Spur adds five to management team and opens 75 positions for 2019

Worker-centric online staffing company launched in Alabama in 2017, Spur, has recently added five new hires to the management team. The company is continuing to grow its team in 2019, with over 75 new hires anticipated in software development/engineering, marketing, sales, and operations.

Spur's need to grow its corporate team is a direct result of the company's tremendous growth in 2018. Spur provides a mobile and web-based staffing platform for workers and workplaces to connect with one another for filling hourly jobs. The company has expanded its services to various organizations in seven new states in 2018 and plans for continued expansion in new and existing markets in 2019.

Spur's vision is to be the most worker-centric staffing company by providing endless opportunities for workers to improve their lives through reliable work opportunities, access to better quality benefits, and more training opportunities. To help deliver on its vision, Spur has hired five key employees over the past six months with expertise from operations and sales to finance and digital marketing:

She relocated to Huntsville from Washington, D.C. in early 2018 and joined Spur in June as the company's new Director of Worker Engagement. In her position, Moore is managing a team focused on increasing Spur's worker satisfaction by helping workers access new opportunities on Spur, as well as helping them to grow their careers through training and development opportunities.

The entire Spur team works diligently to make a positive impact on all of the workers and workplaces who use the Spur platform. That focus on workers extends to the company's corporate team members who enjoy competitive salaries and benefits, including stock options for all employees and a flexible work environment. Perks include gym memberships, free books, and group book studies, catered meals, lunch-n-learns, socials, and provisions for conferences and learning.
