I have a friend who is a general manager that deals in part-time, odd hour unskilled labor who spoke of a similar story.

What do you think, time to build and monetize a solution to solve this problem?

I think I have some ideas to help with this type of worker onboarding and retention, personally.

At the very least, it'd be worth contacting the noshows and finding out the reasons, encouraging them to be honest. Work out what it might be -

  - got another job but forgot to tell you
  - changed my mind
  - just too tired or busy
  - didn't think I had a real chance, so I didn't bother
  - too nervous about the interview
