Instawork announced that its platform is now available in the Cleveland, Ohio area. The platform connects businesses with over 4 million skilled workers based on their individual business needs, while workers have the flexibility to choose when, where, and how they work.
This announcement comes shortly after city leaders revealed plans to revitalize their downtown area to improve the economy and enhance the experience for residents and visitors. In response to the shortage of labor in the area, local businesses can now use Instawork’s flexible work app to meet increasing customer demands and speed up their recovery. The decline in the area’s working-age population is currently the top economic issue.
“Instawork is the ideal solution for local businesses that need more reliable, skilled staff in Cleveland,” said Kira Caban, Instawork’s Head of Strategic Communications. “Hundreds of local businesses are already taking advantage of the thousands of hourly workers using Instawork and reaping the benefits of doing so.”
Over 237,000 Cleveland residents have already downloaded the Instawork app to fill positions at approximately 500 local businesses, with the most common roles being general labor, warehouse associate, prep cook, line cook, and event server. Various positions in the hospitality and warehousing/supply chain industry are also available. Cleveland locals can create a profile, discover a shift that matches their skills and interests, and begin working in as little as 24 hours.
On the Instawork platform, the average hourly pay rate in Cleveland is $17.15, which is a significant 70% increase over the city’s $10.10 minimum wage. This increase in earnings provides local residents with a better way to meet their financial needs during a time of continued inflation.
Instawork services a diverse range of businesses in the metro area, from nationally-recognized hotels and restaurant groups to popular local hot spots and event venues. Following Instawork’s announcement that over 1 million people joined the app ahead of the previous year’s holiday season, these businesses can easily access reliable and high-quality workers.
In 2022, Instawork was ranked in the top 10% of the country’s fastest-growing companies by Inc. 5000 and was included in the Forbes Next Billion Dollar Startup list. Instawork was also named the 2022 ACE Award recipient for “Best Innovation,” one of the “Best Business Apps” by Business Insider.
