Case Study: COSI – Center of Science and Industry
“We worked with a couple of agencies in the past, but
Upshift helped become more consistent and reliable for us”
Savannah Ranz, Event Sales Manager, COSI
In 2017, management at COSI was utilizing temp agencies when they had large events. They were consistently unable to get as many people as they needed, plus many of those sent by agencies were not reliable or high-quality workers.
Fast-forward to now, and COSI has all of its shifts consistently filled with Upshifters who have service industry experience and a better outlook on work than traditional temporary workers.
What started as a one-off relationship has now blossomed into a national one, with Upshifters helping COSI in all cities where Upshift is available.

Testimonial:
” Staffing for food and beverage positions is an on-going challenge for us. We tried using traditional temporary agencies to help fill in gaps. The problem with these agencies is that they are experiencing the same labor shortage that we are. If they were even able to find temp workers to send us, the chance of them actually showing up was unlikely.
We have experienced better results with Upshift. The worker actually gets to select employers and the shifts that they want; then the employer gets to pick the Upshifter that best fits the need – increasing your odds of a successful outcome drastically!“
