These same operators are now coming back to life and looking for employees in a historically tight labor market." Mr. Diekema stated, "ShiftPixy was in front of many national multi-unit QSR operators pre-COVID, and we now get to circle back to those operators who are currently trying to rebound from the COVID disruption. Our large and rapidly growing national population of food service workers are ready to go to work and fill the many job openings in the industry." Commenting on the appointment of Mr. Dominguez as CSO, Mr. Absher stated, "We were fortunate to have met Eddy amidst our staffing industry acquisition work and invited him to become part of our leadership team, allowing us to quickly benefit from his extensive industry expertise. We saw an opportunity to leverage Eddy's industry knowledge and connections with numerous national staffing accounts in order to bring the benefits of ShiftPixy Staffing to the national marketplace." Mr. Dominguez remarked, "The ShiftPixy technology platform is a game changer for the staffing industry nationally. My national accounts team will be able to deliver one of the fastest fill rates and the best real time human capital business intelligence in the industry. We look forward to becoming a valuable partner to large national accounts, with initiatives that are designed to facilitate rapid organic growth by leveraging our technology to keep our clients' benches full."
