Account Management Support That Gets Mentioned by Name—Again and Again

Flexible Staffing Where You’re In Control

Upshift is the easiest-to-use staffing platform

Manage shifts and scheduling in a few clicks

One short form: role, hours, how many people and the hourly pay. Next time, copy a past shift, change the date and post it again.

Fill your shifts with the best candidates, matched based on experience and reviews

Upshift matches each shift to workers by their past roles, hours worked and ratings. You see every worker's full profile before they arrive.

Know who’s confirmed for each shift ahead of time

Each name shows up as people confirm the shift. When it starts, you see who has clocked in, on your phone or computer.

Set your own worker pay rates

You set the hourly pay for every shift. If a shift is hard to fill, raise the rate for just that shift.

Favorite your best workers and block others with no awkward conversations

Your favorites get first access to your shifts. Block someone and they cannot take your shifts again. No phone call needed.
