Reasons to Invest
- Addressing an inefficient system
Finding the right worker – or the right job – can take weeks or months. Rockt replaces traditional recruitment processes with real-time connection through our mobile platform. During our testing phase, we have built a user base of 2,000+ and refined our technology based on market feedback. Matches have been made in timeframes ranging from hours to days, compared to the industry standard of weeks to months. - Supporting regional Australia
Regional businesses across agriculture, mining, and other sectors face ongoing workforce challenges. Rockt is built with regional and rural communities in mind, providing infrastructure that connects employers with workers efficiently. This regional-first approach establishes a foundation for national and international expansion. - Expanding access to opportunity
Job seekers can access opportunities across seasonal, casual, full time and volunteer work through a mobile interface. The platform puts job discovery directly in users’ hands, removing the barriers of desktop-only solutions and lengthy application processes. - Built for modern work patterns
Rockt reflects current workforce behaviours: mobile-first, transparent and fast. Our platform includes safety features such as video capability, enabling employers (such as farms) to provide virtual site tours within their profile. This allows job seekers to assess the workplace, understand the role, and evaluate the environment before committing – particularly important for remote or rural positions. - Scalable technology platform
What begins in regional communities is designed to scale. Rockt is being developed as an agile recruitment platform with architecture that allows for expansion as user numbers grow. Initially focused on addressing seasonal workforce needs in Australian agriculture, the platform’s design supports broader application across industries and geographies.
Introduction
We put Katy Perry in a rocket, but we’re still using an 18th century system to find work.
The problem
Recruitment is broken. The traditional recruitment model – advertise a role, collect CVs, wait, do a screening call, then wait some more, then maybe do an interview (or two) – was designed for a desktop world that no longer exists. For businesses that need workers quickly, and job seekers who want to find work without weeks of waiting, the current system creates significant friction on both sides.
The solution
Rockt is a mobile-first recruitment platform operating as a two-sided marketplace. Employers and job seekers virtual CV’s or shop fronts in their profiles, set their criteria, and the platform facilitates direct connection – without the need for customised cover letters or tailored CV submissions. Matches have already been made in hours and days – not weeks and months. Video capability enables both parties to assess fit before committing, supporting more informed hiring decisions. The app has been built to support the hiring process from start to finish – you can even undertake your interviews via video chat within Rockt.
The market
Rockt’s initial focus is on industries facing documented labour shortages – agriculture, mining, hospitality and construction – starting in regional Australia where workforce challenges are most acute. The global recruitment and staffing sector is valued at approximately USD$640-$860 billion annually (*https://workwell-global.com 2025) and continues to grow as digital transformation of hiring accelerates.
The business model
Rockt is designed to generate revenue through monthly employer subscriptions, in-app profile boost, featured job promotions, and digital advertising. The platform is structured as a SaaS marketplace, where increased user numbers are intended to strengthen marketplace value for all participants. As with all early-stage businesses, revenue generation is subject to successful execution of the company’s growth strategy.
Traction to date
Rockt has built a functional platform, acquired 2,000+ users during its testing phase, and raised $330,000+ in capital to date, including government funding. We’ve begun early turnover and are confident that the app is now ready to take to the world.
This raise
Rockt is seeking to raise $1.2million to fund:
- Technology development, including voice activation capabilities
- A targeted marketing campaign to grow the user base
- Expanded operational capacity to support anticipated growth
This is an early-stage investment opportunity. Investing in early-stage companies carries significant risk, including the potential loss of capital. Prospective investors should read the full Offer Document, including the Key Risks section, and consider seeking independent financial advice before investing.
Rockt is addressing a real and documented problem in a substantial global market. We invite you to consider joining us on this journey.
The Problem
It’s a regular conversation to have with a job hunter that they are making the job search their new career. At the same time, key industries are short staffed and find it difficult to attract and retain workers. The traditional recruitment sector isn’t focussed on efficiency, it’s focused on its own sustainability.
This approach presents several challenges:
- Time intensive processes that don’t suit roles requiring rapid fills (shift work, seasonal contracts, casual roles)
- High costs for employers, particularly small and medium businesses
- Limited transparency for job seekers, who often receive automated responses or no feedback
- Desktop-centric workflows that don’t align with mobile-first user behaviour
- Safety and verification concerns when recruitment occurs via unregulated social media channels
- Compliance risks in sectors such as agriculture and horticulture, where workplace standards are under increasing scrutiny
For mobile workers, job seekers with immediate availability, and businesses facing urgent staff needs, the traditional model creates friction rather than facilitating connection.
The Solution
Rockt is a mobile-first recruitment platform operating as a two-sided marketplace.
Both employers and job seekers create profiles that function as virtual shopfronts – showcasing businesses or skillsets through text, video and images. The platform facilitates direct connection between parties based on location, availability, hourly wage and other relevant criteria.
Key features include:
- Profile based matching: Users set search criteria and the platform surfaces relevant opportunities or candidates
- Video capability: Enables richer communication – employers can showcase workplaces and culture, job seekers can present skills and personality
- Multiple search parameters: Location, availability, wage, role type
- Flexible role types: Full time, part time, casual, seasonal, shift work, volunteer positions
- Rating system: Builds reputation profiles for both employers and workers
- Profile pause function: Users can rest their profile when not actively recruiting or job seeking
The platforms AI-enhanced matching technology is designed to reduce time-to-hire and improve connection quality between employers and candidates.
Rockt is built for rapid uplift!
The Industry
The global market opportunity
- The global recruitment and staffing industry is currently valued at approx. USD $640-860 billion (2025)
- Forecasts indicate continued growth toward USD$1 trillion+ in coming years, driven by digital hiring platforms, global workforce mobility and persistent skills shortages
- This represents a significant opportunity for technology-enabled solutions that improved efficiency and user experience
The need for digital transformation
- While many industries have undergone digital transformation, recruitment remains largely reliant on traditional job board models where candidates must tailor and submit individual applications
- Rockt’s approach differs by bringing opportunities to both employers and job seekers based on their profile and search criteria, rather than requiring repeated manual applications
- The platform enables all recruitment activities to occur on mobile devices, removing the requirement for desktop access
Addressing market fragmentation
- Current recruitment solutions are often fragmented by industry or geography, creating challenges for job seekers navigating multiple platforms
- International workers seeking safe and reliable employment face particular difficulties in verifying opportunities
- Rockt is designed as a unified platform that can serve multiple industries and geographies while maintaining verification standards.
Competitive Advantage

