South Africa's shift marketplace
A marketplace connecting people who want to earn with venues that need them. Open shifts, clear pay, zero commitment.
ShiftLink was founded on a straightforward observation: businesses across South Africa have open shifts they can't fill fast enough, and capable people have time they can't easily turn into income.
We built a marketplace to close that gap — giving people the freedom to choose when and where they work, and giving businesses fast, reliable access to verified, available people without agencies or long-term commitments.
ShiftLink removes the friction from short-term staffing. Businesses post open shifts and get matched to available, qualified people — no phone calls, no agencies, no delay.
Describe the role, set the hours, and publish the rate. Your shift goes live immediately and is matched to available people in your area.
Browse profiles — ratings, experience, availability — and confirm who you want. No agency calls, no CVs, no back-and-forth.
Check-in is logged via the app. Payment is processed through the platform. You receive one clean invoice. Zero admin.
ShiftLink is a marketplace platform. We connect you — as an independent user — with businesses that have open shifts to fill. You choose what you accept, when you work, and where you go.
Your data is protected under POPIA. We verify who you are — and who the businesses are.
Browse open shifts near you. Accept what fits. Decline what doesn't. No obligations, no consequences.
Restaurants, retailers, hotels, and hospitality operations use ShiftLink to cover last-minute gaps, plan for peak periods, and end their reliance on expensive agencies — without employment contracts or long-term commitments.
ShiftLink (Pty) Ltd is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act No. 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

ShiftLink is South Africa's shift marketplace. We give restaurants, retailers, hotels, and hospitality businesses on-demand access to available, verified people — without agencies, without contracts, and without the overhead.
Traditional staffing agencies charge retainers, lock you into contracts, and mark up rates significantly. ShiftLink charges a transparent per-shift platform fee — only when a shift is successfully completed. No upfront costs, no minimums, no surprises.
Every user on ShiftLink is identity-verified. You can view their shift history, ratings from other businesses, skills, and availability before you confirm.
Post a shift and ShiftLink immediately surfaces nearby, available users. Our platform is designed so that most same-day shifts can be confirmed within hours of posting.
Your business dashboard shows every shift posted, every confirmation, every check-in, and every invoice — all in one place.
ShiftLink is not a labour broker. Users are independent marketplace participants — not employees of ShiftLink or of your business by virtue of using the platform. Consult a qualified labour law practitioner if uncertain about your obligations.
ShiftLink was founded on a straightforward observation: businesses across South Africa have open shifts they can't fill fast enough, and capable people have time they can't easily turn into income. We built a marketplace to close that gap.
To empower people to work when it suits them by making shift work simple, fast, and accessible — and to give businesses a reliable, cost-effective way to fill open shifts without agency dependency.
A South Africa where no open shift goes unfilled — and where anyone with time and ability can turn that into real, fairly paid income.
ShiftLink is a technology marketplace. We are not a staffing agency. We are not an employer. We operate a platform on which businesses post open shifts and individuals choose to accept them.
