Case study: Hyatt Regency
“It’s incredibly valuable to have returning Upshifters who know my kitchens already”
Karol Osinski, Executive Chef & Food and Beverage Director,
Hyatt Regency
Karol Osinski, the Executive Chef & Food and Beverage Director at a Hyatt Regency, needed to revolutionize his approach to employment and staffing.
Karol was looking for a way to manage busy peaks without overstaffing, and without the inconsistent quality and quantity of job candidates from traditional temp agencies.
The lack of transparency regarding temp agencies' pay rates and the constant training of new temps were additional hurdles at the company.
One key advantage highlighted by Chef Karol is the control Upshift provides in the hiring process. Knowing who is coming beforehand allows him to plan around the strengths of Upshifters, ensuring a skilled and reliable team. This control over staffing impacts schedule building, allowing for more efficient use of supervisory resources.
Upshift's platform enables Karol to block individuals who haven't been successful, giving him hiring control and preventing unsuitable candidates from accessing posted shifts. During crucial events, Karol can show key shifts to a "core group of favorites" only, ensuring reliability in staffing during important occasions.
Chef Karol has successfully built a team of "core contract workers" consisting of skilled cooks who work flexibly throughout the week, including an executive sous chef, as well as individuals who work 1-2 shifts a week and those eager to learn a new trade for their career goals. The returning flexible team reduces the need for constant training and ensures consistency in quality.
The success of this partnership is evident in the 82% return rate, the 92% fill rate, and the 4.99 rating of Upshifters.

Agency FAQs
Our aim, as a staffing agency alternative, is to hire qualified candidates and help them grow by setting high expectations for them.
How Does It Work?
Thanks to our 3-strike policy and a review system, our job seekers understand they need to do their best.
Upshifters receive a strike for canceling shifts, being late, or other minor issues.
A severe issue like a qualified candidate not showing up at all leads to 3 strikes.
Getting 3 strikes means they can't work with Upshift anymore.
As a leading staffing agency alternative, we create a culture where Upshifters feel responsible - they take our rules very seriously because they don't want to lose their access to the platform permanently.
We make sure to select only the most qualified candidates when it comes to recruiting professionals.
Every job seeker goes through a two-part vetting process, involving an online personality assessment and a face-to-face interview.
As a leading staffing agency alternative, only the top 12% are chosen as Upshifters.
With our exceptional qualified candidates, you can enjoy reduced downtime, heightened productivity, and improved forecasting for your staffing needs in the future—resulting in a decrease in labor costs overall.
