New job app aims to find talent "within 3 hours" by scanning a QR code

While filling full-time positions is imperative, businesses that depend on large amounts of part-time workers often find themselves in crucial and tight crunches to fill sparse shifts. The task isn't easy when hiring, especially fast hiring, is a painful resource drain on time, money, and productivity. 

But a “revolutionary” app launched by employment agency YY Hong Ye Group is being touted as able to provide quality part-time employment within a matter of hours without the need for tedious red tape.

On July 9th, 2019, YY Hong Ye launched a “first-of-its-kind” QR code feature on its Part Time Jobs app, which allows businesses in the food and beverage (F&B), retail and cleaning sectors to secure on-demand staff within three hours of submitting a request.

The app was initially launched in July last year as an on-demand digital staffing platform for matchmaking between employers and part-time job seekers mainly in the F&B industry and the retail and hospitality sectors.

Over time, the agency expanded its range of part-time job openings and positions to include cleaning and housekeeping services for commercial areas such as ION Orchard and Robertson Walk.

According to YY Hong Ye Group’s Managing Director, Pauline Low, industry sentiments about the slowness of the recruitment process motivated the agency to push out an additional QR code feature that enables employers to fulfill impromptu temporary staffing needs – even in the midst of an industry labour shortage.
