Why Yakka
Reliable and efficient labour hire
Boosted accountability
Clear roles, tracked actions and real-time updates keep project managers, recruiters and workers on the same page.
Safe, clear payments & chat
Transparent project management and real-time chat translation help avoid misunderstandings — your projects, our technology.
Empowering women in construction
Only 12% of Australia’s construction workforce are women. We want to change that.
A labour hiring app can reduce bias by shortlisting candidates on their qualifications and experience rather than their gender. It also improves communication, making it easier for women to show interest in construction jobs and ask questions.
