The Gig App Helps Millennials Secure Part-Time Shift Work Easily

— October 7, 2016 — Lifestyle

The solution to earning money without being tied down to a nine-to-five job is to take on short-term and part-time employment. However, in the same industry, one business might welcome that type of employment while another will laugh the prospective employee out the door. The Gig app helps to sort these businesses, making it easier for Millennials to to find the type of job they want for an employer that's happy to have them.

To use Gig, one simply signs up on the app and schedules oneself to an open shift at the desired business. They can then pull that shift, with no obligation to return another day.
Trend Themes
1. Shift Work Flexibility - The Gig app is providing flexibility on part-time shift-work opportunities, which will disrupt the way Millennials approach traditional employment.
2. Gig Economy Job Matching - The Gig app's job matching algorithm could disrupt recruiting practices in the gig economy and create a new way of filling shift roles.
3. Workforce Digitalization - Gig app's mobile platform is disrupting the traditional brick-and-mortar industry by digitalizing shift-work opportunities for the workforce.
Industry Implications
1. Gig Economy - The Gig app is redefining the gig economy by creating a digital marketplace for shift-work opportunities and matching workers with employers that best suit their needs.
2. Recruitment - The Gig app's matching algorithm could revolutionize recruitment in the gig economy by streamlining the hiring process for shift roles and providing a more transparent system for candidates and employers.
3. Mobile Workforce Management - The Gig app's mobile solution is disrupting the way employers manage their workforce, allowing them to quickly fill shift roles with trusted and vetted gig workers and reducing friction in the employment process.
