What Instawork is for

Instawork is a job app for shift work, gig work, freelance contracts and online jobs. Listings can run from a few hours to a few months, so the same app covers a one-off event and a longer placement. The developer positions it for people who want to choose their own hours, and for people who want extra income next to another job.

Setup is a sign-up, a profile, and approval for the positions you want. Once approved, you browse shifts and apply to the ones that fit.

Finding shifts, gigs and side jobs

The job finder lists shifts, gig work and side jobs that businesses are hiring for. Each listing is meant to fit a schedule, so you can pick where and when you work. The developer also lists a career builder feature, which is aimed at people who want to collect different gigs and grow their work experience.

Contractor and freelance work is listed separately, with jobs matched to the skills and schedule you set in your profile.

Seeing pay and getting paid daily

Before you accept a shift, the app shows what you will earn for it. Pay is usually weekly. Pros who qualify through the Top Pro Program can get paid daily through Instapay, which the listing says applies after every shift.

The Top Pro Program also gives priority access to shifts, cash bonuses and instant payments. The listing ties these to performance and to qualifying for the program.

Applying, interviews and your profile

When you apply for a role, you can complete the AI interview inside Instawork without leaving the app. Your profile is where you set your details and positions, and approval for each position is needed before you can take shifts in it.

Businesses can call or message you before a shift or while you are working one, so the app is also where day-to-day contact with the employer happens.

Hospitality and warehouse job types

The culinary and hospitality list covers bartending, line and prep cooking, serving, busing, running food, dishwashing, cashiering, concessions, event setup and takedown, custodial work and housekeeping. The warehouse list covers picking and packing, material handling and general labor.

The listing also includes a messaging tool for other Pros, so you can keep in touch with people you have worked alongside and build a professional network within the app.
