About us
The people & mission behind the PEP software
Operational planning for the promotions industry
Our vision
We see the opportunity for a future world of work in which we all love our jobs and therefore rock. And we believe that the time is ripe to supplement rigid working relationships with more genuinely flexible work. We envision a world in which employees can flexibly arrange their workload according to their stage and situation in life, giving them more freedom to choose when, where, how often and for which employer they work. Employers should be able to assign work flexibly according to their needs, drawing on a pool of their own employees but also simply finding new people who are interested in flexible work assignments.
Our mission
job.rocks stands for a new era of work flexibility that combines motivated employees and the best company results. We bridge the gap between the flexible needs of employees and the fluctuating requirements of companies.
Our intuitive SaaS solution gives employers the opportunity to build up their own employee pool and deploy staff according to their skills and availability. In return, employees are given the freedom to organize their working hours flexibly. So everyone can live and rock their jobs with passion.
Interview with the founders
It is no coincidence that Florian Bodenmann and Fabio Donnaloia developed the online platform job.rocks together. Florian, a business IT specialist, and Fabio, a former Swiss managing director of the CPM promotion agency, know both the personnel market and the digital possibilities in this area like the back of their hands.

How did you actually come up with the idea of developing an online portal for event job planning and placement?
Fabio
As the managing director of a large promotion agency, I spent more than five years looking for software that would cover the entire administrative process of personnel planning, from recruitment to payroll accounting. It was always clear to me that with the right system we could work around 5-20% more efficiently internally.
Florian
I wanted to solve a real problem for my master's thesis and that's how I came up with staff scheduling software. I conducted around 20 interviews, including with Fabio, who was looking for software in this area. The project then became more and more comprehensive and now we have a very flexible solution at the start, where employers can freely choose their modules depending on their needs.
If you were running an event location or offering an event service, why would you use job.rocks for your personnel planning in the future?
Fabio
Working with job.rocks is fun and the operation is very intuitive, which is something we attached great importance to during development. Thanks to job.rocks, employees in planning and recruitment can spend more time for and with customers and employees. Instead of emails, lists, WhatsApp, software and a phone, all they need now is job.rocks and a phone.
Florian
In addition, job.rocks does not incur any costs when you are not using the software. So you pay for the tool when you need it and have no other expenses.
Assuming that your platform is not purely non-profit in nature, how and where do you actually earn your money with job.rocks?
Florian
job.rocks works with a freemium model, i.e. many functions and also a marketplace through which employees can be recruited - are effectively free of charge. The other modules offer so many advantages that you don't want to do without them.
Fabio
In addition to the free marketplace for employees and employers, we also offer the software for shift planning as an extension, which we charge for each job processed. You can also simply register to use this extension, which is free of charge. Costs are only incurred if you then also work with the deployment planning. In addition, companies that do not want to hire their temporary staff themselves can also outsource this to us.
Finally, a look into the future: what is your vision for job.rocks, where do you want your platform to be in five years' time?
Fabio
In five years' time, we want to be the first port of call in Switzerland for all those who want to work flexibly for different employers, when they want and where they want.
Florian
The benefits for employers will be correspondingly great - they will find an ever-larger pool of employees and will be able to deploy them themselves.
