Bacon connects local Utah businesses and temp work candidates with job app

Bacon is the latest app on the Utah homefront to help local businesses find qualified candidates to fill in their temporary staffing positions - and job seekers can pick their own shifts.

“The way people want to work these days is much more flexible than the traditional model,” said Bacon CEO Hunter Sebresos, noting that he and his team discovered a niche they knew they could fill.

Sebresos works with companies looking to fill short-term jobs and allows them to post those listings on the app. He said those employers benefit by saving the time and expense of interviewing from a “temp agency.”

Taylor Brantly, a Hogle Zoo employee who has posted temporary jobs through Bacon four times, says the app makes her job easier.

"It's easier to schedule (employees), you can see their photos, it's more personable," she said likening Bacon to a "dating app but for co-workers and employees."

Sebresos said he hopes the app will give job seekers the experience they are looking for "whether they are doing it on the side, whether they are doing it in between jobs, or whether they want to do this all the time and experience new things."
