The benefits of on-demand staff recruitment

The on-demand economy has grown rapidly in the past few years, causing major shifts in how companies do business. A taxi, a blow-dry, a meal, a weekly shop – these and more are available to consumers at a speed, price and frequency that was previously unthinkable. Companies have adapted to these changes, leveraging flexible staff to supplement their full-time workforce. For employees, part-time work has become more desirable and socially acceptable. Some people are seeking flexibility and control over their working hours, while others want supplemental income.

As a result, the demand for temporary labour has risen sharply. But the question is – how do businesses meet this demand? Most recruitment agencies fail to offer the fast, reliable and innovative service that on-demand businesses need.

On-demand creates new recruitment needs

This change heralds the new era of flexible recruitment. Businesses need to manage unpredictability and ensure they’re finding the right staff at the right time. This applies to on-demand companies like Deliveroo, but also to more traditional businesses as well. If the receptionist calls in sick, there needs to be a cost-effective solution to ensure the CEO isn’t covering the phones. During busy holiday seasons like summer and half-terms, companies need to fill in the gaps. If a whole team comes down with the flu during the winter, companies need to be able to get skilled temporary staff within a few hours.

Not all roles are suitable for on-demand recruitment. But many, many are: telesales, customer service, reception, secretarial, administration. Taking advantage of sourcing these roles on-demand is key to continuing business success. But to do this, businesses need a comprehensive platform where they can easily recruit, onboard and pay temporary staff.
