In late 2023, HeyHire completed the acquisition of Gigaroo, a hospitality oriented hiring platform that operated in the same space we serve today. This move was an important step in simplifying the hiring landscape for restaurants, bars, and hospitality workers while reinforcing HeyHire’s position as the leading platform built for local communities.
With the acquisition finalized, the Gigaroo platform was fully closed down. Any remaining employers and job seekers who previously relied on Gigaroo now have direct access to HeyHire, where they can continue finding talent and opportunities without disruption.
A focus on Austin and local growth
HeyHire was born in Austin and built hand in hand with the city’s hospitality community. By consolidating platforms, we are doubling down on our commitment to solving hiring challenges locally first, then scaling that success to more cities across the country.
A message from our team
“Our mission is to give hospitality businesses a hiring platform that is built specifically for their world. Bringing Gigaroo into HeyHire allowed us to remove noise from the market and stay focused on delivering a solution that truly works for local restaurants and bars.”
- Benjamin Sakhai, Co Founder of HeyHire
Looking ahead
HeyHire will continue expanding its support for local employers while enhancing the experience for job seekers looking to work in hospitality. This acquisition was an important milestone that reinforces our long term strategy: one strong platform, one community driven approach, and constant innovation to help the industry hire faster.
