The unique proposition offers an industry first with an immediate payment after shifts and helps businesses source the best gig workers quickly and cost-effectively. The next-generation app allows firms to seamlessly manage their staff requirements, especially as the economy starts to bounce back from the global pandemic and more than 1.1 million jobs in the UK remain unfilled.

Certain sectors are finding it really hard to recruit local talent due to the ‘pingdemic’ and the economic bounce back and topping the list are logistics, warehousing, retail and hospitality with chefs among the most in-demand skill currently in the UK. The new app allows businesses to easily find local shift workers who match their specific criteria and even has a star rating so you can quickly source the most reliable staff. Currently, businesses have to use their own networks or expensive temp agencies who often can’t meet their specific requirements. TheJobApp offers a fully automated service managing tax and NI deductions, payroll and customer services and is, therefore, a much more cost-effective solution for all businesses in the UK.

The app also offers to pay shift workers immediately after their shifts which will not only increase motivation but also increase the demand for shift work, making it a much more attractive proposition and opening up opportunities to more demographics with the reward of instant cash. The increased demand will allow the recruiters on the app to handpick the best-matched staff for their shift knowing they will be keen to impress to ensure their salary is received immediately.

Lee Purvis, CEO at TheJobApp, commented, “We are delighted to be launching TheJobApp to help businesses across the UK with a cost-effective solution to source the best talent and also offering millions of shift workers the chance to earn a salary as soon as their shift finishes.

Having previously managed organisations with huge requirements for shift workers the founders of TheJobApp know first-hand the difficulty, problems and costs involved in filling these temporary positions and how critical finding the right staff is. Being the only solution to pay staff immediately we believe is a complete game changer and will benefit both the employees and the recruiters.”
