Mission
BenchOn operates a B2B talent-mobility platform that matches a business’s idle staff to short-term contracts across multiple industries. The platform addresses employee underutilisation, which the article cites as costing the Australian economy $305 billion annually. In the past 18 months BenchOn has processed over $50 million worth of contracts across defence, IT, construction, mining, engineering, cyber security, logistics and other sectors. The company was founded in March 2016 by Tim Walmsley, who developed the idea while working in the defence industry. Walmsley is an alumnus of the BlueChilli accelerator and credits the program with helping him launch a minimum viable product. BenchOn plans to use new funding to scale nationally and reach more businesses across the ten industries it now operates in.
