A CLARE-BASED tech company, which has been dubbed ‘Tinder For Jobs’, has won a top business award, writes Owen Ryan.

Get The Shifts, which offers an on-demand staffing platform to hospitality businesses, has been named as Most Innovative Temporary Staffing Solutions Provider 2021 in the EU Business News Irish Enterprise Awards.
The award highlights the continued success of Get the Shifts as they deliver high quality, experienced staff to clients for shift work with as little as three hours’ notice.
The EU Business News Awards recognise “exemplary Irish business demonstrating outstanding levels of excellence, customer service and innovation.”
In making their selection, the EU Business News Irish Enterprise Award considered Get the Shifts’ achievements under various criteria such as business performance, longevity, business growth and any significant innovations.
Speaking about the award, Hannah Wrixon, General Manager of Get the Shifts said, “We are absolutely delighted and honoured to have been recognised by EU Business News for this award.
“It is a fantastic boost to all our staff at Get the Shifts, as we strive to provide high-quality experienced workers to fulfill the temporary staffing needs of our clients.
“We continually push for excellence and our innovative approach to temporary recruitment has allowed us to navigate the uncertainty of the pandemic employment market.
“It was fantastic that this recognition came at a pivotal time in the fortunes of Get the Shifts. We are seeking to grow our business both at home and abroad, having recently joined forces with one of the leading recruitment companies in Ireland, FRS Recruitment.
“We are already seeing the positive impact of this new arrangement and as that progress continues we hope we will soon have further reasons to celebrate,” Ms. Wrixon concluded.
