Reinventing how you hire promotional staff

Having access to quality staff for hourly roles like promotional staff and customer service reps has helped Uber grow rapidly in Australia and New Zealand. Being able to hire staff when and where we need them quickly and affordably has enabled us to keep our core team lean but well supported as we’ve scaled.

Sidekicker has allowed us to book staff with ease. It allows us to let our previous staff join up and has provided us with a new pool of pre-screened, work-ready, and most importantly high quality workers–the majority of whom work with us on a regular basis.

Sidekicker saves us money on agency fees, and so much time on paperwork and administration.

It’s great being able to hire quality team members for in-store promotions when and where we need them. We can control who works for us and easily rehire the staff we like for entire campaigns. 

With Sidekicker, we’re able to request who and what we need at the click of a button. Given we use Sidekicker for all of our campaigns we’ve also built up a stockpile of templates and talent pools which makes the whole process so simple and user friendly–what used to take us hours now literally takes less than 5 minutes.

The most beneficial thing about Sidekicker is the ability to launch into different cities. We had a lot of customers wanting us in Sydney and Brisbane but we didn’t have the staff or the resources to grow into those cities. Luckily, Sidekicker had a talent pool already in the cities we wanted to expand into, so it allowed me to tap into their talent to grow and be able to run our events in those cities.
