Justworks CEO on Expanding Its All-In-One Business Solution
Justworks recently closed a $40 million round of funding, and the human resources software platform is looking to expand its technology offering. The company's Founder and CEO Isaac Oates explains how Justworks plans to use this new funding for expansion.
"We are starting to think about new kinds of products that our customers are asking for," says Oates. "They talk about things like expense reports, different kinds of insurance."
Oates says he sees the biggest market opportunity in new cities Justworks is available in that include Dallas, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.
It's a tough time for the job market. Amid wider economic uncertainty, some analysts have said that businesses are at a “no-hire, no fire” standstill. At the same time, some sizeable layoffs have continued to pile up — raising worker anxieties across sectors. Some companies have pointed to rising operational costs due to U.S.'s new tariffs, while others have redirected money to artificial intelligence investments. Workers in the public sector have also been hit hard. Federal jobs were cut by the thousands earlier this year. And many workers are now going without pay as the U.S. government shutdown has now dragged on for more than a month.
