BuzzHire operates as a technology-driven, on-demand staffing platform, focusing on the temporary labor market within the hospitality, catering, and delivery services industries. Founded in 2015 by Nick Miller and headquartered in London, the company was established to address inefficiencies in short-term hiring. It provides a mobile- and web-based platform that connects businesses needing to fill shifts with pre-screened freelance workers, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes.
The business model is centered on providing an instant, transparent solution for last-minute staffing challenges. Companies can post job requirements, view rates, and book staff through the BuzzHire app, while workers, referred to as "BuzzWorkers," can select shifts that fit their schedules. This model offers flexibility to both clients facing fluctuating demand and individuals seeking gig-based employment, such as students or those looking for supplementary income. Revenue is generated from the staffing transactions facilitated through the platform.
The platform's core technology utilizes an intelligent algorithm to match open shifts with available workers based on experience, location, and performance ratings. This automated process is supplemented by a dedicated consultant who reviews and confirms the match, blending technology with a human touch. Key features include real-time ETA updates via a worker clock-in system, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and the ability to manage all assignments within the platform. Since its inception, the company has attracted significant investment, totaling over $3 million across several funding rounds to develop its technology. BuzzHire was later acquired by Berry Recruitment Group (BRG), a move that provided substantial backing and integrated the platform into a larger, established recruitment framework.
