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.”
