"Instawork helps weed out the nitwits"

5/5

What do you like best about Instawork?

Quick response to shifts being posted.

Ability to see stats on individuals before they arrive on site.

Being able to contact temp associates directly for additional instructions is nice.

The admin staff with Instawork is top notch and always helpful.

Using the app as a new way to stage chefs to see if they are a good fit instead of going through the whole process of interviewing, hiring, onboarding, training just to find out theyre toxic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instawork?

The app and desktop interface takes a little getting used to. THere have been a few times, Ive posted shifts with the incorrect info (payrate, times, etc) but that was more me rushing through and not clicking all the correct buttons.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instawork solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a restauranteur, the need for temporary assistance is just part of the business.

Having used several local staffing agencies it was suprememly frustrating to ask for help, and recieve bodies instead of helpful associates. Half the time I was tracking those persons down trying to get them to do the tasks required.

It felt as though staffing agencies were taking anyone they could get off the street and tossing them into jobs they werent qualified or willing to do.

With Instawork, it is specific to our industry. People are aware up front, that they are looking for food service gigs, not warehouseing, not janitorial, not construction....food service.

Secondly, people on the app need to have a modicum of intelligence just to get through the process of becoming a pro. Compared with the quality of associates we were getting from local staffing agencies, this was worth its weight in gold. Mind you, there are still some individuals where being prompt is a struggle however the hit rate on good people is much higher with Instawork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
