Businesses

Shiftly makes it easy to connect with reliable student workers—without the hassle of hiring. Whether you need help for a busy night or ongoing weekly support, we've designed the process to be fast, flexible, and low-risk.

How it Works:

1. submit a shift

Tell us when and where you need help. You'll provide:

  • Date, time, and location of the shift
  • Hourly wage (must meet or exceed state minimum wage)
  • Basic job description (ex: packaging food, dishwashing, cashier, etc.)
  • Point of contact for the day of the shift

We'll make your shift available to our pool of nearby student workers right away.

2. students apply

Students see your shift in real time and apply to claim it.

  • You will be able to see their profile and rating before confirming
  • You can reject applicants for free as long as it is 24 hours prior to the shift

Shifts are first-come, first-served–but you're always in control of who works.

3. after the shift

Once the shift is completed, we'll ask you to:

  • Rate the student on punctuality, work ethic, and professionalism
  • Confirm the shift was completed as expected
  • Leave feedback to help them grow (optional)

Shifts are first-come, first-served–but you're always in control of who works.

4. pay monthly

We take care of payments to the student directly. You'll receive an invoice once a month with:

  • A breakdown of hours worked and students who completed shifts
  • A single payment total to keep bookkeeping simple

No need to handle payments or taxes–Shiftly manages all that on your behalf.
