About GoodWorker:

Join GoodWorker and be part of a team who gives millions of people in India control of their livelihoods. GoodWorker is an exciting new technology start-up with a social agenda, set up with one dream in mind; helping to transform the lives of blue-collar workers around the world, by leveraging Web 3.0 technologies. Our focus is to start with helping them in advancing their careers and thereby enabling them to improve quality of lives for themselves & their families. Our vision is to create value for workers and employers, impacting 300 million lives by 2030.

GoodWorker is a joint venture between Schoolnet India & LemmaTree (a 100% subsidiary of Temasek, Singapore with hubs in India & Germany) - It started with us raising 34 MN USD in late 2020 followed by building our founding team (headquartered in Bangalore) in 2021. We launched & scaled a biz model that leverages the marketplace of hiring partners across India, to help workers not only discover jobs across sectors but also handhold them till they finally join employers of their choice Building on the insights and expertise developed during this period, we are now launching multiple technology platforms that together will help realize our vision. And to achieve this, we are rapidly looking to hire passionate & top-quality professionals (GoodWorker is already a 100+ strong team and counting) as well as looking to sign up the best of external partners across functions.

A lot of organizations 'talk' about valuing their people, processes and building an impactful and lasting positive culture, well guess what, WE actually implement it! We know the pandemic has hit us hard, and most of us have had to take a backseat to rethink our priorities. We do not believe in giving directions, we want you to chart your own path. We would love for you to harmonize and connect. Perks, sure, there are plenty, however, we believe our best perks and rewards come from making our employees happier!

Sure, we are customer oriented (like all organizations!), but we are employee centric too:

1. We believe in making mistakes and learning from them

2. We aim to bring impact in a billion lives by 2030, and it all begins with our employees!

3. Responsibility and accountability is not just talked, we strive our every day to be like that

4. Think big or go home is the motto we follow - and how do we impact long term, sustainably

Now surely all of the above cannot be achieved without a key parameter, TRANSPARENCY! What you see is what you get, no hidden agenda. For every big thing we aim to achieve, our first thought is - what is in it for our customers, which also includes our employees.

We at Goodworker are passionate believers of investing in our people and building a culture

with strongly progressive values, which naturally brings the best out of them. Some of the key people practices that run at Goodworker include

1. ESOPs for all.

2. Work-life balance (e.g. unlimited leaves, encouraging people to take time off to take care of loved ones & to recharge).

3. Investing strongly in IT tools to help manage our people practices & assist them in being efficient at work.

4. Focus on both the 'what' (what goals we achieve) and the 'how' (how we achieve those goals).

5. Building for an 'inclusive culture'.

Need we say more?

We do not plan to hire to delegate, we want to hire to elevate. Obviously, we all want to work with the best teams, and you know which are those - the teams which are humble, diverse and inclusive! Finally.. We hope that this note has given you an insight to who we are and what we are setting out to do.
