Former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal also contributed to the round and will be joining the team as an advisor and advocate for the startup’s customer base. Steady’s platform connects prospective workers that want to find on-demand or contract work with opportunities tailored to fit their qualifications, interests, geography and availability.

The mobile platform also allows workers to manage all these gigs in one place AllyO AllyO, the end-to-end AI recruiter, this week announces the latest advancement to its recruiting solution: AllyO New Hire Check-ins. While AllyO has traditionally assisted organizations and candidates through their entire hiring funnel from “Hi to Hire,” the addition of New Hire Check-ins allows AllyO to be the single point-of-contact for everyone involved across hiring and retention – including recruiters, talent acquisition leaders, hiring managers, candidates, and current employees. This latest generation of AllyO’s platform enables HR professionals to check-in with new hires several times within their first 90 days on the job by asking customized questions like: “How happy are you in your new role?” and “Do you feel you are well-trained for the job?” The responses provide hiring teams with actionable feedback to improve retention. This new functionality also increases efficiency among HR teams by eliminating the need to manually check-in with candidates on their opinions about the hiring, onboarding and training processes.
