HireApp

🎉 NEWS 🎉 HireApp x Accurate Background integration! In early October, our team completed the integration of this background check solution for workers into our platform. The purpose of this integration is twofold: 1️⃣ New business - We already see how onboarding this new vendor is opening doors for us, as the results of their background check are widely requested and accepted by the most prominent players in our target industries. 2️⃣ Better UX for PROs—Parallel to this, we have launched an update to the user experience for our PROs during background checks. This seamless integration means our PROs are in-app throughout the process, start to finish, getting just the result (pass/fail) without additional data that might confuse them. We have a couple more updates in the pipeline, and we will discuss them as they come to fruition. 

Do you think robots will eliminate blue-collar jobs? Here is a $150,000,000 labor opportunity they created. (HireApp is capitalizing on it as we speak.) Context ↳ One of our new customers is a company that runs an enormous robotized warehouse with vertical pallets (like the ones in the image below). The warehouse is huge. For efficiency's sake, flat and low robots have replaced humans in fetching those pallets, lifting them, and carrying them to the workstations where people stand. Problem ↳ The problem with these robots is the sole reason why they are so helpful—their speed. When they move, they move fast. Because of the sudden movement, they are heavily impacted by so-called G-forces. (That means items tend to fall out of pallets when the robot stops or starts moving.) This a disaster for multiple reasons: 1️⃣  Price of goods destroyed. (direct cost) 2️⃣  The robot has to stop and wait for human assistance. (opportunity cost) 3️⃣  The whole area, maybe even the warehouse, is blocked until humans clean up. (HUGE opportunity cost) DIY solution ↳ Do you know what the current solution is? Rubbers around the pallets. But, there is a problem with the DIY solution: ↳ Rubber wears out. When it does, it has to be replaced. @HireApp PROs do that. It sounds absurd, but it makes perfect sense: Robots have led to an entirely new type of work. Our client pays hundreds of millions annually to replace the rubbers in their warehouses. Now, imagine how many scenarios like this one exist, where robot technology promises but can’t deliver. Do you still think blue-collar jobs will die out? Evolution is more likely.

We recently helped a large company from Arizona 🇺🇸 tackle its massive contingent labor pain point. Our team worked around the clock to make it happen, and the lead decision-maker (Senior Project Manager) commended us. When we say that we are a small but mighty team, available 24/7 when our customers need us, we mean that. Dedication, hard work, and reliability go a long way in this industry. That’s why “it's rare to find a team as dedicated as yours" is the best feedback HireApp could have received. 

The fact that HireApp can put food on the tables of entire families and that they trust us enough to be their only income source in this economy makes our team very proud. Today, we share the story of such a case: Alis, Raul, Billy, Franco, Anderson, and Enaldo are a family from Baltimore. This is their story, told by the matriarch of the family, Alis (48): “I am Alis, a mother of four children and a grandmother of six. HireApp helped my husband, my two sons, my son-in-law, his brother, and me work more than 40 hours to meet our goals, which was the best thing ever happening to us. Since we work 11-hour shifts, 6 days a week, working on the same projects has been a blessing. We can use only one car to get to work and enjoy our meals together, like a family. Our work commute is only 20 minutes long, and we don’t spend hours in transit like we used to. Before working with HireApp, we worked in stadiums, food preparation, etc. Our manager at another company, Rick, told us about this opportunity. We trusted him, so we tried it. So far, we like the HireApp platform. It’s easy to use, and we never had problems getting paid for our work. We prefer weekly payments, and we are always paid on time. We are grateful for Rick's support and recommendation, and we do our best every day because we don’t want to make him look bad. We trust that HireApp will regularly pay us for our work, so we decided to let it be our only income source. Even my daughter is applying to join us!”

🎉 NEWS 🎉 HireApp is Avetta compliant! We have been working lately on ensuring our customers and prospects know we are not some fly-by-night staffing app but a credible partner. Becoming an Avetta Premier member is an important step in that direction. It's a vote of confidence for our decision-makers in #logistics because it guarantees that HireApp meets the safety, sustainability, and regulatory standards required by the biggest players in this game. Vetting is an important part of our job, too, so we understand how powerful a signal of being "safe to work with" can be, especially if it comes from a reputable source. We know that obtaining an Avetta certificate is only one step in communicating that how we do business will put our customer's minds at ease. More on other steps we are taking in this direction soon.

As of today, HireApp is working on leveraging #AI to improve our verification process and lower manual inputs. It will help us cut our verification time per PRO by 90% & learn about new customers we partnered with two months ago 👇 We are very proud of our support team for carefully vetting our PROs. By analyzing their workflow, we pinpointed key aspects of the process that AI can help with: 👉 Identify underlying skills our PROs are unaware of, giving us data we did not have before. 👉 Gather and analyze additional data sets to improve the matching algorithm further. This helps HireApp even further increase the precision and speed of the matching process for our customers.

