The company doubled its year-over-year revenue and quadrupled the volume of jobs on its platform, Zalle said. The company did not disclose its revenue. YellowBird plans to hire 10 employees by the end of the year, including customer service, sales and marketing professionals as well as engineers to further scale its technology. “We are immensely impressed by YellowBird’s scalable solution for matching skills in the historically fragmented and friction-filled EHS industry,” Josh Tanenbaum, managing partner at Rebalance, said in a statement. “Equally important, they are creating equitable access to work for all levels of education and ability. We are proud to be part of this journey and the contribution this business is making to workforce development.” YellowBird’s customers include Fortune 100 companies — such as Nationwide and QBE Insurance — along with other manufacturing, construction and energy firms. Professionals on YellowBird’s platform earn an average of $75 per hour, according to the company. In the coming year, the company will continue to focus on expanding its customer base and enhancing its platform to make it easier for professionals to upload new certifications and skills. “As we have supplied wonderful organizations, we have grown with a positive reputation,” Zalle said. “…That’s what’s our goal here is: to make sure people walk away saying, ‘Wow, that was a really good experience.
