However, in the same industry, one business might welcome that type of employment while another will laugh the prospective employee out the door. The Gig app helps to sort these businesses, making it easier for Millennials to to find the type of job they want for an employer that's happy to have them.

To use Gig, one simply signs up on the app and schedules oneself to an open shift at the desired business. They can then pull that shift, with no obligation to return another day.

2. Gig Economy Job Matching - The Gig app's job matching algorithm could disrupt recruiting practices in the gig economy and create a new way of filling shift roles.
3. Workforce Digitalization - Gig app's mobile platform is disrupting the traditional brick-and-mortar industry by digitalizing shift-work opportunities for the workforce.

3. Mobile Workforce Management - The Gig app's mobile solution is disrupting the way employers manage their workforce, allowing them to quickly fill shift roles with trusted and vetted gig workers and reducing friction in the employment process.
