Why I Built Find Me Labour

A while back, I was in the thick of it, searching for reliable, skilled labour for my business. But instead of finding a seamless solution, I got caught in a cycle of frustration with the traditional labour hire industry. So, I decided to fix the problem myself, and that's how Find Me Labour was born.

The Struggle with Traditional Labour Hire

Let me take you back to when it all started. Like many business owners, I needed extra hands from time to time. When I turned to traditional labour hire companies, I thought I was going to get a smooth, easy process. Spoiler alert: I was wrong.

I quickly learned that the traditional system had its flaws. First off, finding the right workers was a nightmare. Many of these agencies didn’t truly understand my needs, and the candidates they sent were often under qualified or just not a good fit for my company culture. Then there were the hidden fees and costs. Want to hire a worker? Sure, but be ready to pay extra for things you never saw coming. And don’t even get me started on the lack of communication. I felt like I was always in the dark, unsure of what was happening, who was coming, or when they'd show up.

It wasn't just annoying; it was inefficient. I was losing time and money, and that wasn’t just frustrating, it was unsustainable.

How I Decided to Build a Better Way

After a few bad experiences, I had a lightbulb moment. Why wasn’t there an easier, more transparent way to connect businesses with qualified laborers? I figured if I was dealing with these issues, other business owners must be going through the same thing.

That’s when I decided to do something about it. I couldn’t sit around complaining and hoping someone would fix the problem. Instead, I set out to create something better. I wanted to build a platform where businesses like mine could easily find, hire, and manage skilled labour, without all the hassle.

Enter Find Me Labour

I envisioned Find Me Labour as a solution to all the issues I had with traditional labour hire. Here’s what I wanted to solve:

1. Simplicity and Transparency: No more hidden fees. No more confusion. Just a clear and easy-to-use platform where businesses could browse through worker profiles, view ratings, and get an idea of who they were hiring before committing.

2. Quality Control: I wanted to make sure that the workers were top-notch. No more sending unqualified people to jobs just because the agency had a “pool of available workers.” With Find Me Labour, we make sure every worker on the platform meets certain standards and is vetted for their skills.

3. Flexibility: Every business is different. What works for one company might not work for another. I wanted to create a system where businesses could scale up or down depending on their needs. Whether you need one worker for a few hours or a team of specialists for a long-term project, Find Me Labour makes it easy.

4. Better Communication: The final straw for me with traditional hire agencies was the lack of communication. I wanted a platform where businesses could easily stay in the loop with their labourers, by reach out directly to workers if needed.
