WORK89 helps businesses, NGOs, training providers and public bodies connect with local skilled people, keep a verified record of every job, and report results.
The problem. You need someone reliable at short notice, you never know who to trust, and nothing records who did what.
How WORK89 helps. Post a job or invite people you already know. Every job ends with a record that both sides confirm, so you build a trusted list over time and can re-book fast.
Available now: job posts, invitations, work records. Being built: a Trusted Bench and one-click repeat jobs.
The problem. Funders ask what happened to your graduates and members, and you have no proof beyond a phone call.
How WORK89 helps. Your people build verified work records that they own. You see who is finding work, and you can show funders evidence instead of promises.
Available now: verified work records. Being built: cohort views and outcome reports you can download.
The problem. You need to know who in your area can do what, and to be sure the work really happened.
How WORK89 helps. A local skills picture built from people who choose to take part, with tamper-evident records of completed work, and voice and low-data access for people other systems miss.
Available now: skills profiles and work records. Being built: reporting by area for programme managers.
The problem. Youth, supplier-development and local-hire programmes need evidence, not just attendance lists.
How WORK89 helps. Sponsor a group or a skill area and receive clear numbers: how many people took part, how many jobs were confirmed, and how many are still active.
Being built with our first partners: sponsored cohorts and reporting.
The problem. You want to reach local skilled people and tradespeople directly, not by chance.
How WORK89 helps. A clearly labelled sponsored placement in front of the people on WORK89, with views and clicks you can measure.
Available now: sponsor placements.
When both sides confirm a job, WORK89 issues a tamper-evident record. Anyone given its link can check it exists, without seeing names or payment.
Voice search and an installable app work on ordinary phones and low data.
Names and phone numbers are hidden from visitors. WORK89 is registered with the Information Regulator and designed around POPIA.
Workers are never charged to find or obtain work, and WORK89 takes no fee or commission on a hire.
The more you tell us, the better we can say whether WORK89 can help. We read every message.
We agree terms with each first partner before anything is charged, and we tell you plainly what is included. Workers never pay.
No. WORK89 is software. You and the other person agree the work between you. We do not place people or take a fee on hires.
WORK89 went live in August 2026, and we are inviting our first partner organisations now. Early partners help shape what we build next.
A person at WORK89 reads it and replies. We talk through your problem first, and only suggest something if it fits.
