Another sign that the power of mobile is taking off, even temp workers are getting in on the action.
TempWorks Software recently released TW Text Messaging, a product designed for staffing firms that allows temp workers to take advantage of text messaging. TempWorks Software provides business solutions for the staffing industry.
“Many of our development projects come straight from our customers,” Paul Czywczynski, chief technology officer at TempWorks, said. “In this case we had a customer request the specific function of tracking employee availability through text messaging. Our team took their initial request and built this product around it. TempWorks Text Messaging creates the ability to multitask and respond to employee requests quickly and efficiently, taking out extra steps in the entire recruitment process.”
The product allows temp employees to text their availability, hours and request directions and assignment information to a pre-determined phone number. The text message then automatically populates their employee record, which is sent to the proper supervisor. The feature eliminates the need for internal staff to make phone calls and complete numerous data entry tasks.
“The text messaging function supports our mission to make staffing companies more profitable with technology” Cory Hintz, vice president of TempWorks Software, said. “Instead of having to make multiple calls back and forth to get in touch with an employee, all employees have to do is text in a message and the message is logged. Cutting out the extra steps will allow recruiters to focus on filling positions, rather than tedious data entry and phone tag.”
“You’ve heard of just-in-time manufacturing,” InStaff CEO Randy Burkhart said. “This is just-in-time staffing, having the ability to deliver hundreds of workers with little notice. Getting our clients the workers they need when they need them is our number one priority. The text messaging capability will give us a competitive advantage over our competition, allowing us to fill orders at a faster pace.”
