The Challenge

Riverbend Music Center was looking to fill third shift positions to faciliate and then clean up after performances. After staffing agencies had difficulty with quality and turnaround time, Riverbend turned to Upshift.

How Upshift Met the Challenge

Riverbend posted its first shift with Upshift in April, and it was completely filled in less than 24 hours. Since then Upshift has maintained a fill rate above 95% with most shifts being filled in under 24 hours. Finding extra help during concerts for Riverbend was as easy as clicking a button to post a shift. Staffing headaches previously experienced in the run-up to an event have been eliminated since Upshift.

Results?

Upshift modernized the entire process using technology which resulted in higher quality workers, faster fill times and easier management. This resolved the quality and reliability issues that Riverbend Music Center experienced and allowed them to go from using multiple staffing providers and still being short staffed to using only one and still being able to meet all of their requirements.

“With the ease and convenience of the ‘duplicate’ feature, Upshift’s recruiting process has made adding personnel easier than ever.  We couldn’t be happier with the overall outstanding quality of employees recruited with Upshift.”
