Sidekicker essentially empower us to have an external workforce available to hire when we need extra staff, whilst avoiding having to train new temps every time we need extra staff because we’re able to hire the same Sidekicks over and over again. Sidekicker enables us to just get the right person in as soon as possible – it saves us hours on recruitment admin. Sidekicker really makes it possible for us to innovate and respond to change so quickly.

Uber case study

Uber conquered Australia & New Zealand

"Having access to our own Sidekicks on demand has helped Uber grow rapidly in Australia and New Zealand while keeping our core team lean but well supported.

Read how Sidekicker helped Uber rapidly grow while keeping costs low

For their ANZ launch, Uber required a staffing solution that met their aggressive growth strategy. They needed to access high-quality talent quickly and cost-effectively, while maintaining flexibility.

Sidekicker has now provided hundreds of temp, contract and permanent staff across 11+ roles. Uber’s central staffing team uses Sidekicker to easily ensure they have the right staff working the right shifts.

Ticketek case study

Ticketek's dramatically improved customer service

"We're able to really own the relationship with the staff and rehire the best workers through private Talent Pools. And we don't lose the best talent during our quiet periods."

Discover how Sidekicker empowered Ticketek improve staff repetition, retention, and quality

Working in a highly seasonal industry, Ticketek experiences significant peaks in demand for their frontline workers. Their casual staffing operations would cause considerable extra work in these peaks.

Since February 2019, Sidekicker has provided 100% of Ticketek’s casual workforce. Not only have they saved considerable time and cost on recruiting and onboarding, they’ve also improved staff repetition, retention and quality.

“Our staff repetition has greatly increased, which means we save time training new staff when our regular Sidekicks can simply walk in the door and pick up the job on the day.”

Mansfield propagation nursery case study

Mansfield's scaled their workforce for peak season

"Sidekicker is so invested in the quality of their people. The attitude of the staff was so positive and their ability to pick up tasks quickly helped us maintain high productivity."

Learn how Mansfield's filled 300+ jobs with 99% show rate in <2 hours with Sidekicker

Mansfield’s needed experienced staff to support an ambitious growth initiative. Because production was impacted by factors like the weather they also required a lot of flexibility from their workforce. 

Which meant they had real difficulty finding people fast enough. They also found the staff they were getting from multiple agencies were inconsistent and had a high rate of absenteeism.

With Sidekicker’s easy platform, Mansfield’s was able to quickly and easily hire experienced staff. At their peak period, they filled 300+ jobs with a 99% show rate. They also reduced their recruitment time from 48 hours (with an agency) to <2 hours.

  • No control over who turns up for the shift and you run the risk of a bad hire
  • Retraining new staff time and time again after every shift
  • Staff are overwhelmed and frustrated with phone calls, emails and paperwork
  • Always having to pay expensive agency fees over and over again
