Firstwork

Firstwork Solutions, Inc. sells applied AI agents for the administrative work of employing frontline staff in staffing, logistics, delivery, care, retail and light industrial work. Founded in 2024, it focuses on the steps between a job offer and a worker's first shift, and on the checks that have to be repeated during employment.

What the agents do

Firstwork's product line is a set of agents. A document verification agent checks identity documents, licences and other papers; a browser automation agent completes tasks in web portals; a workflow engine builds end-to-end automations; a continuous compliance agent monitors licences and credentials; and a recollection agent gathers renewed and expired documents. For the Netherlands it offers a right-to-work and screening product that combines the statutory verification requirement with pre-employment screening. The agents run on top of an employer's existing HR, payroll and screening systems, and every action is logged. The company uses forward-deployed engineers to map each client's workflows before automating them, and describes its platform as SOC 2 and GDPR-ready.

Who it serves

Employers and staffing firms with large frontline workforces. Firstwork says more than 150,000 frontline workers start work through it each month and names Deel, Job&Talent, Relay, Wonolo and BGSF as customers.
