Real-Time Employment Platform Crew Pond Announces First Public Beta

Crew Pond is a real-time human resource platform that has been built with the passion to empower people to do what they love, and to take the massive on-boarding costs out of employing the right people for the job.

Crew Pond is launching its first public beta for IOS early October, 2019 via the AppStore!

The beta is exclusively for the Hospitality and Events sectors, with additional industries to be added after the beta. Android and web-based platforms coming soon!

Jamie McEwen, CEO of Crew Pond said: “We spend so much of our lives working, so finding the right fit for the perfect combination of employer and employee shouldn’t be so hard, time-consuming and expensive. That’s why we’ve invested so much time into building the best features into Crew Pond to make things like connecting the right people to the right employers easy and affordable for everyone. With features that allow you to keep track of your best contractors, calendars for scheduling and easy invoicing it doesn’t matter if you’re a small business or larger company, we make the recruitment process easy!”

Australian employment statistics tell us that Aussies are ready to change the way that they look for work and find employees:

  • It takes an average of 68 days to fill in a vacant position
  • Some insiders suggest an average of 50-60 applicants per job
  • Work-life balance is the number one thing Australian professionals look for in a new role
  • The average cost per hire is around $5000

In the words of Jamie, Crew Pond CEO: “As an employer and employee in the Audio Visual industry, I’ve felt every one of these stats and it wasn’t fun. After talking with friends doing business across multiple industries, I realised that everyone was in the same boat. I knew that there had to be a better way, and the reality was that there wasn’t. So 15 months ago, Crew Pond was born.”
