What a difference a few weeks made amid that coronavirus outbreak. In February 2020, the jobs picture was the brightest in history. The data was eye-popping.
Companies hired 273,000 workers sending the unemployment rate down the lowest-level ever. The unemployment rate plummeted to just 3.5 percent.
That all changed thanks to the coronavirus as countless companies deemed unessential were forced to close their doors and lay off their workers.
Companies were tepid in their hiring decisions. Many companies and workers turned to temporary help firms.
Now, for companies and workers looking for manufacturing and distribution jobs, there’s myworkchoice.com (MWC), that’s bringing employers and workers together in as little as one day.
Solutions If You Want to Rise to the Top in Innovation
Actually, MWC is not new. It’s been around since 1988 filling temporary jobs. Its client employers range from GE Appliances to StanleyBlack&Decker. The company completed its first growth-funding round of $3 million in January, 2020.
“MyWorkChoice is delivering exactly what today’s warehousing, manufacturing, distribution and call center companies need – a ready and trained W-2 workforce that can flex to meet their production and workforce needs,” said co-founder and CEO Tana Greene.
Companies pay an hourly markup between 34 and 36 percent, which means reduced labor costs and no recruitment fees. Workers are employees of MWC.
The company does not charge any conversion fees when a company hires one of its temporary workers permanently. That is a key feature that distinguishes its business model from some staffing competitors.
The company offers on-site support for 40-plus full-time equivalent workers and virtual management for smaller teams. MWC manages scheduling and backfills, human-resource issues and manages the payroll.
A company commitment: “Prioritize your family’s health with cost-effective health, vision, and dental packages.”
MWC workers are treated as employees covered by workers compensation and benefits:
- Work-life balance with flexibility to drop and swap shifts
- Same-day pay
- Online onboarding
- Fast hiring
Applicants can apply through the app or Web site, undergo a background check, interview on the telephone and start training which is often online. Applicants can also search for available jobs.
