Tue, 4 Mar 2014The Indian Angel Network (IAN), an Asian network of over 250 investors, has made its first UK investment in recruitment software start-up SwiftShift.

The IAN decided to invest in SwiftShift following a pitching session in London organised by the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), where seven companies presented to investors.

SwiftShift has invented a software solution that allows companies to quickly fill short notice shifts using their own staff through SMS, email, and mobile technology.

The software enables companies to reduce overall payroll, reduce the amount of shifts/hours lost to absence, increase transactions and make better use of current staff.
