We designed WorkBriefly to make finding and offering work to frontline workers a simple and affordable process:
- Create and post a job/gig so that workers can decide if it’s a good fit for them.
- Choose to invite recommended workers who we think would be most suited for the job or accept applicants.
- The job gets accepted by verified worker(s), reducing the time and cost of recruiting compared to traditional staffing solutions.
- Rate worker(s) after a job is completed and their payment is processed through WorkBriefly.
Customers get access to a business portal where posting jobs is fast and easy. Simply enter the pay rate, start and end time, location, and job description with any specific requirements (such as ability to lift 50 lb). Our proprietary algorithm shows your job posting to the best matches. Both last-minute and temp-to-perm jobs are filled in less than 20 minutes on average.
In the event that a cancellation is made less than 24 hours before the performance of the service is to begin, you will be required to pay half of the cost of the Service Engagement. The cost includes both the payment to the WorkBriefly Worker and the fee paid to WorkBriefly.
