- Working closely with the engineering team to improve the Shiftsmart platform to encourage loyalty and retention of Shiftsmart partners

- Continue to develop new and better ways to use the platform to attract and retain quality partners
- Manage employees in their use of analytical tools like Google Sheets, SQL, and additional resources to gather and analyze data to develop insights and inform decisions
- Analyze outcomes, often daily, and triage issues, taking action where possible and escalating when required
- Success will be measured against the required quota of new partners graduating into the regular supply base on a daily or weekly basis
- You will manage a team, helping them prioritize and execute and working side-by-side with them as need to achieve the company’s outcomes
Our take
Labor force participation is at an all-time low in the United States, and companies across the board are struggling to combat the shortfall. Shiftsmart’s solution is a dynamic labor marketplace, matching workers on their platform to temporary gigs, and helping companies fill gaps without committing to, or having to attract, full-time talent.
Shiftsmart’s network of over 1.2 million workers serves big-name enterprises like Google, HP, Apple, and Levi’s, and is part of a growing industry of staffing solutions for hourly workers that have been seeing big VC investments over recent years. Driven by the gig economy becoming more normalized and demand for flexible hours increasing, Shiftsmart saw its revenue increase by nearly 400%, and they put this success down to a competitively unique business model that sees more control being put in the hands of workers and employers alike. They have now done work in over 57 countries, and are operating tens of thousands of shifts each week.
Some user feedback suggests the company still has some kinks to iron out on their platform, with multiple complaints about delayed or missing payments. But with thousands of successful, efficient job placements found over the last few years, Shiftsmart are making strides in an area that looks set to remain in high demand.
