Connecting 93,000 people with work during a pandemic was no easy task, but Staff Management | SMX’s recruiting team created a way to recruit, interview and hire while keeping applicants and recruiters safe and healthy: Drive-In Hiring. Now, the staffing industry leader is being honored for this innovative work, earning a Silver Globee® Award in The 13h Annual Golden Bridge Business and Innovation Awards®.
As COVID-19 tracked across the country, unemployment rose in many areas, but many essential companies still were filling jobs. Putting people to work is vital to keeping the supply chain moving, and Staff Management | SMX’s creative solution showed it could be done safely and successfully, helping connect people with work in a time when they desperately needed it. And it was powered by Stafftrack, a proprietary hiring tool that offered a mobile-friendly, easy to use application and hiring process that met workers where they were. Stafftrack’s data analytics capabilities have long provided ways for companies to see future hiring trends. With the expansion of its mobile app, it became able to provide workers a user-friendly approach to work. This helped Staff Management | SMX engage workers and get them hired so that essential businesses stayed open, products stayed on shelves and front-line workers got the PPE and equipment they needed.
“The COVID-19 pandemic changed the world of work seemingly overnight,” said Carl Schweihs, president of TrueBlue’s PeopleManagement division, which oversees Staff Management | SMX. “As companies closed and then reopened, their staffing needs fluctuated continuously. The work our teams did not only helped keep the supply chain moving, but also strengthened the communities we are in by making sure people had access to jobs and were able to interview for them safely. Congratulations to our teams on this well-deserved award.”
