Who we are:

YunoJuno’s beginnings are much like many other good ideas - born from a frustration of the manual process, its founders knew there had to be a better way.

We focus on the technology and creative sectors with over 7,000 clients such as Google, Deliveroo, Netflix and the BBC.

We understand that in order to maximise the potential of our employees, it is crucial for them to feel aligned with our brand, its mission and its unique value proposition. At YunoJuno, we have achieved impressive 40% Year-On-Year growth (100% post Covid) and currently boast £150m contract/freelancer spend under management, 90,000 specialist creative & tech freelancers in our Talent platform and driving towards a remarkable £500m spend under management by 2024.
