How do I apply and bid for posted Shifts?

This only applies to 1099 Shifts. If you're applying to a W-2 Shift, bidding isn't required. The Requester sets the hourly rate, and you can simply apply. See How do I accept an offer for more details.

In order to be considered for a 1099 Shift, you must submit an application with a bid.

Once you find your desired Shift opportunity:

• Select the "Submit a Bid" button after reading the Shift details.
• If you do not have the Position required for the Shift already added to your profile, you will be prompted to answer if you are able to complete the work or not. If you select Yes, the Position will be automatically saved to your Profile and you can follow through with applying to the Shift. If you answer No, you will be taken back to the Browse page, as you do not have the required experience to work that Shift.
• If the Shift has required Qualifications, you will need to confirm that you meet the requirements. If you select Yes to all of the required Qualifications, you can continue with the application process. If you select No to any of the required Qualifications, you will be taken back to the Browse page, as you do not meet the requirements to work that Shift.
• If the Shift you're bidding on has multiple shifts available, you can check the boxes to select which dates and times you would like to apply. 
• Then you will need to select your bid amount. If there are multiple Shifts you are bidding on, you can choose to bid the same amount for all Shifts or turn the toggle off to customize the bid for each Shift.
• Complete the Application Questionnaire to give the Requester further information on why you are the best fit for their Shift.
• When you finish, submit your bid application. Next, the Requester will decide whether or not to make an offer to you based on your bid.
• The Requester can counter your bid with a new amount if they would like. At this point, you can accept the new offer, reject it, or counter back with a different amount.
• If the Requester accepts your bid and you are offered the Shift, you will receive a notification on the Get Gigs app, an SMS message, and an email prompting you to reject or accept the offer in the Get Gigs app.
• If you reject the offer, the Requester will receive a notification letting them know you are no longer available.
• If you accept the offer, you're confirming your availability to work the Shift, and the Requester will be notified. Once you accept the offer, you are officially hired, and you are expected to show up and complete the work requested at the Shift start time.
