Overcoming Staffing Headaches with the JobStack App

Finding the right temporary workers for your business can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. From sifting through countless resumes to navigating tricky onboarding processes, these challenges can significantly slow down your operations and impact your bottom line.

To address these challenges, PeopleReady recently released the next gen of our JobStack app to simplify staffing and improve efficiency. Pairing this tool with the expertise of our local market teams puts your business on a path to success.

Here are four ways the JobStack app helps businesses solve their staffing challenges:

1. Fill open shifts fast

It’s the start of a busy workday and just as things are ramping up, a key team member calls out unexpectedly. Workloads pile up, deadlines get pushed and the team scrambles to cover the gap. Managers are left juggling schedules instead of focusing on critical tasks, and productivity takes a hit. Without a fast and reliable way to fill shifts, these last-minute disruptions can create a ripple effect that impacts operations, customer service and overall efficiency.

That’s one reason app-based technologies – like our JobStack for Business app – are emerging as highly effective staffing tools. To further optimize staffing for our customers, JobStack now comes with ReadyMatch™ technology to instantly match job requirements with a pool of best-fit workers. And to help ensure fast fill rates, the Instant Accept feature allows pre-qualified workers to accept jobs with a single tap.

2. Builds a reliable, qualified temporary workforce

Maintaining a consistent pool of temporary workers isn’t just about filling shifts—it’s about ensuring quality, reliability and efficiency. Traditional in-house staffing methods often fall short, struggling to scale with demand and requiring time-consuming verification processes that drain resources and slow down operations

This is where the right staffing provider with the latest technology can make all the difference. With PeopleReady’s JobStack app, businesses gain access to an ever-growing network of qualified workers. JobStack doesn’t just help you find workers fast—it helps you build a trusted talent pool by remembering your top-rated workers and allowing you to quickly invite top performers back.

3. Streamlines time management and administrative burdens

Managing temporary staffing for your business in-house means balancing time tracking, payroll and ever-changing compliance requirements—all while keeping operations running smoothly. Without the right staffing partner and tools, these administrative burdens can quickly become overwhelming and lead to other inefficiencies and compliance risks.

JobStack simplifies these tasks through features like in-app timekeeping, shift management, worker invites and ratings. Streamlining these administrative responsibilities, businesses can reduce complexity and focus on driving results.

Plus, all workers in PeopleReady’s network are W-2 and E-Verified, further mitigating risk for your business. PeopleReady handles all the paperwork, so you don’t have to.

4. Provides support from real people right when you need it

If you’re in charge staffing for your organization, you’ll more than likely be faced with a question or challenge that requires help or intervention from a local team member.

However, finding that level of support from app-based staffing companies can be challenging—if not impossible.

That’s why PeopleReady offers support that goes beyond the screen—real people to provide help when you need it most. We combine innovative technology with a nationwide network of local staffing experts in all 50 states. With over 35 years of staffing expertise, we’re here to help businesses navigate challenges and deliver solutions that truly make a difference.
