TimeSaved

TimeSaved is launching a new app this month that intends to ease how staffing firms communicate with their external workers. The white-label, Uber-like app enables staffing firms to put their workers on an online platform, through which they can sign up for jobs, although the staffing agency would have ultimate say over who gets an assignment among workers who respond in the affirmative. TimeSaved’s app also allows for two-way communication with workers, including by text, and staffing firms can use smart phone’s location ability to notify staffing firms where a worker is, allowing the company to notify clients if a worker is running late. Microsoft has provided funding to the venture, which is based in Toronto and led by CEO Rohan Jacob.
