Employee turnover is an issue for many companies, particularly those that employ hourly workers. Keeping a fully staffed team can cost businesses a substantial amount in training and hiring costs. Workstream was founded to combat these issues and provide businesses with a streamlined tool to keep businesses running smoothly.
With automated texting and SMS technology, Workstream has developed a product that allows managers to communicate with, interview, hire, and even onboard hourly employees. This allows companies to save time by completely streamlining and automating the hiring process, something that used to consume significant company time.
The following brands have trusted Workstream: McDonald’s, Subway, FedEx, Jamba juice, IHOP, ACE Hardware, Dunkin’ Donut, Marriott, Sylvan Learning, Taco Bells, Jiffy Lube, Crumbl Cookies, Popeyes, 7 Eleven, Jimmy John’s, Applebee’s, Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon, and Built. Workstream has helped these companies affordably staff their teams with qualified candidates.

Hiring Resources
In addition to offering a streamlined hiring process that utilizes text messaging and SMS technology, Workstream also offers a number of resources, like hiring guides with practical solutions and best practices when drafting job descriptions or conducting quality interviews.
Combats Turnover
Workstream is attempting to eliminate the pain points associated with high turnover rates. By nature, hourly positions tend to experience more turnover than salaried positions. High turnover rates can cause a number of issues including understaffed teams, rushed training, and poor customer and employee experience.
The technology available through Workstream helps combat turnover as managers are able to identify and communicate with quality potential hires rather than taking whatever is available through traditional hiring practices.
The Bad
- Limited to Hourly Workers
