Patent number: 12602634Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods described herein include receiving by a quantum hybrid branch simulation engine, a request for a next task by a branch personnel or worker. The branch simulation engine may receive data representing a simulated branch environment and apply a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) staffing operations model to predict a next action or task. The model may weigh impacts of a reward to substantially maximize the reward in light of a policy to determine the next action and update a database to store/represent a next state of the simulated or real-life branch environment after the next action is performed.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2023Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Assignee: TRUEBLUE, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey S. Dirks, Jatin Malhotra, Meishelle Lynn HaverKamp, Carlos A. Lara Maldonado, Mathew Wolfe

Patent number: 12585869Abstract: Disclosed is a platform that manages worker users in a temporary staffing environment via an artificial machine learning model. The temporary staffing platform matches available workers to available shifts/gigs. Additional features include generating provisional or near-miss matches and informing workers how to turn those near-misses into full matches, plotting a gig-career path to develop additional skills, gamify development, and automatically generate resumes. The platform generates a set of skill tags associated with each shift/gig performed by the user. Designing of resume text files by the artificial machine learning model includes procedurally generated descriptions of experience the a user has based on the recording of each shift/gig performed by the user and the skill tags associated with each recorded shift/gig, wherein a format of the resume text file is formulated by the artificial machine learning model evaluating a mix of skill tags and employers amassed by the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2024Date of Patent: March 24, 2026Assignee: TrueBlue, Inc.Inventors: Christopher A Kapcar, Richard Paul Betori, Jeffrey Howard Rash, Robert Michael Ward, Jeffrey S. Dirks, Jeroen Anton Decker, Shawn David Dillenbeck
