Nowjobs connects Belgian businesses with students and flexi-jobbers, and its temporary workers are synchronized 100 % with Shyfter. They appear in your schedule like the rest of your team, smoothly and transparently.

A full weekend, a sick employee, a sudden event: sometimes your own team is not enough. Finding extra hands quickly is one problem. Fitting them into your schedule without creating a parallel admin is another. This page explains what Nowjobs is, how it works with Shyfter and when it makes sense for your business.

What Nowjobs is and who it serves

Nowjobs is a Belgian digital staffing platform and app. It connects businesses with students and flexi-jobbers who are available to work. Everything happens online: Nowjobs is 100 % digital.

Two principles make it easy to use for a manager. You see the cost in advance, before you confirm. And you only pay once the person has worked.

Shyfter is the workforce management software for shift-based teams. It brings scheduling, time tracking and payroll preparation together. Nowjobs is one of its preferred partners.

Nowjobs students and flexi-jobs in your Shyfter schedule

When temporary workers are managed outside your scheduling tool, they become invisible. Your schedule shows your own team, while the extra people booked for Saturday live in another app, a message thread or someone's head. That is how double bookings, empty positions and confused shift leaders happen.

With Nowjobs and Shyfter connected:

• temporary workers from Nowjobs show up in your Shyfter schedule;
• managers see the whole team for each shift, permanent and temporary;
• shift leaders know who is coming, without checking a second tool;
• your schedule remains the single place where staffing is decided.

How Nowjobs and Shyfter work together

Temporary workers from Nowjobs are synchronized with Shyfter, smoothly and transparently. The synchronization covers 100 % of these temporary workers, so they appear in the schedule like the rest of the team.

In practice, the routine looks like this:

1. Spot the gap. In your Shyfter schedule, you see a shift that your own team cannot cover.
2. Book through Nowjobs. You find a student or flexi-jobber through Nowjobs, with the cost shown in advance.
3. See them in Shyfter. The temporary worker appears in your staff scheduling view, alongside your employees.
4. Run the shift. Your shift leader works with one complete team on one schedule.
5. Pay after the work. You pay Nowjobs once the person has worked.

When Nowjobs makes sense

Nowjobs is useful whenever your own team cannot cover the schedule on its own. Typical moments include:

• a weekend or a holiday period busier than usual;
• an employee who calls in sick on the morning of a shift;
• a one off event, such as a private party or a seasonal market;
• a new site that opens before the permanent team is complete.

In each case, the question is the same: who can work, and how will the shift leader know? Nowjobs answers the first part. The synchronization with Shyfter answers the second, because the person booked appears in the schedule your team already reads every day.

Getting started with Nowjobs, step by step

1. Create your business account with Nowjobs.
2. Make sure your sites and teams are set up in Shyfter.
3. Contact Shyfter to link your Nowjobs account to your Shyfter account.
4. Book your first temporary worker through Nowjobs.
5. Check that the worker appears in your Shyfter schedule for the right shift.

Use cases by industry

Restaurants and bars

Restaurants and bars face last minute peaks: a sunny terrace, a private party, a missing waiter. Booking a student or flexi-jobber through Nowjobs and seeing them directly in the schedule keeps the service under control.

Events

In events, the team changes with every project. Temporary workers from Nowjobs appear next to your regular crew, so the event manager has one view of who works where and when.

Already have your own pool of flexible workers?

Nowjobs helps you find new people. If you already have a stable group of students and flexi-jobs and only need their contracts and payroll handled, see the Update Pro page. Both are among the payroll partners Shyfter works with.
