Intuit Workforce Focuses on Finding, Engaging and Scaling On-Demand
Talent
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) launched Intuit
Workforce, a new product that helps companies like Luxe,
Deliv and OrderUp
streamline working with on-demand talent. The new product is the result
of Intuit’s acquisition of Playbook
HR in March 2015. It complements QuickBooks Self-Employed, which
helps on-demand workers, freelancers and independent contractors manage
their finances and tax requirements.
A forecast
released last month showed that an estimated 7.6 million Americans will
be working regularly as providers in the on-demand economy by 2020, more
than doubling the current total of 3.2 million.
“The rapid growth of the on-demand economy is reshaping the U.S. labor
market, with on-demand workers expected to grow to 11 percent of the
nation’s 66 million U.S. independent contractors,” said Alex Chriss,
vice president and general manager of Self-Employed Solutions at Intuit.
“This massive growth brings new complexity in worker management,
payments and tax distribution. QuickBooks Self-Employed and our new
Intuit Workforce work together to make it easier for both workers and
companies to collaborate, share data and efficiently meet their
respective compliance requirements.”
A Comprehensive Solution for Optimizing On-Demand Workforces
Intuit Workforce is a free product that provides companies with
everything they need to manage their relationships with on-demand
workers from start to finish. Intuit Workforce helps companies do the
following:
-
Find and engage talent: Through the Intuit Workforce API,
companies can seamlessly accept, update and export data. Companies can
then communicate with the best talent through email and text message,
schedule new workers and review necessary documents.
-
Comply with industry standards: Intuit Workforce makes it easy
for companies to integrate with industry-standard tools to run
in-depth, compliant background checks, send fast, secure and legally
binding e-signatures, and create custom tests and training courses for
prospective and current workers.
-
Spend resources effectively: Intuit Workforce enables companies
to automate repetitive tasks, such as sending invitations to workers
and moving forward with those who meet their select criteria. Using
Intuit Workforce analytics, companies can check pipeline health,
identify bottlenecks and compare leads, freeing up time to invest in
data-driven improvements to worker outreach.
There are almost 200,000 prospective on-demand workers on the Intuit
Workforce platform. Since acquiring Playbook HR, Intuit has also added
70 companies, including Luxe, Deliv,
OrderUp, Washio,
Favor Delivery, Eden
and Saucey.
Intuit Workforce partners with a range of companies to deliver an
end-to-end experience, including Checkr
and Onfido (background checks), Twilio
(text messages and phone calls), HelloSign
(electronic signatures) and Lesson.ly
(custom trackable lessons).
“Intuit Workforce has helped us streamline the process of qualifying
delivery specialists,” said Daphne Carmeli CEO of Deliv, a same-day
delivery service. “It is a reliable, flexible, secure system that we can
trust.”
“Intuit Workforce has fundamentally changed the way we run operations
here at Luxe,” said Curtis Lee, CEO of on-demand valet parking company
Luxe. “Intuit Workforce is our solution of choice that can keep up with
Luxe’s rapid growth plans and increase operating efficiency as well as
provide us with the analytics to right-size recruiting and worker
composition. We’ve now expanded to eight cities, thanks in part to the
incredible team at Workforce.”
