Frequently asked questions
-
How quickly can I find workers on GigSmart?
You can post a shift and start receiving worker matches within minutes. Thanks to our AI-powered hiring assistant, Smart Hire, your open shifts are automatically matched first with your favorite and repeat workers, then with the most qualified workers nearby.
-
Can I manage shifts and workers in real time?
Yes. GigSmart for Business gives you complete visibility and control. You can track worker location with GPS-based geofencing, view live clocks, pause or extend shifts, and verify timesheets against GPS data before approving payment—all from one dashboard.
-
What if I want to hire a worker full-time?
That’s easy. If you bring a worker on as a W2 employee, there’s no fee. For non-W2 hires, there’s a simple one-time $500 direct payment fee—no hidden costs or long-term contracts.
