WorkWhile, an AI-powered labor platform connecting businesses with hourly workers, has introduced WorkWhile Coach—an AI talent agent that engages workers in conversations to uncover and assess their full range of skills, then matches them to diverse job opportunities across multiple employers. This approach shifts from traditional single-job filtering to building long-term career pathways by highlighting capabilities workers may overlook, particularly in hospitality and other hourly sectors.

WorkWhile Coach represents a significant evolution in AI-driven talent matching for the hourly workforce. Traditional hiring software often prioritizes elimination for specific roles, but WorkWhile's platform operates as a multi-employer marketplace that rewards comprehensive skill demonstration and ongoing career development.
"Many hiring tools are designed primarily to filter applicants," said Simon Khalaf, CEO of WorkWhile. "Coach isn't looking for reasons to reject workers; it is designed to uncover what they can do and connect them to roles where those skills are valued. We see AI as a way to expand access to opportunity, not limit it."
The tool counters challenges in automated screening, where AI-generated resumes—used by 45% to 60% of job seekers per Resume Now Surveys—frequently face rejection from hiring managers for lacking authenticity and personalization. WorkWhile Coach instead conducts interactive dialogues to surface authentic capabilities, including those not explicitly listed on resumes.
"Resumes — and even interviews — often capture only a fraction of what someone can do," said Alex Long, Head of Product for the WorkWhile Marketplace. "WorkWhile Coach goes deeper, helping workers articulate skills they may not have thought to highlight. That gives us a more complete picture of their capabilities and allows us to match them to a wider range of opportunities over time."
The initial rollout targets hospitality through the WorkWhile Certified Professional Program. Workers complete conversational assessments to demonstrate knowledge, earning certifications that attach to their profiles. This credentialing process provides verifiable proof of competence while preserving final hiring authority with human managers.
The launch aligns with WorkWhile's strong momentum, including 110% revenue growth in the past nine months and expanded staffing services for major U.S. venues such as stadiums, convention centers, and universities.
By leveraging AI to broaden opportunity access rather than narrow it, WorkWhile Coach aims to create more equitable pathways in the dynamic hourly labor market.
