Ultra-Staff EDGE JOBS is a mobile app designed for employees who work with staffing companies, whether they are seeking opportunities or currently working with the staffing agency. One of the main obstacles that staffing and recruiting companies face is keeping potential employees engaged and retaining them once they are employed with the staffing agency.

From the beginning stages when employees are looking for a job, throughout employment, and beyond, Ultra-Staff EDGE JOBS provides employees with everything they need to foster the ultimate experience.

The app has streamlined many tasks, especially during W2 season. Candidates have access to everything they need right at their fingertips.”

During the job search, employees can use the mobile app to search and apply for jobs. Work Now opportunities can also be pushed out to specific employees, which are jobs that need workers immediately. Employees can choose to accept or decline the offer right on the spot.
