Instawork offers several advantages over traditional staffing agencies in Portland:

1. Flexibility and Transparency: Instawork allows businesses and workers to choose who they want to work with. It also provides a mobile app that makes it quick and easy for workers to schedule shifts and get paid.

2. Quality of workers: Instawork workers bring more experience, career motivations, accountability, and drive. This can lead to a difference in culture and morale compared to hiring through traditional staffing agencies.

3. High-Tech Approach: Instawork uses a 'high-tech' and 'high-touch' approach to ensure the quality of staffing. This includes a 30-data point collection and vetting process, allowing businesses to see the worker’s profile and location status ahead of the shift.

4. Motivation and Incentives: Instawork provides incentives to keep professionals motivated. It also has a feedback system that incentivizes workers to maintain high performance.

5. Operational Agility and Cost Efficiency: Instawork allows businesses to adjust their headcount according to their actual needs, which can help businesses avoid paying for more employees than they need.

6. Faster Payments: Instawork ensures faster payments, with workers paid weekly and direct deposits into their accounts.

7. Recognition and Rewards: The platform provides recognition and rewards for a job well done, with feedback and kudos from other workers providing excellent incentives and building accountability.

8. Quality and Reliability: Instawork prioritizes quality, personally vetting anyone who creates a profile and only allowing those with verified work experience and references to sign up for shifts.

Portland workers who sign up on Instawork have to create a detailed profile. We collect and verify over 30 skills data points, including work history, skill quizzes, professional references, and valid certifications.

We’re different from Portland temp agencies in because these data points are available to you to review via their profile. Plus, once they start completing shifts through Instawork, we continue to assess their work performance with ratings, feedback, and on-time metrics.

Instawork offers flexible, all-inclusive pricing to ensure you only pay for the hours you use. Hourly business rates include the Instawork Professional’s hourly rate, Occupational Accident Insurance coverage, and applicable taxes and fees. Instawork handles all billing and worker payments.
