Finding temporary workers the traditional way is not a quick process. Finding workers with on-demand staffing apps can get businesses workers the next day. On-Demand staffing has the flexibility and control to work for any industry.
Whether it’s a fulfillment center needing temporary staff to meet seasonal demands, a warehouse needing a constant flow of temp workers, an event company just needing caterers and servers for a single night, or just a business in need of general labor, on-demand staffing apps can get shifts done.
1. Assess your Staffing Needs
Before problems can be solved, they need to be identified. Take a deep look at your business workload and peak periods. Determining the specific roles and number of general labor workers needed. Once you know the specifics of what you need you’ll be better able to find a temporary staffing solution that fits.
2. Choose the Right On-Demand Staffing App
When looking for an on-demand temporary staffing solution there are a few things to be looking for. The first is an app that is user friendly and has reachable customer support. Having access to real time help will give you confidence in your staffing solution.
Bacon has dedicated customer support reps who are available to reach online or in person. Test out how responsive support will be before you start using the app.
The next feature to look at for an on-demand staffing app is flexibility. Look at how much control the service provides. Businesses on the Bacon platform choose when the shifts are worked, how many workers are needed, and how much the workers are paid.
3. Set Up a Business Account on the Staffing App
After choosing the temporary staffing platform it’s time to set up an account. Create and verify your business account. Finally, create a shift. The Bacon platform utilizes templates to make creating multiple shifts quick and easy. You can quickly create a shift for one day, or multiple days, or long-term shifts. Pick the number of general labor workers needed, the dates and times you need them, and the workers’ wages.
4. Post a Shift and Workers Find you
Once a shift is posted, it’s pushed out to the platform where thousands of workers have the ability to apply to the shift. Workers can see the time and estimated wage on the posted shifts and choose the ones they are interested in. Because workers are in control of their own schedules, they are more likely to show up to the shift. Because of this flexibility Bacon's average fill rate is over 90%.
Businesses then review the workers who have applied by looking at ratings and reviews on the worker’s profile. Businesses have the control over choosing the workers they want to work the shifts.
5.Optimize Your On-Demand Workforce
The more you utilize an on-demand staffing app, the more you can optimize your temporary staffing. On Bacon you can build up a favorites list of workers who’ve worked for you before and that do a good job. With the favorites list you can create shifts and send it directly to workers you already know and like.
On-demand staffing gives businesses more control and flexibility over temporary staffing. With Bacon, businesses have the ability to operate efficiently while getting the general labor they need.
