Revolutionary platform gives companies instant access to local part-time workers
The Hela Job app launches on 9th September 2019. This innovative, Uber-like job matching platform to boost employability is already leading the gig economy with its locally focused, on-demand job hiring app. Hela Job is on a mission to reshape the employment market by connecting local companies with local job seekers in a single click on their smartphone.
“While most job apps help companies find workers around the world, we help companies find workers around the corner." - Ioannis Antypas, CEO & Founder of Hela Job.
With one in ten UK adults now working on gig economy platforms (link to: https://www.thehrdirector.com/legal-updates/legal-updates-2019/uks-gig-economy-workforce-doubled-since-2016/), the Hela Job app couldn’t be launching at a better time. It’s the first to focus on local job markets and will be launching in London and then cities throughout the UK. The app aims to help business owners find local, part-time workers and job seekers find local jobs in their neighbourhood.
Here are some of the best features the Hela Job app will offer:
• Real-time tracking - Employers can check and live track when a new employee is on their way to them.
• Built-in messaging - No need to use third-party apps like Whatsapp and Messenger, which can appear unprofessional.
• One-click job requests - Employers can request Job Seekers in a single click and Job Seekers can accept jobs just as quickly.
• Fast response time of 30 seconds or up to eight minutes – Ideal for short-notice cover.
• Advanced scheduling - For peak hours, emergency cover or holiday cover, employers can schedule a job request in advance and let the Hela Job algorithm take care of the rest.
• 24/7 customer support for all employers and Job Seekers.
Job seekers already using the app have praised its revolutionary approach and features:
“The location feature is great, who doesn’t want to work closer to home?” said Sia Tehrani, a London resident who works part-time at a London coffee shop. “I like the freedom the app gives me. Just like Uber, when I want to work, I’ll turn it on and make myself available. When I don’t want to work, I'll turn it off. I’m in charge of my work schedule and I love it!”.
After launching in London this week, Antypas plans to make Hela Job available in every major UK city by December. And later, to keep pace with the booming gig economy worldwide, the company will introduce its job-filling, job-finding app to international markets. Hela Job’s next target - the U.S., where an estimated 57 million workers have joined the gig economy.
The company’s slogan, “Fill a Job, Find a Job with Hela Job”, will likely be translated into multiple languages as service industries in industrialized countries worldwide undergo a fundamental, digital transformation, relying less on full-time employees and more on part-time, local workers looking for jobs in their own neighbourhood.
