Workpop

Workpop was a Santa Monica, California hiring platform focused on hourly workers, matching employers with job candidates. Backed by Obvious Ventures, Slow Ventures, and Trinity Ventures, it was acquired by Cornerstone OnDemand in 2018 and the product was shut down. Workpop never published a public API; its engineering team left behind twelve first-party npm packages under the @workpop scope. The workpop.com domain has since lapsed and now redirects to an unrelated third-party site.

Workpop is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Hiring, Human Resources, Recruiting, and Hourly Workers.
