How do I post a shift?

Follow these simple steps to post your first shift.

You'll use 2 building blocks to create a Shift: Positions & Locations.

  • You'll want to create at least 1 position and at least 1 location in order to create a Shift.

Create a Location:

  • Fill in your location's name and address, then add your Arrival Instructions - be specific enough that a worker knows exactly where to go and who to check in with when they arrive (for example, "find the blue office door on the left side of the building").
  • From there you'll move through Parking Location, Staff, and Payment Method before reviewing and saving the location.

Create a Position:

  • Write a clear, specific description of the position's responsibilities - this helps workers know exactly what to expect before they apply. You can also upload photos or documents for workers to see, and choose whether to turn on Shift Group Chat to message your scheduled workers directly.

  • From there you'll continue through Category, Role, and Travel & Delivery, then choose the Qualifications workers need for this position.

  • Only select what's truly required - this can include Licenses & Certifications, Experience, Physical Requirements, Attire, and Tools & Equipment. Workers self-confirm that they meet whatever you choose, so keep the list to what actually matters for the job.

  • From there, add any optional Add-Ons, set your Offered Rate, and review before saving the position.

Once you have at least 1 location and 1 position created, you're ready to post your first Shift!

New to GigSmart? A few tips for your first shift:  Overwrite your details rather than underwrite them - the more specific you are up front, the fewer questions you'll get.

Check similar shifts in your area to help set a competitive rate. And when you can, post with a little lead time - same-day shifts can absolutely fill, but extra notice widens who's available to say yes.
