Partly as a result of modern employment trends, and partly as a result of the pandemic’s effect on the world of work, there’s an increasing gap between traditional full-time employment and freelancing. So-called ‘job pairing’ splits a full-time position between two people to reduce working hours without sacrificing the career continuity of those involved.
Roleshare is a talent marketplace that matches professionals with each other so they can both apply and share one full-time job. The startup has now raised an initial pre-seed funding round of over $550,000 from largely UK-based super angels to build a global “rolesharing” marketplace and is now committed to launching with “large multi-sector organizations”, it says.
