MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ShiftPixy, Inc. (Nasdaq: PIXY) (“ShiftPixy” or “the Company”), a Florida-based national staffing enterprise which designs, manages, and sells access to a disruptive, revolutionary platform that facilitates employment in the rapidly growing Gig Economy, today announced the introduction of “Fast Fill” recruiting technology. Many of the multi-unit fast food operators that have endured the pandemic are now seeing activity pick up and are finding themselves unable to fill open positions, often with “bench strength” weaker than ever. Fast Fill, which is being launched with a “Need Workers?” marketing campaign, is designed to directly reach available workers through mobile technology, encouraging them to immediately sign up for available QSR (quick service restaurant) shifts.

“Today’s challenge of finding enough workers cannot be addressed with yesterday’s tools. The new QSR workforce can only be found by reaching the workers where they are, and the new ShiftPixy mobile technology meets them right where they live and socialize,” said ShiftPixy Co-Founder and CEO, Scott Absher. “We have been developing and testing our mobile engagement technology for several months, and we are thrilled with how effective it has proven to be, not only capturing the attention of interested staff, but also motivating them to start work. Our tests with many of our operator clients have proven our technology capable of quickly filling open positions, significantly faster than other currently available tools and tactics.”
