About Gigz
Built for workers. Powered by community.
Gigz Labs builds simple, practical apps that help people level up their skills, find work, and get things done - without the usual friction.
Why we exist
The on-demand world forgot the worker.
Staffing agencies promised wages - then pocketed the commission. Gig apps promised flexibility - then raced wages to the bottom. Workers got the worst end of both deals.
Gigz is the response. Honest pricing. No commissions on a worker’s hourly fee. 100% of tips go to the worker. Built for the people who actually do the work.
What we’re building
An on-demand labour marketplace.
Customers post instant or scheduled jobs and get matched with vetted, certified workers in their area. GigzLabs lets workers stack credentials and unlock higher-paying categories. GigzPool serves enterprise customers and partners.
Launching Q3 2026 in Durham Region. Rolling out across Canada from there.
Meet the founder
Built by someone who lived the problem.
Christopher Lamont
Founder & CEO
Chris spent a decade in hospitality, moving, and event ops before founding Gigz. He watched staffing agencies skim 30% off worker pay while customers waited days for confirmation. He saw certified bartenders unable to find shifts and shift managers unable to find certified bartenders - same city, same week.
Gigz Labs is the answer: a platform built by someone who knows the difference between a worker who shows up at 8 AM with the right tools and one who doesn’t.
Based in Durham, Ontario. Reach Chris directly at dev@gigz.ca.
