Yet for many hourly workers, applying for positions is an exhausting and inefficient process-one that can take hours of filling out applications just to secure a single interview. <a href=\"https:\/\/getgigs.co\/\">Gigs<\/a>, an innovative job platform founded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/allen-narcisse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Allen Narcisse<\/a>, is solving this problem using Al to simplify job applications, helping job seekers land jobs faster and with less frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/?wt.mc_id=gigs_blog_blog_mfsmktg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Azure<\/a>, Gigs leverages Al to streamline applications, quickly connect job seekers with the right opportunities, and improve hiring outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more than nine million jobs listed and a quarter of a million job seekers, Gigs is not only streamlining the process but also reimagining how job platforms serve workers. Backed by leading Los Angeles-based investors\u2014Struck Capital, Slauson &amp; Co., Wonder Ventures, and Karman Ventures\u2014Gigs is on a mission to make job searching more accessible, fair, and efficient.\u00a0<br><br>For founders building Al-driven solutions, Microsoft Azure offers the scalability and infrastructure to power seamless growth. <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/?wt.mc_id=gigs_blog_blog_mfsmktg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start building today<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The problem: A fragmented job market\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For hourly workers, the job search process is riddled with inefficiencies. Traditional job boards require applicants to repeatedly fill out the same information across different postings, and many never hear back after submitting applications.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allen explains, <em>\u201cThe average job seeker spends 25 hours completing applications. To get an hourly job, you have to complete 200 applications, and typically, you only hear back from only 10% of companies. That redundancy and frustration is what we\u2019re solving.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This insight led Allen to create Gigs, a platform designed to empower job seekers by reducing redundancy and improving application outcomes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The power of AI: Smart job matching\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of Gigs is its AI-driven approach to job applications. By using AI, the platform automates the application process, helping job seekers seamlessly apply to multiple roles without having to manually input the same details over and over again.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cAnd what AI allows us to do is understand that common application question, your resume, and your profile\u2014and deploy it to multiple applications,\u201d <\/em>says Allen. <em>\u201cSo, when one application says, \u2018Tell us about your kitchen experience,\u2019 and another asks, \u2018Do you have three years of kitchen experience?\u2019 the AI can solve that problem for the job seeker while helping the applicant look their best to employers.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond simplifying applications, AI also plays a crucial role in addressing a long-standing data problem in job listings. Many job postings lack essential details, such as pay ranges or location information, making it harder for applicants to make informed decisions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThere\u2019s a really strong \u2018why now\u2019 in the job space for AI,\u201d <\/em>Allen explains. <em>\u201cA lot of jobs don\u2019t even have a pay range attached. Some states require salary transparency, while others don\u2019t. That inconsistency makes it difficult for job seekers, especially hourly workers who care deeply about pay and location.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gigs also bridges the gap between disparate job boards and applicant tracking systems, allowing job seekers to apply across multiple platforms without creating numerous accounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhat AI allows you to do is just talk to all the systems without actually having to log in,\u201d <\/em>Allen says. <em>\u201cThat\u2019s the real big difference\u2014it\u2019s fast, cheap, and consistent.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scaling with Microsoft Azure&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Gigs continues to grow, AI has become central to its ability to scale and differentiate in a crowded job-tech space. A pivotal moment for the company came when one of its investors advised Allen to leverage Microsoft Azure for its speed and efficiency.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhen one of my investors advised using Azure because of the speed of processing as a key strength, that sort of sparked going down this road of thinking about how we can build this application technology in a way that processes as quickly as we possibly could,\u201d <\/em>Allen shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift has been instrumental in helping Gigs scale, process applications faster, and provide a seamless experience for job seekers and employers alike.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A mission-driven approach to hiring\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Allen, building Gigs is about more than just technology\u2014it&#8217;s about impact. Having worked for some of the biggest names in the ride-sharing industry, he understands firsthand the challenges hourly workers face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cFor me, it&#8217;s important to match the financial opportunity with the impact on other people,\u201d <\/em>he says. <em>\u201cWe\u2019re not here for a long time, and I want to make sure that the work I do and the work that my team does is for the mission\u2014and that the mission is a worthy, worthy thing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a founder, Allen also recognizes the broader implications of Gigs&#8217; work. The platform is designed to serve everyone, but it has the potential to create meaningful change for underrepresented and underserved communities in the job market.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThree out of five people in the United States are thinking about their next paycheck. If platforms actually listened to job seekers, we\u2019d have a much better economy. That\u2019s why I\u2019m passionate about this work.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The future of job search\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gigs is not just another job board\u2014it\u2019s a movement toward a fairer, more efficient hiring ecosystem. With AI at its core, Gigs is making it easier for job seekers to apply for roles, increasing their chances of landing interviews, and ensuring that companies connect with qualified candidates faster.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With backing from top investors, a strategic partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/?wt.mc_id=gigs_blog_blog_mfsmktg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Azure<\/a>, and an unwavering commitment to empowering workers, Gigs is set to redefine the job search experience for millions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Allen puts it: <em>\u201cEven as a small company at the beginning of our journey, we see the massive potential of what we\u2019re building. And that\u2019s what excites me most.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/getgigs.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up for Gigs now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding a job shouldn\u2019t be a full-time job.
