Shiftsmart - The Changing Methods of Staffing in a Post-COVID World with Aakash Kumar

RecruitingDaily Podcast with William Tincup

On today’s episode of the RecruitingDaily Podcast, William Tincup speaks with Aakash Kumar about the changing needs and methods of staffing in a post-Covid world.

Aakash is founder and CEO at Shiftsmart, a labor platform built for the modern hourly workforce. The platform facilitates matching hourly workers to shifts across different roles, companies, and even industries.

Shiftsmart recently raised $95 million in Series B funding and has a network of over 500,000 workers in more than 50 countries.

It's all about flexibility. Fractionalized labor can help expand the number of people who are willing to work. Rather than committing to a "standard" 40 to 50 hour work week and be paid every two weeks, a worker has the ability to commit instead to a four or six hour shift with pay coming the next day.

Will this displace the traditional staffing agency? Tune in to find out.
