Uber launches a staffing agency unit, Uber Works
Uber launches a staffing agency unit, Uber Works: "Uber Works is a platform that connects workers with big and small businesses. Finding new ways to earn and filling your staffing needs are now just a few clicks away."
The press release below.
Today, millions of Americans use staffing agencies to find work. Yet the status quo is not ideal, for workers or for businesses.
Workers face rigid scheduling and opaque information about where they can pick up shifts and how much they can expect to earn. Businesses struggle to staff up to meet peak demand, and have to grapple with missed shifts and high turnover.
We believe a new, technology-first approach can provide faster and easier means for people to get work, while offering greater insight into the many opportunities for work that are out there—improving the experience for workers and businesses alike.
That’s why over the past year, we’ve studied and built tech solutions that can help positively impact a workers’ shift experience and eliminate bottlenecks to finding work.
