by Rebecca Walker — October 8, 2010—WorkerExpress announced it is launching a redesigned technology platform, making it easier than ever for contractors to find and hire the temporary workers they need to get the job done. WorkerExpress is leading the technology revolution that is making hiring more efficient and transparent in blue-collar trades.
This new employment platform streamlines the process for contractors looking to hire temporary laborers. Workers go to the Web site to post their profiles, which include their pictures, verified references, certifications, specialties, list of tools, and work experience. Contractors can then hire workers, who fit their specific needs, directly through the website or on the phone.
Using its revolutionary platform, WorkerExpress has been successfully placing jobs in general labor, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, and other blue-collar trades.
WorkerExpress uses SMS technology that allows workers to clock in and out of the job site via text message. This means no more messy paperwork to sign at the work site or keep track of at the office.
Unemployment in the construction industry is hovering around 20 percent, nearly double the national average in other industries. However, with the economy picking up steam, contractors are going to need an efficient way to meet their hiring needs. That’s where WorkerExpress comes in, with workers who are vetted, insured and ready to work, says the company.
