Shiftsmart

Marketplace connecting flexible shifts to workers

Overview

Shiftsmart runs a digital marketplace that connects workers with flexible, temporary shifts for large brands, government agencies, and nonprofits. Workers sign up, browse available shifts, and pick those that fit their schedules, while businesses post shift needs and get matched with suitable workers; the platform also offers scheduling and optional workforce management tools. It differentiates itself by serving bigger organizations with a scalable, flexible workforce and by its Get Shift Done social program that supports nonprofits and raises stability for workers. The goal is to provide a reliable, flexible staffing solution for businesses while giving workers more control over their schedules and making a positive social impact.
