About Us
uWorkin is a technology and platform to facilitate the interaction between individuals and a wide variety of potential employer groups through the creation of specific talent communities which include but are not limited to community, local government, industry associations, educational institutions and infrastructure development projects (Talent Communities).
uWorkin allows for different Talent Communities to be created and managed by individuals approved by uWorkin (Talent Community Owner). Following the creation of a specific Talent Community, the uWorkin platform facilitates the creation of accounts for both individuals seeking employment opportunities within a Talent Community to search and apply for jobs (Talent Community Job Seekers) and for employers to either post job adverts or search for potential employees (Talent Community Employers).
Our purpose is to facilitate both the creation of specific Talent Communities and connect Talent Community Job Seekers with Talent Community Employers through the uWorkin platform (the Services).
