so many of you at conferences including Talent Acquisition Week, Transform, IAMPHENOM, UNLEASH America, TATech, RecFest, and HR Tech, and our own NYC events with the Talent Collective in April and TALK in November. These moments remind us of the power of community and why we’re so passionate about connecting you and your employers with the "Hidden Job Market" to discover passive, diverse, and targeted talent at scale.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to partnering with you in 2025!

Best,
Summer Delaney
CollabWORK Founder and CEO
