Hello, and welcome to Blinkn!

We’re thrilled to have you here, and we’re excited to help you discover new work opportunities. While we have your attention, we’d love to share a bit about who we are and why we built this platform.

...Who are we?

We’re a tech start-up based in Sydney, Australia. Although our team comes from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, we’re united by a common mission: to create the world’s most open and accessible job platform.

I personally have over 15 years of experience in the construction industry, working as a Carpenter, tradesman, foreman, and project manager. I’ve seen first-hand the challenges of finding consistent work. When I ran my own small carpentry business, I spent countless nights searching for the next job, quoting, and invoicing. The process was exhausting—posting ads on multiple platforms that often didn’t deliver and struggling to find reliable help when I needed it most.

This experience made me realize something important: it shouldn’t be this hard. And so, Blinkn was born.

...Why Blinkn?

We believe that finding work opportunities shouldn’t be a struggle. The problem isn’t you—it’s the platforms you’re currently using. If you’ve found your way to Blinkn, chances are you’ve tried other platforms and are willing to explore new options. I can relate—I’ve been in your shoes.

After spending years on both sides of the table—searching for work and looking for staff—I grew frustrated with platforms that didn’t live up to their promises. So, I decided to build one that does. Blinkn is different, and here’s why.

...The Difference?

Blinkn is more than just a job platform—it’s a peer-to-peer job network. We connect users looking for work directly with those who can provide it. There’s no need to post jobs or submit quotes to book work opportunities. Simply book providers directly from their profiles. It’s that simple.

While quoting has its place, especially for larger jobs, it often slows things down. We believe this friction keeps many people from getting to work quickly and causes businesses to lose productivity due to a lack of staff. Blinkn eliminates that friction, offering instant access to work opportunities. Plus, it’s free to join and use, which makes it even better!

We’re confident you’ll love Blinkn and find work easier than ever before. We can’t wait to grow this platform with you!
