Two ways to get the day covered
One local staffing workspace, with a clear path for each side.
The pilot is free. Pilot participation, professional credentials, and office W-2 readiness need approval before booking. Offices employ and pay temps through their payroll provider. Posting a shift does not guarantee it will be filled.

A few things to know
Know how bookings, pay, and approvals work before your first temp shift.
Create your profile, then apply to the free pilot. Approved professionals can choose available days, request shifts, confirm final offers, and submit hours. Approved offices can post after payroll readiness is reviewed. Shift updates appear in your inbox; supported devices can enable browser push. No payment card is needed.
Profiles start as pending review. Submitted dates and missing documents are checked automatically; authorized reviewers confirm board status, CPR, and training independently. Automatic state-board verification is not connected. Required credentials and office supervision must fit the actual work before a shift can be booked.
Yes: this network requires employee payroll, not 1099 payments. The office is the employer and handles wages, required insurance, taxes, and onboarding through its payroll provider. Payroll readiness is reviewed, and the office confirms each person’s onboarding before offering a shift. HSSD records hours and agreements; it does not run payroll.
Yes. The pilot workspace works in a mobile browser and can be added to your home screen. Your account’s days and bookings stay saved across devices. On iPhone, add it to your home screen before enabling device alerts. Native iOS and Android store releases are still in preparation.
