HR startup GoWorkaBit. Why are we doing this?
Because we strongly believe that people should have the option to choose where, when and with whom they work. How work gets done is changing.
Working is no longer just a way to earn money — people expect more of it. Excitement, knowledge, growth opportunities, and new relationships. They want to work in a new way, with shorter projects and a novel approach that applies to every work field. The regulations and rules that were fine 10 years ago just don’t work anymore. We want to bend those rules — maybe even break some once and for all :)
The GoWorkaBit origin story
It’s a great example of how opportunity and preparation align to create solutions that can change the world.

Garage48 Women Special hackathon
The “Garage48 Women Special” hackathon took place in October 2013, where Kei pitched the idea and met Gerli, Ethel and Ingrid for the first time. The notion of a more flexible approach to working was dear to their hearts and so the first edition of GoWorkaBit was born in 48 hours. Kristjan participated in the same event as a mentor and joined us a few months later.

2013
One day we came back from a client meeting at the Baltika Group with Kristjan (our CEO today) where we heard the wish for an “action-team” and thought...
…what the hell, there are a lot of people who need flexible working options and who would be willing to help out when the time is suitable. There has to be a way to connect those two aspects.

Co-Founder Kei worked as an HR Consultant for several years
She recruited people for different companies and saw the challenges in the HR field. More and more companies needed extra personnel really fast for certain periods to get the work done.
Our team
Interest in the Future of Work is what connects our team. But we also like work to be fun and we want everyone else to have a chance to experience that. We have a dark sense of humor, we want to do things differently and we are not afraid to experiment. Sometimes things don’t go as planned and that is totally fine. We love people.
Sometimes we browse our user profiles and just feel so happy that we're able to unite such a cool and special crowd of people.

GoWorkaBit solved a situation where we needed a replacement for a worker who had got ill. It's usually almost impossible to find someone for the same day; via GoWorkaBit we had the needed person in half an hour.
