From insight to impact: The founding story of CollabWORK - innovating recruitment through community power
CollabWORK was born from a single insight: Connections open doors. Founder Summer Delaney spent over a decade building a successful career in media at companies like Amazon Studios, Yahoo, CNN, News Corp and Tribune Media.
Summer never got a role through applying online. Her network and communities helped her find great gigs, and she learned that power is often limited by circumstance - if you knew the right person, or if the hiring manager happened to be on the right list-serv, Slack channel, or Facebook Group.
So CollabWORK was launched: Empowering both candidates and hiring managers to tap into the power of community at scale for trust, transparency, and satisfaction in creative recruiting.
CollabWORK is building the first community referral-based system to find the best work and workers. Unlike other platforms out there, we are invested in your professional development. We care about what you want to do today, and what you want to create in the future. We hope you join us.
