The world economy is based on a ubiquitous need to get mission-critical and repetitive work done right, and right now. It is the lifeblood of every organization's ability to survive and thrive. Unglamorous but mission-critical work such as cleaning data lists, conducting market research, running lead generation campaigns, and conducting user acceptance testing are foundational activities necessary for organizations to communicate with customers and prospects, test new products and services, and drive growth and productivity. Work Simplr's mission is to change the way organizations get this mission-critical work done to drive better business outcomes while leveraging an untapped talent pool of students and building the talent pipeline of the future.

"As the economy struggles with a continued shortage of qualified workers, it's more important than ever that businesses find new ways to improve productivity by being able to launch new workstreams in a more efficient, on-demand model," says said Jodi McPherson, CEO of UPSKLS and now CEO of Work Simplr. "Work Simplr enables organizations to quickly and seamlessly launch new workstreams through our platform, leveraging a huge talent pool of students with workstream-specific skills. It's a game changer for enhanced productivity and organizational agility."

Shrevan Marath, former CEO of Work Simplr and current Chief Product Officer of the combined company says, "Our proprietary project scoping algorithm, combined with the new data matching technology, make the Work Simplr platform the fastest and most efficient option to initiate and complete repetitive mission-critical, workstreams." Marath continues, "Work Simplr is architecting an evolved data footprint for our students and workers, providing a robust personalized credential, defining who they are through what they've done professionally. Our platform aligns the interests and capabilities of organizations with Work Simplr's contingent workforce, by matching qualified students to specific projects."
