The Covid-19 health crisis has left employers with stability issues that a fixed labor model is no longer suitable for. With many companies forced to cut back on labor, but still needing to hire new talent for specific work needs for varying lengths of time, Texas start up company Veryable's mobile app helps employer post "Ops" for workers, known as "Operators" who match specific criteria. The company's name reflects their efforts to help “variablize” labor costs, allowing companies more flexibility based on fluctuating output, by creating a place for on-demand labor in the manufacturing, warehousing, supply chain, and transportation industries. For each Op completed, the Operator receives a performance rating, which - if positive - would improve an Operator’s chances of getting future Ops. Removing hiring companies as the middleman would help employers, who had been struggling to recruit talented labor that they could not afford full-time, find employees who weren't able to work full-time.
