Swaggie founder Jamie Wills said the start-up could help businesses struggling to find employees across the NT.

“We know on both the employer and jobseeker sides – people are missing out. From farmers who need fruit pickers, to the CBD businesses who usually thrive off foot-traffic and the influx of international travellers, all have been hit hard since COVID-19,” he said.

“We’ve been hearing first-hand how challenging it can be to find the right people for the right jobs – and to bridge the gap between finding and securing casual or seasonal work at times that suit everyone.”
