HireApp

HireApp became a member of the International Warehouse Logistics Association, the ONLY trade association representing warehouse-based third-party logistics (3PL) providers across North America (Canada and the US). With 500+ members, IWLA is an ideal place for HireApp to be and network, as we plan in Q2 2025 to take an active role in their largest annual convention & expo in Tuscon (AZ) in May. IWLA represents a “watering hole” for our potential customers, as they: ☑️ organize highly specialized events and webinars,  ☑️ actively help their members network,  ☑️ push news and updates on their members to their owned channels, ☑️ and have excellent relations with specialized, credible media in our space. In 2025, we look forward to having a more substantial brand presence in the warehouse and logistics space, adding an in-person layer to our existing relationships and forging new ones.

📣 NEWS 📣 With HireApp, it now takes a few minutes instead of hours to complete "timesheet reconciliation" for #3PL. In my last post https://lnkd.in/e3gndMRm I introduced a typical pen and paper timesheet that most legacy warehouses still use. Today, I'll share how we digitized it and introduced live invoices and live timesheets that should eliminate: ✅  (in time) the need for double data entry on the company’s side, ✅ “time theft” by introducing a geo-location-based timestamp for PRO’s clock-in instead of chicken scratch on a piece of paper that may or may not mean anything. In most companies, it takes someone from HR or accounting at least an hour or more per day to reconcile the time difference and ensure the proper worker data is in the records. If not done right, it snowballs and puts a wrench in: 🚫 our clients getting paid by their clients, 🚫 and PROs getting paid for their work. This becomes a big issue, as lagging payments disrupt the ongoing service provision, a top priority for everyone in the value chain. By introducing digital timesheets and live invoices, we: ☑️ minimized the chances of making or not catching mistakes, ☑️ and reduced the time needed to complete this process to several minutes daily. Our long-term goal is to eliminate the need for paper records by keeping all the data on all employees (PTL and FTL) in our system, but that’s a story for another time. We released this feature for some clients in December ‘24, getting the first positive reviews. I look forward to seeing how this seemingly simple solution impacts our customers' businesses, and I will share data as we progress.

#2024 recap: It has been all hands on deck in Q3 and Q4 in HireApp. Hardcore #FounderMode. A teammate said I should compile a list of accomplishments to gain perspective as the year ends. I have no idea what day it is, let alone reflect. But a recap is appropriate. Here are the nine things I feel comfortable publicly discussing: 1️⃣ We became the first tech staffing solution to obtain Avetta certification ↳ https://lnkd.in/dWMpnUM7 2️⃣ Due to working with a global e-commerce leader, we integrated Accurate Background check in-app ↳ https://lnkd.in/d83MCEMt 3️⃣ We used robotization of blue-collar labor to our advantage (Hi, Optimus 👋) ↳ https://lnkd.in/de5ZFW5q 4️⃣ We obtained the first positive testimonials from clients in new industries ↳ https://lnkd.in/d3msKq7j 5️⃣ We put food on the tables of entire families ↳ https://lnkd.in/dtmQ5KMR 6️⃣ We found novel ways to profit from the hospitality industry ↳ https://lnkd.in/dqS8qckx 7️⃣ We helped a client land a BIG client ↳ https://lnkd.in/dV9W63sy 8️⃣ We now offer jobs across the country (not just Miami and NYC) ↳ https://lnkd.in/ddYJ5uCB 9️⃣ We are verifying PROs to work in minutes with AI ↳ https://lnkd.in/dRwd6jcu (bonus)  We are working on a new product idea ↳ 🤫 Now that I've made this list, I feel better about our progress, but I still think about what's ahead of us. A founder can't afford to look back, only forward. 🫡

The new HireApp website is live! 🎉 This year was a real rollercoaster for us. We had a big pivot and switched focus to several new industries, such as #3PL, #lightindustrial, #logistics, and #warehousing. Not all of our hard work can be reflected in something as simple as a new website, but with this latest version, our presence reflects our main successes in Q3 and Q4 2024, and it is up to date with our vision for the future.

HireApp launched a few-minute-long AI-powered job position verification process. 🎉 Did you know a janitor needs four in-person interviews before starting work at a facility? We asked ourselves: “What is the point if we are making it HARDER for people to get work?” That's why HireApp launched an “AI assessment” feature. It takes a few minutes to vet PROs and ensure they meet the position qualification criteria. PROs can now apply for any number of shifts and get feedback almost instantly. ↳ PROs start working faster. ↳ The risk of human error is reduced to zero. ↳ Our team can focus on more complex tasks. This significant improvement is only a tiny part of HireApp V 3.0, a complete app overhaul we will launch to increase the quality of our user experience and our company’s capital efficiency.

Biloxi (Mississippi) and Kiawah Island (South Carolina) are not exactly booming metropolises, yet HireApp is running projects in both. We helped our clients get started with less than 72 hours of notice! This is a proud moment for us at HireApp. Our clients really need us to fill shifts in obscure, local markets, and that's what we do best! It's amazing that only six months ago, most of our shifts were in Miami, FL, and NYC, NY. By gaining a nationwide presence, we hedged risks for our business and democratized access to work opportunities. Now, we can put extra cash in the hands of locals who want to do honest day work. How's that for motivation to come to the office and say: "Happy Monday!"
