Standard job boards average 27 days to fill a position. Staffing agencies typically take 6 days for temporary roles and charge 25–50% markup on top of a worker’s hourly pay. Neither option works when you need a verified bartender or front desk worker for a match-day shift tomorrow.

Djobzy is a Vancouver-based on-demand shift platform built for exactly that gap. This page explains how it works — step by step — for both businesses that need to hire and workers looking for local shifts.

There is no app to download. Djobzy is fully web-based. Everything happens at djobzy.com. Here is exactly how Djobzy works — step by step — for both businesses that need to hire and workers looking for local shifts.

How does Djobzy work for businesses and workers?

Djobzy works by connecting Vancouver businesses that need short-term shift help with verified local workers who are ready to work nearby. Businesses can post shifts, review worker profiles and confirm bookings, while workers can create a profile, complete verification, choose job categories, browse live shifts and apply directly through djobzy.com.

WHAT DJOBZY IS — AND WHAT IT IS NOT

What Djobzy Is:

• A web-based platform for posting and finding short-term, local shifts in Vancouver
• A direct connection between verified employers and verified workers
• A location-based map that shows available workers near a business, or available shifts near a worker
• A tool built for the hospitality, hotel, retail, security and event sectors

What Djobzy Is Not:

• A staffing agency — Djobzy does not employ workers or charge a markup on their wages
• A traditional job board for permanent positions
• An app — there is nothing to download. Go to djobzy.com
• An offshore or national platform — Djobzy is local to Vancouver

HOW DJOBZY WORKS FOR BUSINESSES

Step 1: Create Your Business Profile

Go to djobzy.com and set up your employer profile. This includes your business name, type, location and the types of roles you typically hire for. Business profiles are verified before activation to ensure workers can trust the employers posting shifts.

Step 2: Post a Shift

Posting a shift takes under 2 minutes. You specify:

• The role — bartender, server, front desk, security, retail, event support, etc.
• The date and hours
• The pay rate — this is shown transparently to all workers who see your listing
• Any specific requirements — for security roles, BC licence required; for food handling, Food Safe preferred; etc.

Your shift posting goes live immediately. There is no review delay and no agency intermediary.

Step 3: See Verified Workers Near You

Djobzy’s map shows you verified workers who are near your venue and match the category you are hiring for. You can see worker profiles — including their work history, verified status and location — before making contact.

Step 4: Connect and Confirm

Contact workers directly through the platform. Confirm your match-day team. No phone tag with an agency, no 48-hour wait for a callback. The connection is direct.

Step 5: Re-book for Future Match Days

If a worker performs well on June 13, you can contact them directly through Djobzy for June 18, 21, 24, 26, July 2 and July 7. Building a pool of trusted, verified local workers across the 7 match days is straightforward once your initial connections are established.

Cost to Businesses:

There is no agency markup. You agree the hourly rate directly with the worker and that is what you pay — the rate you posted. For detailed pricing information specific to your business type and hiring volume, visit djobzy.com.

HOW DJOBZY WORKS FOR WORKERS

STEP 1: GO TO DJOBZY.COM AND CREATE YOUR PROFILE

Open djobzy.com on any device — phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to download. Create your worker profile with your name, contact details, work history and skills. Be accurate and specific — your profile is your first impression to every employer who sees it.

STEP 2: SELECT YOUR JOB CATEGORIES

Choose the sectors that match your skills and availability:

• Hospitality — servers, bartenders, bar backs, kitchen hands
• Hotel — front desk, housekeeping, concierge
• Security — requires valid BC security worker licence
• Retail — merchandise, floor staff, pop-up retail
• Event — fan zone, event hosting, venue operations
• General event support

Selecting multiple categories increases the number of shifts you can see

STEP 3: COMPLETE YOUR ID VERIFICATION

Verification takes approximately 5–10 minutes. You will need a valid government-issued ID. Once verified, your profile is visible to every employer near your listed location who posts a shift matching your categories.

This step is the most important one for accessing the best shifts. Employers see verified workers first. An unverified profile may not be visible to employers at all.

STEP 4: SET YOUR LOCATION

Drop your location pin near the area where you want to work — the stadium district (Yaletown / Gastown / False Creek area), Hastings Park for the fan festival, or your home neighbourhood for general local gig work.

The map shows you shifts near your actual location. The closer you are to an employer’s venue, the more relevant you appear in their search.

STEP 5: BROWSE LIVE SHIFTS AND APPLY

When a verified employer near you posts a shift, it appears on your map. Click to see

• The role and specific duties
• The date and hours
• The pay rate — shown upfront before you apply
• The employer’s verified status

If the shift suits you, apply directly. The process takes under 60 seconds with a completed profile. No long forms. No agency screening calls. Direct connection with the employer.

COST TO WORKERS:

There are no fees deducted from your earnings by Djobzy. The pay rate displayed on a shift listing is what you are paid. Djobzy does not take a cut from worker wages.

How Djobzy Works: What Verified Means for Employers and Workers

Both employer and worker verification are fundamental to how Djobzy works. Here is what each means:

VERIFIED EMPLOYER:

A verified employer has had their business identity confirmed by Djobzy before their account is activated. Workers can trust that shifts posted by verified employers are from real, operating Vancouver businesses — not fraudulent postings.

VERIFIED WORKER:

A verified worker has completed ID verification through the platform, confirming their identity matches their profile. Employers can trust that a verified worker is who they say they are. Verification is the primary factor in whether a worker’s profile is visible to employers posting shifts.

Verification does not replace sector-specific licensing. Workers applying for security roles must still hold a valid BC security worker licence issued by the Province of BC. Workers in food handling roles should ensure they hold Food Safe Level 1 if required by the employer. Djobzy’s verification confirms identity — not professional credentials. Workers are responsible for ensuring their own qualifications are current and valid.

WHY HYPER-LOCAL MATCHING MATTERS IN VANCOUVER

National gig platforms show you shifts from across a city — or across a country. That is not useful when you need a bartender who can walk to Yaletown from their apartment in 10 minutes, or when a hotel needs housekeeping staff who are already near Burrard Street.

Djobzy’s location-based map is built for the Vancouver market specifically. On match days — with road closures affecting Pacific Boulevard and Granville Street, and transit patterns shifted around Main Street–Science World Station — proximity matters more than it does on a normal trading day.

A worker 15 minutes away on a normal day may be 45 minutes away on June 13. A worker 5 minutes away is 5 minutes away regardless of road closures.

Djobzy’s local-first matching is not a feature built for convenience. In Vancouver’s match-day context, it is a logistics advantage.

Businesses planning for each game day can also use our 7-day match day preparation checklist to organize staffing before demand peaks.
