Episode 19: Understanding Staffing Tech Stacks with Lauren Jones and Jack Copeland

On this episode of the You Own the Experience podcast, Robert Mann is joined by Lauren Jones, Founder of Leap Consulting Solutions, and Jack Copeland, CEO & Co-Founder of Staffing Future. As a pair of tech-focused minds whose talents have been directed at the staffing industry, there’s no better pair to tackle an all too ubiquitous yet all too confusing nine-letter phrase: tech stack.

Mann, Jones, and Copeland take a birds-eye view of staffing tech stacks: where to begin, how they work, and the importance of integration. They discuss the common hesitancy that small staffing firms feel towards such technology, and why these feelings really need to be addressed now.

The trio also chat about:

• The role of COVID in highlighting the importance of tech
• The process of creating your own tech stack
• The benefits that you can expect from your investment
• Why watercraft serve as perfect metaphors for the staffing industry
