WorkStep, the company helping large supply chain employers, source, screen, engage, and retain their frontline workforce, announced $17 million in funding led by FirstMark Capital, with additional participation from previous investor and strategic partner, Prologis Ventures.

Improve and expand

The infusion of capital, a combination of Seed ($6.7 million) and Series A ($10.5 million) funding, will be used to grow the team and continue to improve and expand its technology. Founded in 2017, WorkStep supports supply chain companies by helping them find and retain their frontline workforce. From the industrial revolution through the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain workforce has been the backbone of the U.S. economy and has become increasingly critical to Americans’ daily lives – from food on a table to packages delivered on time. The pandemic made it clear supply chain labor demand will only continue to increase with the boom of e-commerce, and turnover will remain an ever-present challenge even during periods of higher unemployment.

Crucial

“This past year, we saw increasing dependence on supply chain labor to fulfill our basic needs”, said Dan Johnston, Co-founder and CEO of WorkStep. “But with record turnover leaving supply chains understaffed and the remaining workers stretched thin, WorkStep’s technology that improves new hire fit and lifts post-hire satisfaction is crucial to retaining this critical worker segment.”

WorkStep will use proceeds from this funding to more than double the size of its existing team with roles across functions including engineering, product, sales, customer success and more. Beyond hiring and retention, over the coming years, WorkStep plans to expand their platform to help customers address the growing industrial skills gap.