HireApp helped one of our customers land a "whale client." 🐳👇 This June, our new customer was given just ONE floor of a massive property in New Orleans 🇺🇸 to work on. They used our PROs to deliver and install #FFE. Together, we performed so well our customer landed the whole contract!  Since we helped our customer prove themselves to their client on a small scope, they will leverage our PROs for the rest of the project. As our customer stands to get more projects from the client, our flexibility in meeting their demand proves how building rapport and trust by delivering on promises in a small scope opens big doors. Can you see us helping you open some doors, too? Let’s hop on Teams to discuss on-demand labor and how to make it happen.

Meet our PRO, Joseph, from Miami. 🇺🇸 (Originally from Peru 🇵🇪) He has worked 401 shifts so far; this is how HireApp provides him with security so he can pursue entrepreneurship!👇 "In Peru 🇵🇪, back home, I helped my dad launch a course for mining engineers in 2015. I was in charge of marketing and social media, which went well. I automated it and left for the States. 🇺🇸 Most of us come to the United States because life here is better. Even with minimal-wage jobs, you can afford to lead a good life. It's not a great one, but you can pay rent and bills, go out, and live comfortably. In other countries, you can barely make it to the bank. I am no different. When I got here, I worked full-time in a hotel. When my boss moved to Fountainbleau, he said: "Hey, I'm looking for people. Why don't you join HireApp, and I can contact you? You get to pick your shifts." So I tried it. I loved it. Ultimately, I preferred HireApp to a full-time job, so I switched. People think you can't do it, but it can be done. Most people use HireApp to find a job that they are happy with and stick to it. Or they use it as a supplement to their full-time job. For me, it was different. As of today, I have worked between 10-12 different places in Miami Beach. Working with restaurants and multiple businesses with HireApp helped me meet the owners and managers, learn how they think, understand their problems, and see that I can use social media marketing here, too. I opened my social media agency, Go Digital. As the business grew, I started diminishing my time with Hireapp. Now, HireApp helps with the bills while I have my own thing growing. It's perfectly balanced right now. I love that shifts keep popping up on HireApp, so if I need the money, I feel secure HireApp will be there."

HireApp helped Cleopatra have more family time and attend church on Sundays! 📍Meet our PRO from Palm Beach, Florida 🇺🇸 who has completed 260+ shifts with us. This is her story 👇 "I go to church. ⛪ From the get-go, I told the HireApp team I don't want to work Sundays because I attend church and spend time with my family. And they said... No problem. All my life, I worked so much. When I got home, all I wanted to do was sleep. 😴 I never got to enjoy my younger years... Before HireApp, I always worked full-time in the culinary field in hotels and restaurants. As I got older, I realized the importance of family time, my time, and having a balanced life overall. My sister lives 15 minutes away from me. Sunday is the day we see each other and do things. Also, I finally have the time to dedicate to my catering business. HireApp provides a steady income during the low seasons. I can work consistently at one location as I would with a full-time job, but with HireApp, I can choose my shifts and create a schedule that fits my lifestyle. With HireApp, I finally have "me time." So far, so good."

Meet our PRO, Gerald, from Miami. 🇺🇸 He worked 486 shifts (and counting). Here is a story of how HireApp helped him become a "Master of his own time." In his own words 🙂 👇 "HireApp enables me to manage my time. I don't have to compromise. For example, I visited my family in Washington, D.C., a while ago. I just decided to go and did not pick any shifts. That's it. Compared to a full-time job, I can choose when to go on vacation. My success depends on me, and that is a good thing. If you are a good worker, you can prosper. I did. I remember my first shift as a beach attendant in 2022, like yesterday. I had never tried an app like this before. But I figured out how to use it quickly. The instructions were clear, and the support was friendly. Before HireApp, I had only two jobs. In Washington, D.C., I worked at a Mexican restaurant. The weather was pretty bad in Washington. I decided to move to Miami and try something new. I learned from another PRO, Julieta, about HireApp when I arrived. I started working and never stopped! I made many friends by working with HireApp. I even lived for a year with several PROS I met through HireApp. Many of us became friends and spent time outside working together, going out, and playing football. Well, soccer, but back home, we call it football. ⚽ PROs from HireApp helped me upskill, too. Ronald P. has over 1194 shifts completed, and he helped me learn how to do different jobs. I respect and like him because he helped me be better. I also like working different jobs and being diverse. HireApp has been my sole source of income since Oct 17th, 2022. I did not try other apps; I stuck to HireApp because I like it. It's different from staffing agencies. They take 20% and pay bi-weekly. With HireApp, you get what you see and are paid weekly. It's fair."
