The problem
Traditional hiring for shift roles is broken — slow, expensive, and full of people who don't pitch.
Agency fees of R5,000–R12,000 per successful placement
14–21 day recruitment cycles for urgent shift cover
No verification — anyone can claim any experience
No-shows with no recourse or replacement
The outcome
Verified candidates, matched in minutes, with no cost until the shift succeeds.
R0 upfront — pay only on successful trial completion
Average fill time under 6 hours for most shifts
Every candidate SA ID verified and pre-assessed

How it works
From open shift to filled shift — in a few hours.
Post your shift
Describe the role, location, start time, and rate. AI immediately matches it against your assessment criteria and our verified candidate database.
AI matches and notifies
Candidates who meet your role requirements — sorted by assessment score, rating, and proximity — receive instant WhatsApp notifications. Verified, pre-screened applicants confirm interest.
Trial shift — pay on success
The candidate works the shift. If it goes well, you confirm and pay. If not, you owe nothing. After a successful trial, you can convert to a permanent placement or book again.
