JobGet, a Boston-based platform to connect hourly workers with employers, acquired Heroes Jobs, a Los Angeles-based social networking platform targeted toward members of Gen Z seeking retail and hospitality roles.
“Over the past four years, we have been laser-focused on building the top mobile-first job platform,” said Tony Liu, CEO of JobGet. “Today, we are thrilled to share the next exciting step in our journey with Heroes Jobs. By joining forces, we will further strengthen social connections between job seekers while deepening employer selections within JobGet’s marketplace.”
JobGet’s marketplace currently serves more than 100,000 employers and provides access to a community of job seekers with a reach of 65 million.
Heroes Jobs provides a social app that helps GenZ job seekers build a professional footprint and engage with future employers. With nearly one million users, the Heroes Job app serves a variety of employers. It was founded in 2019 by Tristan Petit, Cyriac Lefort and Adrien Dewulf.
“Our mission has always been to help GenZ jump-start their professional life and hourly workers thrive, and we are thrilled to join forces with JobGet’s team to scale that vision further,” Petit said.
