A new app is offering employment on-demand for Millennials. Gig allows users to look for and book shift work in hospitality and retail sectors, and offers automatic pay within 24 hours after the job is completed. According to a co-founder: “Millennials want instant gratification, they want and get it with travel (Uber), takeaway (Deliveroo) and retail (Amazon same day delivery), but they are yet to get it with work.” The founders believe that Millennials are willing to give up the secure but tedious process of obtaining a job, figuring out a schedule, and getting paid, in exchange for flexibility and immediacy.
