The app allows direct access between employers and employees and Syft handles all payroll and tax obligations, with the employer paying workers’ wages and any NI contributions via the app.
All job seekers are fully vetted and trained prior to being given access to the app, which rates staff according to specific skill sets.
Co-founder Jack Beaman, said: “Whilst at University I found it hard to believe that the recruitment agency employing me on behalf of top hotels were earning such huge fees on top of my wage, whilst providing the employer with minimal control and choice over the staff they received.
“Furthermore, I could not choose where or when I wanted to work. Combined with my years working in a tech start up, I feel strongly that technology is set to have a huge impact across hospitality and recruitment and believe Syft is the app to kick start this.”
Syft officially launches this month and is available to download for iOS and Android.
