COMPASS CASE STUDY
How Engaged, Returning “Temps” are Revolutionizing University Staffing
“I don't know what you all do as far as your hiring process goes, but you, you seem to have more people that are skilled and actually are there to work, not just to collect a paycheck.”
“I haven't needed to use another temp service. I don't want to use anybody else because it's such an easy process with the app.”
Jason Ritter, Director of Operations
Before Upshift, Jason Ritter at UNC Charlotte grappled with a team of unskilled, international student staff and inflexible traditional staffing agencies. Upshift revolutionized this by providing rigorously screened, self-selecting workers eager to excel in their roles.
Jason now enjoys instant access to reliable staff, greatly simplifying shift management and communication. “It's getting an instant response… It’s been very easy to communicate when I need things.” Learn more in our case study.
