Snagajob is a technology platform that operates as an online marketplace connecting hourly workers with employers across the U.S., focusing on simplifying job searches and hiring for shift-based roles.[3][1][6] It serves millions of job seekers—reaching over 100 million registered users—and tens of thousands of employers, including major brands like Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Lowe’s, and Amazon, solving the challenge of matching blue-collar and hourly workers with flexible, right-fit opportunities.[4][5][1] By 2024, it supported jobs at 470,000+ employer locations, with strong mobile adoption amid 70% of job applications coming via devices, and in November 2024, it was acquired by JobGet, operating as a standalone entity to expand its tech-driven reach.[1][3][4]
Snagajob was founded in 2000 (with some sources noting a 1999 launch) by Shawn Boyer, who started it from his home in Washington, D.C., as an online job board targeting the underserved hourly and blue-collar job market.[1][3][5] Boyer served as CEO until 2013, building early traction through investor funding and a model allowing workers to create profiles and apply while employers posted openings.[1][3] Key milestones include acquiring PeopleMatter in 2016 for workforce management tools, launching shift-specific apps like Shifts by Snagajob (evolving from HUSL), a 2018 rebrand to Snag (reverted in 2019), leadership shifts with CEOs like Peter Harrison (2013-2018), Fabio Rosati (2018-2019), Mathieu Stevenson (2019), and Keith Forshew (2022), and selling PeopleMatter in 2021.[3][2] The pivotal 2024 acquisition by JobGet marked its integration into a larger platform while preserving operations.[1][3][4]
Snagajob rides the gig and hourly economy trend, where flexible, mobile-first work has surged, especially post-pandemic, filling gaps in traditional hiring for sectors like retail, food service, and logistics.[1][4][5] Its timing capitalized on early internet adoption for blue-collar jobs in 2000, evolving with mobile (critical by 2024) and AI-driven matching via JobGet, amid market forces like labor shortages and 100M+ U.S. hourly workers.[1][4][5] It influences the ecosystem by standardizing hourly hiring tech, partnering with giants, and now amplifying JobGet's dominance as the largest U.S. hourly platform, fostering accessible employment pathways.[4][6]
Post-2024 acquisition, Snagajob's standalone operations under JobGet position it for accelerated growth through combined tech like AI matching and instant scheduling, targeting even broader hourly workforce coverage.[4] Trends like rising gig demand, mobile/AI hiring, and economic shifts favoring flexibility will shape its path, potentially expanding to Canada and new features for shift workers.[6][3] Its influence may evolve by powering more efficient labor markets, solidifying its legacy as a pioneer in connecting everyday workers to opportunities that started from a home-based idea in 2000.[1][3]
Snagajob has raised $41.0M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $27.0M Series C in March 2011.
