JobStack: Putting work within reach

PeopleReady\\\'s JobStack app is a groundbreaking integrated solution connecting people and work anytime, anywhere.

During the pandemic, job seekers had a greater need for temporary work, and businesses were navigating unprecedented territory; JobStack becomes even more vital in connecting them. Fifty-one percent of those taking temporary jobs in 2020 experienced job loss, and 85% of companies report increasing their usage of staffing apps to find workers during the pandemic. Now, as we emerge from the economic downturn, workers are slow to return to the traditional workforce and the types of full-time jobs they lost during the pandemic, leaving 14 million jobs unfilled for a month or longer and businesses struggling to meet consumer demand. JobStack is a crucial way and a critical tool to help address the pressing national workforce issue as workers look for more flexibility and businesses look for immediate workforces. A January PeopleReady survey showed the number of people considering full-time work decreased 34%, while those considering part-time jobs increased by 27%, and those looking toward temporary jobs grew by nearly 50%.

Many companies (40%) are making temporary jobs a permanent part of their post-pandemic workforce model. In the past year, 52% of companies have increased their use of temporary workers and cited the need to scale their workforce as the top reason.

Upon completing PeopleReady\\\'s virtual onboarding, job seekers can use JobStack to view assignments tailored to their skills, location, and schedule. Workers are paid quickly and can update their profile to broaden their job options as they gain new skills. More than 26,000 clients and over 90% of PeopleReady\\\'s associates (workers) use JobStack, which has filled over 10 million shifts since its inception.

JobStack creates a best-in-class user experience by immediately connecting employers with qualified talent 24/7. Customers complete job orders from any mobile device within minutes, connect with almost 50,000 workers daily and see orders fill in real-time. In addition, PeopleReady\\\'s matching technology ensures only qualified, verified workers see jobs relevant to them. JobStack also allows companies to submit hours, rate worker performance, and invite top performers back.
