Coople

Coople is Europe's largest on-demand staffing platform, connecting workers with companies in the hospitality, retail, aviation, and logistics sectors. It operates heavily in Switzerland and the UK. Coople acts as the legal employer, ensuring that all workers receive holiday pay, social security contributions, and insurance coverage.

The app allows workers ("Cooplers") to filter jobs by location, pay, and time, effectively building their own schedule. It uses an algorithm to match worker skills with employer needs instantly. It is a legitimate and highly regulated platform that bridges the gap between freelancing flexibility and employee security.
