Now, in light of the current situation, Erika is including a special message:
“Our team at Hyr is laser-focused on helping the 25,000 hospitality and retail gig workers in our Hyr community access the earnings they so desperately need during these challenging times. Hyr’s tech, and the ability to pay workers in 72 hours, can be of valuable help for essential businesses to staff their temp labor needs. We are all in this together, and that’s why we’ve waived our fees for independent businesses, and will not benefit financially from shifts filled during this challenging time. If you know a business struggling to meet their labor needs, please be in touch at erika@hyr.work.”
Erika Mozes is co-founder of Hyr, a mobile app-based platform that allows merchants across the U.S. and Canada to instantly connect with skilled and experienced workers. In this episode, Erika talks about how Hyr is transforming the gig economy, how being married to her co-founder actually makes their business stronger, the surprising ways they're helping direct-to-consumer brands do entire end-to-end labor support, and more.
