Hire Staff
Connecting hospitality establishments with reliable people - without the friction of traditional recruitment.
ClearShift helps restaurants, bars, hotels, and event venues find the right people when they need them — whether that’s for a shift, a short-term arrangement, or a permanent role.
ClearShift already supports a growing network of hospitality venues across Cape Town.
We’re not a recruitment agency and we’re not an employer.
ClearShift connects establishments with hospitality professionals. All work arrangements and payments are agreed directly between the establishment and the professional.
We act as a connector and coordinator, focusing on quality matches, clear expectations, and calm execution.
We maintain a curated database of hospitality professionals across Cape Town, allowing us to move quickly while still prioritising fit.
Most professionals in our network come through referrals, industry experience, or previous placements, which helps maintain quality and reliability.
How ClearShift helps
When a request comes in, we identify suitable professionals from our network and introduce you directly.
→ Access a trusted pool of hospitality professionals
→ Professionals who already understand hospitality pace and service standards
→ Flexible staffing options that match real-world operations
→ Less back-and-forth, clearer expectations
→ Support that’s hands-on without being heavy
How we work
ClearShift isn’t a middleman adding markups to hourly rates. We charge a clear coordination fee for connecting the right professionals with the right venue.
We focus on fit, speed, and clarity — especially when timing matters.
Our coordination fees are simple and transparent, and depend on the type of engagement.
-
Request. Tell us what you need - whether it’s one person for a Saturday night or a new floor manager.
-
Match. We tap into our vetted network to find professionals who fit your specific culture and requirements.
-
We introduce you. The establishment pays the professional directly, and ClearShift charges a transparent coordination fee for the connection and support
ClearShift supports three clear engagement types:
→ Permanent staff — for long‑term, core roles
→ Staff on Demand — for events, stand‑in, or ad‑hoc shifts
→ Casual / Part‑Time staff — for regular but non‑permanent work
Each option is designed to keep things fair, predictable, and aligned with how hospitality actually operates.
