FRS Recruitment has completed the purchase of Get the Shifts, the on-demand staffing platform founded by Hannah Wrixon.

Get the Shifts provides on demand temporary hospitality, retail and marketing personnel. Their service can be accessed through the platform from a mobile or desktop device 24/7 and staff can be supplied with as little as three hours’ notice.
