Travail Colombia

Travail is an on-demand platform that connects businesses in the hospitality industry with potential workers and students. On one hand solving staffing for last minute events or personnel absenteeism. On the other, allowing young people access jobs, get training and earn extra money. In the hospitality industry, people who need a job encounter a big challenge: their scope of job postings is limited and lack the proper networks in order to know where to look for possible temporary offerings. Moreover, this segment of students and those in vulnerable conditions are looking for gigs that provide flexibility of schedule, variety in the work done and a fair payment for the job. In contrast, hospitality services owners and managers suffer from high staff turnover and permanent peaks on demand. On top of that, the process of finding temporary personnel is inefficient. Travail is a disruptive model in a country and region that needs new alternatives to battle unemployment (10%) and informality (47%) considering the traditional labor market that is far from what people are looking for.
