Vision is to build the global ecosystem to hire, relocate, and manage skilled tradespeople

To close the skilled trades gap through a hiring process that is efficient, transparent, and affordable — powered by technology and direct access to global talent.

Personal Story from Founders

A few years ago, I saw firsthand how hard it was for qualified, hard-working people to access life-changing jobs abroad when I worked at Just Eat takeaway, simply because the system wasn’t built for them. That moment stuck with me.

We started WorkUgo to solve a problem that’s both deeply personal and globally urgent: skilled tradespeople around the world are being overlooked, while industries in developed countries are stalling due to severe labor shortages.

The issue isn’t a lack of talent, it’s a lack of access.

Value proposition

Solving Skilled Labour Shortages in Developed Economies
Across Europe, North America, and beyond, companies are facing costly delays due to chronic shortages of qualified tradespeople. Infrastructure, housing, energy, and manufacturing projects are delayed,  not because of funding, but because the local labour supply simply doesn’t exist. We expand your access to talent by connecting you with pre-vetted, relocation-ready tradespeople from across the globe.
End-to-End Hiring Without the Headaches
Hiring international skilled trades isn’t just about sourcing; it’s about vetting, immigration, documentation, and relocation. We handle the complexity for any type of business. From verifying certifications and assessing language skills to managing work permits and onboarding logistics, WorkUgo simplifies every step. You focus on selecting the right candidate, and we take care of everything else, seamlessly and compliantly.
Hiring That Actually Sticks
Temporary fixes don’t solve structural labour shortages. That’s why we focus on placements through employer-linked immigration pathways. Our tradespeople are highly motivated, their right to work is tied to a company job offer, creating built-in loyalty and retention. No poaching. No ghosting. Just committed workers who stay, contribute, and grow with your business.
Global Talent, Matched with Precision
We don’t flood you with CVs, we deliver a curated list of pre-qualified matches based on trade type, location, certification, language, and immigration readiness. Our AI-driven matching engine ensures that every candidate company sees fit both the company role and its regulatory context. It’s global sourcing with local compliance, built into every match.
