Gigazon Internet Capital Limited
Gigazon is an internet capital company. Since 2019 its work has been staffing technology and automation — advising the firms that place people, in four markets that regulate that placement completely differently. OpenTime is what came out of it.
How it went
Two problems that were obviously the same problem: businesses spending months to fill one role, and staffing agencies sitting on databases of tens of thousands of people they had already paid to find and could no longer reach.
The consulting practice formalises around staffing technology and automation — system selection, workflow automation, database reactivation and classification. The work starts putting us inside other firms’ operations rather than outside them.
The practice extends across the United States, Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom. Four regulatory regimes with almost nothing in common turn out to be the most useful thing about the vantage point.
Six million dollars and five years of development. Four applications, the agency employment model, the benefits structure, invoicing and compliance — built to completion rather than to a demo.
The advisory practice continues. It is how we stay honest about what is actually happening on a desk, and it is where most of what is in the platform came from in the first place.
What Gigazon does
The advisory practice
System architecture, workflow automation, database reactivation, placement operations and classification advisory — for staffing firms and for the employers who buy from them. Six practice areas across four markets.
The consulting practiceThe platform
Four applications on one platform: a business hires a verified, available person in a single tap; the agency runs its whole operation; the worker gets raises, insurance and paid interviews; the interviewer just turns up. Everyone working through it is employed by a licensed agency.
How the platform worksHow we work
It is tempting to build for the most permissive jurisdiction and deal with the others later. Later is more expensive than it looks, and the rewrite lands at the worst possible moment.
No minimum viable product, and no pilot that quietly does the hard part by hand. If a payroll depends on it, it should work before anyone is asked to trust it.
Platforms that churn through people pay for it in quality, and so do their customers. Raises, coverage and paid interviews are retention mechanics as much as they are ethics.
If we are not live in a market, we say so rather than take the details and go quiet. It costs a lead and saves a reputation.
