Orka Technology Group Makes Annual Index Of Disruptive UK Startups

The longest running annual index of its kind, ranking the country's top 1000 fast-growth new UK businesses sees Manchester-based Orka Technology Group at number 63.

Run by Startups.co.uk, the Startups 100 offers a showcase of new businesses which demonstrate innovation, solid financials, economic impact and the ability to scale.

Orka Technology Group provides a ‘Labour-as-a-Service’ platform using data and automation to fill vacant roles quickly and effectively.

Orka Technology Group was already making waves with its AI powered recruitment solution when it featured in the Startups Top 100 list last year, and it’s continued to develop that platform.

Founded by Tom Pickersgill, James Doyle, and Nick Groves in 2016, Orka Technology Group and their Broadstone app aims to help workers find fair, flexible, temporary employment with large corporations – and it’s succeeding!

Orka Technology Group's Broadstone app uses artificial intelligence, data, and automations to connect organisations with a community of talented flexible workers. It works by downloading the Broadstone app, which lets workers create a profile and receive notifications about jobs with reputable organisations.

Orka Technology Group operates within regulated industries, and its app reflects the needs that workers and employees face – its speedy background checks are a big part of getting work quickly and avoiding steep agency fees.

For workers, Orka Technology Group's Broadstone app offers security, structure, and opportunity – pay is instantly accessible upon completion of their shift, holiday is accrued, and PAYE contributions are taken care of.

A gamified element rewards professionalism and discourages no-shows, building value around workers’ merits rather than focussing purely on availability.
