How did Timesave come about ?
Our founder, an employer in the Building & Construction industry has this to say:
“Recruiting staff in the construction industry has always been problematic. Due to the fast paced nature of the industry, traditional recruitment methods rarely yield any results.
It’s commonplace within the construction industry to need to recruit a specific trade at very short notice and for a short period of time, this kind of erratic and unpredictable recruitment doesn’t lend itself to recruitment sites where the period of time between posting a position and hiring a candidate can be upwards of two weeks.
There are many industries that rely heavily on short notice and short term recruitment and unbelievably,
nothing exists to service these requirements”
Whilst true of the construction industry, this scenario also applies to other industries such as –
• Agriculture
• Hospitality
• Care work
• Cleaning
• Acting/Arts
• Gardening
The solution – Timesave – is a mobile app focused on providing an effective solution for this problem. Our unique approach aims to fill this gap in the recruitment market .
Timesave Recruitment offers a two ended solution by allowing both sub-contractors/freelance workers and main contractors/employers seek work or staff. Sub-contractors can create a profile on the app and in the event that they find themselves with a sudden vacancy due to one of many reasons, they can ‘activate’ their profile which allows anyone within their chosen geographical area who has a resoure shortage, to see that they are available for work . Once activated, their profile remains visible for 24 hours from the point of activation at which point their profile reverts to being unavailable until such a point they need to activate their profile again.
Employers who find themselves with a short term vacancy at short notice can also create a profile and list their job. The app will send a notification to any sub-contractors within the area who are available for work. The app will only show jobs that are currently active (no more scrolling through positions that have already been filled) And the app will only show sub-contractors who are available for work (no more phoning several contractors to be told they have no availability for days/weeks)
The Timesave Recruitment app aims to service all industries that rely on short term labour, offering a real time recruitment solution.
Who would use Timesave ?
Anyone who has skills to sell, and anyone who needs to hire skills !
Employers who require short term staff at short notice, this could be a skilled role, a specialist or unskilled labour. Short term vacancies arise as a result of many reasons –
• Prolonged staff sickness
• Maternity leave
• Staff bereavement
• Unexpected increase in orders
• Deadlines being brought forward
Sub-contractors/freelance workers who, through unexpected circumstances find themselves with a space in their diary to fill. Gaps in your diary can occur for many reasons –
• Delays
• Adverse weather
• Customer related problems
• Unexpected slowdown in orders
• Materials/items/products delivered late/incorrectly
• Completing a project ahead of schedule
The app is aimed at all sub-contract/freelance workers from all sectors along with all companies which rely on short term labour to fill gaps in their workforce.
