Shyft Raises $6.5M for Staffing Tools Used by Workers and Employers
Summary
Shyft says its software allows workers to claim and trade shifts, and send messages to colleagues and employers.“Antiquated methods such as social media groups, text messages, and phone lists aren’t keeping up with today’s hyper-connected workforce,” says Brett Patrontasch, co-founder and CEO of Shyft, in a news release .With Black Friday just over a week away, many retailers are bringing on additional help to get them through the busy holiday shopping season.Shyft is seeking to make inroads in the increasingly crowded field of on-demand staffing platforms, which fit into the broader “gig” economy trend.Some of the other companies that develop similar products and services are BlueCrew, Shiftgig, and Wonolo.
