In order to ensure that workers get consistent employment, Workmate was founded. More than 800 companies are on the platform. In low- to mid- skilled work, frontline staff are defined as essential workers who provide essential services to the public. Roles in the sectors include admin and customer service.

Workmate provides companies with a pre-vetting pool of workers for both short and long-term work and uses proprietary artificial intelligence to improve matching quality and attendance rates. Data points like work experience, location and skills are taken into account and combined with first-hand behavioral data and worker history on Workmate's platform.

After the acquisition, Workmate will be run by Persol Asia Pacific and retain its own brand.
