Our story

The Story Behind
Young Wild & Freelance.

As former travelers ourselves, we've experienced firsthand the value of financial flexibility and the benefits of dynamic working environments. In an overwhelming job market, we wanted to create a centralized social media platform where individuals could seamlessly connect with short-term or long-term work opportunities. It all started with the question during our stay in Melbourne: could we forge partnerships with companies seeking long-term workforce solutions while also offering short-term engagements to foster a dynamic and swift working environment?
‍
Motivated by this inquiry, we started our mission to revolutionize the recruitment landscape. Our story is one of innovation and empowerment, driven by a desire to create something greater than just a recruitment agency by creating a community for everyone; residents and travelers. Starting as a vibrant and dynamic Facebook Group, Young Wild & Freelance understands the essence of personal recruitment. We have an intimate understanding of the capabilities and availability of job seekers.
‍
Leveraging our extensive network, practical experience, and academic knowledge, we crafted the perfect solution: Young Wild & Freelance – a platform dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses alike by facilitating meaningful connections and fostering positive change. Young Wild & Freelance is your one-stop destination, and together, let's create something extraordinary.

Our team approaches work with joy every single day. No day, client, or job is the same, which fuels our enthusiasm to connect people with dedication and renewed vigor.
