SYRACUSE, NY. – Plowz & Mowz, an outdoor home services marketplace, has launched its new service PlowzJobz.
The Plowz & Mowz mobile app aids homeowners with finding on-demand landscaping solutions, and now PlowzJobz supports landscaping companies with finding additional quality candidates to meet these needs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Landscaping has the second-worst unemployment rate by industry – only construction has it beat.” Based on those same statistics, there are 6.7 million job openings and only 6.4 million available workers, creating a significant labor shortage for the landscaping industry.
The recruitment platform, PlowzJobz, will be introduced at no charge to thousands of job seekers, as well as landscapers and snow plowing companies on the Plowz & Mowz platform. Plowz & Mowz affiliated landscaping companies may quickly "tap" qualified candidates to join their crews, side by side, to where they are onboarding new customers to their daily routes.
“The lack of labor is a prevalent concern plaguing the landscaping industry, and we hear it first-hand from the thousands of landscaping and plowing companies across our network," said Wills Mahoney, the company's co-founder. "In just this past month, the average landscaping company checked their partner app an average of 94 times a day across 50 cities. This unparalleled daily engagement uniquely positions Plowz & Mowz to tackle this core labor issue.”
Along with PlowzJobz, the company is adding PlowzTalk to its suite of in-app offerings. PlowzTalk allows instant voice communication between landscaping crew members while working in the field. The app also offers Auto Route, making partners drastically more efficient and profitable in their current workflow. Plowz & Mowz has been able to integrate these new features into its already existing landscaper app which includes:
