How our recruitment service works

From postcode to placement, managed by people

  1. 01

    Register once

    Candidates register free with their postcode, availability and CV. Employers add their business details and workplace postcode.

  2. 02

    Tell us who you need

    A hotel manager requests staff in under two minutes: role, number of people, shift pattern, pay range and urgency.

  3. 03

    We match by distance

    Our engine calculates the real distance from each candidate's home postcode and ranks them on category, experience, availability and shifts.

  4. 04

    Authorised introductions

    Candidates are asked first. Only after they accept does Shiftly share their details with the employer.

  5. 05

    Placement and commission

    Interviews and placements are recorded, with fees agreed contractually with the employer before anyone starts.

Location-based recruitment

Candidates who can actually get to work

Every candidate has a home postcode and a maximum travel distance. Every staffing request has a workplace postcode. We geocode both and calculate the real distance between them, so a shortlist only ever contains people who can realistically cover the shift.

See how employers request staff

Example request

A hotel at Heathrow needs five housekeepers for early shifts.

The request carries the workplace postcode. We search registered candidates in Hounslow, Feltham, Southall, Hayes and the surrounding area, keep only those inside the employer's travel radius and rank them by category, experience, availability and shift preference.

  • Candidates see an approximate distance, never a full address
  • Employers see first names and match scores, not contact details
  • A candidate is only introduced after they accept
