Get the Shifts, the temporary staff app is changing its name to WrkWrk.

The rebranding has been undertaken ahead of WrkWrk's expected move into foreign markets next year.

The staff solution provider aims to bring in 4,000 additional temporary workers each month, as well as securing a further 500 new monthly placements.

Currently they have a pool of 3,200 available workers and provide, on average, 5,000 monthly shift placements across Ireland.

The service, which was previously dubbed the 'tinder for jobs’, is primarily driven through the app and aims to make shiftwork work for everyone – both workers and employers.

The company says workers have the benefit of being able to access fluid, flexible, commitment free work with wages paid within seven days.

Employers are able to access staff for all types of shifts, ranging from 1 to 500 staff at a time. The service is available 24/7 and staff can be supplied with as little as 3 hours’ notice.

The rebrand follows FRS Recruitment's acquisition of the business last year in a deal worth €1.1m.

Lynne McCormack, General Manager of FRS Recruitment, said the firm is excited about WrkWrk and what it means for the future of flexible, temporary staffing.

"Since we acquired the business last year we have seen it continue to grow and flourish and now we hope to bring the capabilities provided by WrkWrk to an even wider, international audience," Ms McCormack said.

"That was the driving force behind our decision to launch this new brand, giving the business a name that will appeal in foreign markets by adding a more universal dimension to our profile," she said.

"WrkWrk is a unique name that we expect will become the go to solution for employers and workers when it comes to shift work across Ireland, and hopefully beyond, in the very near future," she added.

Hannah Wrixon, General Manager of WrkWrk, said the goal at WrkWrk is to change shiftwork for ever.

"To make it work for everyone. Make it easy and feel human. We are providing an instantaneous solution that allows workers and employers alike to sort out their shiftwork needs through their smartphone on a 24/ 7 basis."

FRS Recruitment has 10 offices nationwide, with locations in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Tipperary, Limerick, Kerry, Kilkenny, Offaly, Cavan and Roscommon.
