Giggle Work

Giggle Work Kft, operating as Giggle.hu, is a digital marketplace for hourly labor, established in 2022 by co-founders Ádám Birizdó and Ádám Sebestyén in Budapest, Hungary. The company functions as a two-sided platform connecting businesses experiencing temporary staffing shortages with individuals seeking flexible, short-term work. Its primary client base consists of companies in the hospitality, retail, and logistics sectors.

The business model is designed to address the inefficiencies of traditional recruitment for temporary roles. Companies can post open shifts for positions such as waiters, kitchen assistants, warehouse workers, and administrators, gaining access to a pool of pre-vetted workers, potentially within 24 hours. Giggle.hu operates on a success-fee basis, eliminating upfront advertising costs for businesses. For workers, the platform offers a transparent way to find and apply for shifts that fit their schedules, view pay rates, and read reviews of potential employers. After completing a shift, workers receive payment and a performance review, which helps build their profile for future opportunities.

The platform is accessible via a mobile application on both the Play Store and App Store. Co-founder Ádám Birizdó brings experience in developing digital products and consulting on agile transformations for large corporations from his time at McKinsey's Digital Studio. This background informs the platform's focus on creating a fluid and efficient labor market. The company has received investment from STRT Holding and harbors international ambitions. Following its establishment in Hungary, Giggle expanded its operations into Romania in early 2025, quickly attracting thousands of workers and dozens of employers.
