Shift-Seeking Job Apps

This Job Search App Helps You Find Temporary Work Positions

— February 24, 2016 — Tech
Shift Gig is an innovative new smartphone job search app, launched in Bayou City, that is designed to completely transform the way people go about searching for temporary work positions.

Currently, most job search apps focus on the search for full-time positions, but there is a huge pool out there of workers looking for short-term and temporary employment that hasn't yet been tapped into by job search services. This is where Shift Gig comes in. The app is currently online in as many as nine cities, and is set to grow and expand even more. It's a great option for people with the flexibility to claim shifts in search of extra work hours.

By targeting unemployed and underemployed millennials on their smartphones, Shift Gig is ensuring maximum engagement while making it easier for businesses looking to fill their temporary positions.

Trend Themes
1. Temporary Work Positions - Shift Gig is capitalizing on the growing demand for temporary work by creating a job search app specifically for short-term positions.
2. Job Search Apps - As job search apps primarily focus on full-time positions, there is an untapped market for apps catering to temporary work, presenting an opportunity for innovative solutions like Shift Gig.
3. Smartphone Engagement - Shift Gig's mobile platform maximizes engagement by targeting millennials who are searching for flexible temporary work opportunities.
Industry Implications
1. Job Search Services - Shift Gig disrupts the traditional job search services by offering a specialized platform for finding temporary work.
2. On-demand Economy - As the on-demand economy continues to grow, Shift Gig provides a solution for businesses seeking temporary employees quickly and efficiently.
3. Temporary Staffing - Shift Gig disrupts the temporary staffing industry by providing a user-friendly app that connects workers directly with businesses in need of temporary personnel.
