If there was a way to scale your business without the heavy lifting, would you want to know about it? If yes, consider what a tech-enabled staffing solution could do for your bottom line.
Rather than traditional staffing, tech-enabled job marketplaces are an all-in-one solution that makes finding workers less labor-intensive, more cost-effective, and provides enough flexibility to fulfill last-minute needs if they arise.
Whether you have a high volume of jobs to fill, don't have the capacity to implement the scalable processes you need, or struggle to navigate labor shortages and keep up with demand, using a tech-enabled solution can help you scale your team, your revenue and your resources — better than traditional solutions. And this is how.
Scale operations
Sometimes, new business opportunities or new changes to the market mean you need to scale your operations. Sometimes, a labor budget wasn’t approved in the past, but now it is, and you have a job to fill.
And sometimes, you simply can’t find the quality talent you want at the rate you need from other staffing solutions. With tech-enabled solutions, you can meet expected and unexpected staffing demands with talent that is ready to work, allowing you to strategically scale at your desired pace.
And while sourcing a worker in 24 hours with a traditional staffing agency or even on a job board is unheard of, with an online job marketplace platform, it’s possible to fill jobs with quality talent in as little as 1.5 minutes. Whether you’re scaling your business for a large event or opening up thirty new locations, a digital solution can help you fill in the gaps and maximize fill rates by tapping into a consistent supply of workers.
With a reputable tech-enabled solution, you can also rest assured that you’re sourcing from a quality talent pool, allowing you to bring in the right talent with less risk. Why avoid having to delay a new opening or declining new business because of a labor shortage when you can grow your business at scale with a tech-enabled solution?
Scale revenue
Finding workers can be expensive, true. But what’s also true is that tech-enabled solutions make the process more cost-effective. For one, we all know time is money, and streamlining this process allows business decision-makers to focus on operational responsibilities rather than tedious tasks, saving time and driving KPIs. In some cases, using a tech-enabled solution could save businesses 18 hours per week by handling placement processes. (That nets to 198 hours a year, on average!)
Beyond time, tech-enabled solutions also result in tangible savings. Some businesses who’ve leveraged these solutions have seen it allow them to connect with more workers at half the cost of traditional solutions. For others, optimizing in this way reduced costs by 75%. And for businesses more interested in temp-to-perm, there could be even more savings to collect.
These numbers and other revenue-driving metrics are visible to you 24/7. Rather than getting reports from traditional agencies, tech-enabled solutions allow you to track fill rates, pull reports and analyze data in real-time across locations nationwide — giving you visibility to make sound business decisions.
Scale resources
Tech-enabled solutions give time back to your team and provide them with more resources to work with. From posting to editing to canceling job postings when necessary to alleviate the burdensome tasks of screening and interviewing, valuable time and resources can be saved.
Tech-enabled solutions are available 24/7, so you can post and update jobs right when needed (even within 2 minutes using templates), keep up with customers and meet project deadlines. With tech-enabled platforms, filling jobs could go from days or weeks to a few minutes. And doing so can increase productivity while easing overtaxed teams.
Though it’s digital, tech-enabled solutions don't skimp on human touch, either. With solid customer support, you access professionals with market intel on growth trends, local earnings data and performance metrics tailored to your needs and interests. Support can also assist with administrative tasks, such as approving completed jobs and adjusting payments and hours for ongoing jobs, all within business guidance. And this support is all on-demand.
What’s at scale?
What’s at scale, or rather, at stake by not using a tech-enabled solution? It’s overworked and unproductive teams struggling to fill jobs. It’s missed business opportunities. It’s a lack of analytics on why the heck your fill rate is what it is. It’s the difference between strategically scaling or struggling to keep up. It’s untapped talent sources and untapped savings.
