Fast Workforce

What Fast Workforce does

Fast Workforce, operated by FastRecruiting, Inc. (a California corporation), is a privately held cloud-based SaaS company that provides an integrated platform covering the full HR lifecycle for high-volume hiring industries. The platform is anchored by Fast Recruiting, a web-based applicant tracking system that manages job posting, screening, hiring, and onboarding, and is extended by five add-on modules: Fast Docs (paperless document distribution, digital wet-signatures, remote I-9 video verification), Fast Trainer (LMS for video-based training, quizzes, and certification tracking), Fast Scheduling (drag-and-drop shift scheduling with calendar and payroll integration), Fast Social (multi-platform social recruiting and employee referrals), and Fast Screening (integrated background checks, drug screening, and FCRA/EEOC compliance tooling). A construction-focused sub-brand, CraftWRX, extends the offering into the construction vertical. The company is a Certified E-Verify Agent with mandatory photo matching and holds GDPR and CCPA compliance attestations.

The platform is sold on a subscription basis via Order Forms or Subscription Agreements (quote-based, not publicly priced), targeting enterprise and mid-market clients in verticals including restaurants, hospitality, event security, gig staffing, skilled trades staffing, ground transportation, and construction. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales with a tiered demo funnel (15/30/60-minute sessions), complemented by SEO-led inbound and partner referrals from integrations with ADP, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, JobTarget, DISA, Verified First, and Spark Hire. According to the company's website, more than 500 enterprise clients across all 50 U.S. states use the platform to manage over 1M+ employees. Implementation follows a four-phase methodology (Discovery, Configuration, Training, Ongoing Support).

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors. It operates with a very lean headcount (1–10 employees per firmographics), suggesting a capital-light operating model. In 2024 the company introduced AI-powered features (Smart Pre-Screen and smart candidate matching), the most recent material product evolution since the 2016 cloud platform launch and 2019 national expansion.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• ADP Workforce Now: Large-scale HCM and payroll platform with embedded recruitment and onboarding modules; FastWorkforce's ADP integration partnership reflects the overlap, and ADP competes for the same mid-market HR budget.
• Greenhouse: Established enterprise ATS and recruiting platform with broad HR ecosystem integrations; competes with FastWorkforce's ATS in larger accounts while operating at higher price points and broader scope.
• iCIMS: Enterprise talent acquisition platform offering ATS, CRM, and onboarding at scale — a broader incumbent alternative for organizations evaluating FastWorkforce for high-volume hiring.

Direct peers

• 7shifts: Restaurant-focused employee scheduling, team management, and hiring platform; overlaps with FastWorkforce's restaurant vertical on scheduling and front/back-of-house workforce management.
• BambooHR: Cloud-based HR platform for SMB and mid-market employers offering ATS, onboarding, performance, and time tracking — directly comparable to FastWorkforce's full-lifecycle HR SaaS approach for smaller and growing employers.
• Workable: SMB and mid-market ATS and recruiting platform with sourcing, screening, and HRIS-light workflows — comparable to FastWorkforce's core Fast Recruiting ATS for similar customer segments.
• Gusto: All-in-one HR, payroll, and benefits platform for SMBs that increasingly bundles hiring/ATS capabilities — a comparable bundled SaaS play for small employers that overlaps with FastWorkforce's payroll-adjacent integrations.
• Deputy: Workforce management SaaS covering scheduling, timesheets, and shift swapping for hourly industries — directly comparable to FastWorkforce's Fast Scheduling module across hourly verticals.
• Harri: Vertical SaaS platform purpose-built for the restaurant and hospitality industry, covering hiring, scheduling, and workforce management — a direct vertical competitor to FastWorkforce's restaurant and hospitality solutions.

Emerging players

• ZipRecruiter: Job marketplace with growing ATS and hiring workflow capabilities for SMB employers; complements FastWorkforce via integration but increasingly overlaps as it moves upmarket into recruiting software.
