Category Manager (Non-Food) at Terawork

The thought of creating TERAWORK came to our founder in 2015 after an unpleasant experience where he engaged and worked remotely with an unknown person he met online to help complete a tech project. While it is clear he needed help from an expert for a few days, he didn’t get one. What contributed to the bad experience include lack of online platforms within the region with an end-to-end process for employing remote manpower in a flexible and safe manner.

In response, he created a process he uses repeatedly to find and engage, on on-demand basis, independent workers for his tasks. Unlike before, the process enables both himself and his independent worker trust working remotely with each other. He decided to build the process into a technology for a lot of people to benefit from.

Two years down the line, that technology becomes the foundation of our online freelance marketplace where businesses can conveniently engage, on ‘pay-as-you-go’ basis, freelance professionals across various services including software, mobile apps development, contents writing, creative designs, web design, SEO, digital marketing, animation production, audio/video services, photography, events planning, virtual assistance etc. to work on their projects. TERAWORK is pioneering new ways to inject efficiency and higher productivity into getting workforce.
