These four easy steps are the best way for job seekers to make the most of JobStack and find jobs quickly and easily.
Remember life before smartphones and apps? Yeah, neither do we. The joke that there’s an app for everything feels like a lifetime ago. Now, there truly does seem like to be an app for everything, ranging from the silly to the essential. There are even apps to help you manage your apps.
Luckily, there are also apps that let you conveniently find work. One example is JobStack, which lets you find on-demand work when and where you want it.
You’re probably wondering, “I already have a lot of apps—why is JobStack worth the coveted space on my home screen?” Simply put: You can find jobs more quickly than ever before just by taking steps you’re already taking. It’s no extra work on your part, but you’ll see great results.
Here are four ways to use JobStack to speed up your job search:
PeopleReady has a long history of bringing workers to affected areas and our mobile app, JobStack, has made the process easier and more efficient. See how JobStack works.
When natural disasters occur, they leave weeks—even months—of recovery work behind. Everyone in the affected communities are eager to begin rebuilding their lives. Soon after, and in some cases before the event occurs, you will see a surge of new temporary jobs. There might be debris that needs to be moved or construction projects for displaced residents or temporary cleanup efforts. There could even be longer term roles for ongoing issues, like plumbing.
What matters most to these communities is speed. No one has time to wait. If you’re eager to join these efforts and take jobs that help disaster recovery, you want to find them as soon as possible. PeopleReady has a long history of bringing workers to affected areas and our mobile app, JobStack, has made the process easier and more efficient.
Here are four ways JobStack makes finding work in the wake of a natural disaster simpler:
Once the community is able to assess the damage and focus on moving forward, businesses and organizations start looking for workers immediately, whether to move debris or staff a call center to handle an onslaught of customer service calls. With JobStack, you’re able to view real-time job postings on your phone and choose the ones you want. This convenient feature, available at any time, is crucial during post-disaster cleanup.
As you can imagine, natural disaster sites can be hectic in the following days and weeks. JobStack’s “Submit Hours” feature allows you to submit work hours (and lets managers approve them) from the ease of your phone; no need to drive to a physical location or find the supervisor to submit your time ticket.
Recovery efforts aren’t always 9-to-5 gigs, meaning opportunities for work aren’t limited to a specific time of day. Whether you’re a resident of the area or temporarily there to work, you don’t have to worry that your schedule might prevent you from earning a paycheck. JobStack lets you see what’s available and choose only the opportunities that work for you.
Internet connectivity isn’t always reliable in the aftermath of a natural disaster or major storm, which can lead to a myriad of problems and plenty of frustration. Luckily, you only need a working smartphone to use the app. Every feature we’ve mentioned above—from the job listings to the ability to submit hours—is available as long as your phone has a signal.

PeopleReady’s app JobStack connects people with work. Our associates tell us why JobStack has made finding jobs easier.
Did you know that last year over 3 million shifts were filled using PeopleReady’s app, JobStack? We could tell you how great we think JobStack is, but we know that the most meaningful opinions come from the workers who actually use the app to find the work they want, when they want it. After all, when it comes to downloading another app on your phone—especially one that involves something as important as your career—you want to make sure you’re making a smart move.
Before using JobStack, what were the top two challenges for workers? Having to travel to a local branch for every job opportunity and finding work that fits their desired schedule (with a desirable commute coming in at a close fourth). The common thread of these challenges: convenience.
“JobStack has improved my job search because I can plan ahead on scheduling my time and work week: I can be placed on long term assignments. I can see when my hours have been submitted. The app is a great tool for convenience.”

And after they started using JobStack, more than half of workers said they appreciated not having to travel to a branch to find work. Convenient schedules and a good commute also improved as a result of the app.
“[JobStack] basically simplified the job search. It’s cut my travel time by 50%. It lets me view all assignments before I commit to one.”

When asked to assess JobStack, an overwhelming majority of users agreed that, among several benefits, it makes finding work easier.

That’s why PeopleReady will continue to make JobStack the convenient way to find the job you want.
