Three ways we
can help you.

For core roles of 6 months or more. We find people who'll grow with your establishment — not just fill a seat.

10% of first 6 months CTC
Regular Work
Casual & Part-Time

Recurring but non-permanent — weekend shifts, limited days per week. Structured to flex around how your venue runs.

10% of agreed shift rate / month

Staff on Demand

Events, stand-ins, and last-minute cover. We move fast without cutting corners on fit.

For Professionals
I'm looking for
work in hospitality.

Waiters, bartenders, baristas, chefs, and more. Register with ClearShift and we'll contact you when a suitable opportunity arises. We don't employ you — we connect you with the right establishment.

Registration is the only way to be considered.

We've worked both
sides of this industry.

"We've been the professional scrambling for work. We've been the establishment scrambling for cover. We built ClearShift because we knew both sides deserved better."

The ClearShift team has real, first-hand experience on both sides of the industry. As professionals earlier in our careers — behind the bar, on the floor, in the kitchen. And as people who currently own, run, and operate hospitality establishments.

We're not observers. We're still active in the industry today. That means when we make an introduction, we understand exactly what both sides need — and what's at stake when it goes wrong.
