Our Talent Platform

Putting People in Power

The future of work is people in power and we believe that worker ownership is the catalyst for that change. Our portfolio of companies dedicated to talent and employment services are centered around the worker experience to deliver exceptional results.

We are in the business of changing the system of work. Our companies leverage the culture of ownership and the power of technology to build and recruit our network of extraordinary talent.

Our Work

Recruitment and People Operations

The current employment landscape is shifting and we believe that worker ownership is the future of work. Workers are waking up to the structural inequity inherent in business today and demanding better treatment, fairer pay, and a seat at the table. Obran Employment Services is the cooperative’s group employment platform servicing the business’s needs for recruitment and retention of new members while leveraging that expertise to build robust networks of talent to service external clients.

Temporary Staffing

Temporary staffing has long been a center for exploitation and extractive practices rooted in systemic oppression. Staffing operations also exist in every industry and provide a low cost entry point or “beachhead” to learn first hand the ins and outs of a particular industry.

We view temporary staffing as a strategic point of entry for our growth and exploration into a particular industry and geography. Our first business Core Staffing predominately served returning citizens and other “hard to employ” people in food service and construction jobs . We view staffing as an opportunity to learn alongside our clients how to be best in class by putting “boots on the ground”.

Talent Network

We believe that talent is evenly distributed however opportunity is not. Our talent network businesses build on this idea to create specialized communities of worker-owners who are stronger together. This aggregation allows us to leverage economies of scale to access better member benefits and better opportunities. And in an era of ever-changing workplaces culture remote and flexible work is now the norm we believe that leveraging the right technology enables greater levels of interaction and innovation.