Market position and differentiation
Most established platforms continue to operate on traditional job board models requiring:

Rockt’s differentiation is based on:

- Real-time matching: Profile based connection rather than one-way application submission, reducing time to hire to just days (and sometimes hours!) compared to weeks or months
- Regional focus: Initial market entry targets regional and rural workforce challenges, an underserved segment experiencing acute labour shortages
- Integrated workflow: Complete recruitment process – posting, matching, interviewing and onboarding – all within a single platform
- Safety and verification: Structured platform approach addresses safety concerns associated with recruitment via unregulated social media channels.
Platform flexibility across industries
During testing phase, different sectors valued specific features:

- Agriculture: Video tours of farms, accommodation, and locations before candidates travel to remote areas
- General: Visual profiles using video/photo content that reflect modern communication preferences
Development approach
Our technology has been developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and is built with scalable architecture that can expand as user numbers and feature requirements grow.

Key Risks
Investment in early-stage technology companies carries inherent risks. Prospective investors should consider the following:
Market adoption risk: Rockt’s success depends on achieving sufficient adoptions from both employers and job seekers. The platform requires critical mass on both sides of the marketplace to deliver value. There is no guarantee that target users will adopt the platform at the rate or scale required for commercial viability.
Competition from established players: The recruitment sector includes well-established companies. These competitors may develop similar functionality or leverage their scale to maintain market position.
Technology development risk: Rockt’s platform continues to evolve and requires ongoing development. There is risk that technical challenges may arise, development may take longer or cost more than anticipated.
Early stage investment is high-risk and illiquid. Investors should not invest funds they cannot afford to lose and should seek independent financial advice before investing.
