Jombone

A name that signifies a unique recruiting model and cutting-edge human capital technologies, Jombone is a company with a mission to help businesses hire, staff, and manage quality temporary workers with ease and precision. With its innovative platform that unifies all worker acquisition and staff management processes, Jombone is reshaping the blue-collar staffing industry.

“At Jombone, we pride ourselves as a leader in providing a disruptive marketplace to transform how businesses acquire blue-collar workers,” says Garima Sahdev, co-founder and Head of Recruitment at Jombone.

According to her, the Jombone platform functions as a 360-degree human capital management solution, enabling businesses to take better control and hire bluecollar workers fully compliant with employment and labor laws.

“We use modern engagement-based recruitment and acquisition methods to help clients hire and manage their workforce cost-effectively, with 100 percent digitalization and end-to-end staffing process automation,” notes Sahdev.

Despite the growing turnover rates in the blue-collar industry, it has established a reputation for offering a reliable way to hire and retain workers best suited for diverse organizational needs. Jombone’s communityrecruitment model is run by a ‘community recruiters’ team that creates network pools of localized and employment-ready workers organized by industrial segments. This hub of blue-collar workers allows businesses to source their workforce directly from the communities in which they operate.

The enhanced emphasis on recruiting workers locally enables firms to staff reliable personnel with shorter commutes, low chances of turnover, and a high likelihood of placements and replacements.

“We have a saying at Jombone: ’Talent is talent, but local talent is happy talent,’” states Sahdev. She further explains, “The first question that flashes in the minds of most blue-collar workers is, ‘How far is the workplace from my home?’” Through its real-time integration with public transit data and Google Places API, Jombone allows businesses to filter and hire candidates by commute distance, further sweetening the deal for local hires more likely to show up and remain at a firm for the long term.

From a worker’s perspective, the platform enables candidates to access real-time transit information about a potential job, make an informed decision, and apply for best-suited opportunities in a single click.

Sahdev highlights that businesses must align with future workforce dynamics centered primarily on Gen-Zs and find new, universally-acceptable, scalable talent acquisition models. Recognizing this, Jombone employs a mobilefriendly social networking strategy, which allows clients to have fundamentally different perspectives on understanding their engagement needs and motivational factors.

Features like ‘Profile Reels’ or ‘Profile Stories’ help candidates conveniently pitch their merits to companies. These profile stories also bring a significant advantage for businesses, ensuring simpler, personalized, and credible selection processes that are both time- and cost-effective. Concurrently, the Jombone platform helps streamline communication between workers and companies and facilitates employment law compliance, significantly improving recruitment efficacy.

Jombone’s capabilities go beyond the hiring process as a self-service platform that consolidates all the nuances of HR administration under one umbrella. From shift scheduling, worker training, and task management to facial recognitionbased time entry, automatic rules-based timesheet approvals, and auto-payroll processing, businesses can use the platform to complete their staffing cycle without human intervention.

We’re not satisfied with the status quo, and therefore, we emphasize helping businesses boost the three primary arms of human capital management— workforce acquisition, management, and optimization— while our dedicated R&D team is always looking for ways to do it better

An example of Jombone’s impact is an engagement where a client needed to hire over 200 workers quickly when transitioning from three warehouses to a more extensive distribution center. “Using the community-recruitment model, this client could rapidly hire and staff approximately 200 people in less than two weeks. Thanks to our quick turnaround time and exceptional and localized workforce, the client could complete their shifting project ahead of schedule and save $400,000,” adds Sahdev.

At the heart of these successes lies Jombone’s commitment to constantly understanding business problems and bringing innovative solutions to solve them. Its integration with ride-share companies to boost carpooling for workers going to the same workplace destination is an excellent example of such innovation. Jombone also works with leading researchers to incorporate AI and ML algorithms into its community-recruitment model to enhance recruitment and workforce management efficiencies.

Forging ahead, Jombone aims to continue driving the evolution of modern staffing. Sahdev concludes, “We’re not satisfied with the status quo, and therefore, we emphasize helping businesses boost the three primary arms of human capital management—workforce acquisition, management, and optimization—while our dedicated R&D team is always looking for ways to do it better.”
