Charleston’s New Hiring Platform: ShiftNow
In the vibrant city of Charleston, a new wave is hitting the hospitality industry! Local entrepreneur David Wise has jumped into the game with his second startup, ShiftNow, which officially launched at the end of 2022. This innovative hiring platform is turning up the heat by catering specifically to shift workers in the booming hospitality sector.
Creating Profiles for Shift Workers
Wondering how the magic happens? ShiftNow is designed to assist servers, hosts, cooks, and other key players in the hospitality scene by allowing them to easily create tailored profiles. These profiles showcase their skills and experiences, giving potential employers a clear understanding of what each worker brings to the table. This is all about making connections, and it’s making waves across Charleston’s vibrant restaurant scene!
Employers Can Hire for Individual Shifts
What’s really cool about ShiftNow is that it lets employers hire workers for individual shifts. That means if they’re short-staffed one evening, they can quickly check out reliable workers’ profiles and previous job ratings. It saves time and takes some of the stress out of finding the right person for the job. Restaurants like Charleston Crab House are already utilizing this platform to evaluate new employees during a probationary period before deciding to make a formal hire. It gives both parties a chance to see whether they fit before committing!
A Thorough Onboarding Process
Now, before you get too excited, there’s a good reason why only 100 out of every 1,000 applicants end up qualifying for ShiftNow. The onboarding process is detailed, ensuring that only the most qualified individuals make it onto the platform. This commitment to quality means employers can be more confident in the workers they hire, making it a win-win for everyone involved.
Expanding Beyond Shift Workers
What started with a focus on shift workers is rapidly expanding! ShiftNow has broadened its horizons to include managerial and chef positions, offering a complete solution for staffing needs in the hospitality industry. This shift demonstrates a keen understanding of the industry’s demands—because we all know a good restaurant thrives on great management and culinary talent, just as much as it does on hardworking shift staff.
Serving Local Restaurants Across the Southeast
The app mainly targets local and independently owned restaurants throughout South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. It’s been quite the hit, with around 1,000 businesses already creating accounts on ShiftNow. What’s more exciting is how ShiftNow has found particular success in cities like Atlanta, where the gig economy is flourishing, and companies like Instacart and Uber have thrived. It seems Charleston is leading the charge with this refreshing approach to hiring in the hospitality sector.
Simplifying the Hiring Process
David Wise believes that ShiftNow simplifies the hiring process significantly. By enhancing connections between hospitality workers and employers, it’s making life easier for everyone involved. In an industry where every second counts, this platform is proving to be a game-changer!
Future Plans for ShiftNow
So what’s next for ShiftNow? The plan is to dig deeper into the current markets they’re serving before eyeing new U.S. locations. This means more options for both employers and job seekers, benefiting everyone from bustling restaurants to dedicated workers just trying to find their next gig. It’s safe to say that ShiftNow is carving out its niche in the hospitality market and making a significant impact—one shift at a time!
