Marketplace trust

Built as useful shift-work guides, not fake listings

These pages are designed to capture real shift-worker intent while staying clear about what exists today: research guides, waitlist demand, and a marketplace launch path.

Read trust standards Salary methodology

No fake marketplace depth

We do not invent live job counts, active employer counts, salary numbers, review totals, or verification badges before those systems exist.

Roster-first usefulness

Marketplace pages must help a shift worker or employer compare real schedule factors: start times, rotation, weekend load, fatigue, transport, and local fit.

Source-tracked acquisition

Waitlist and employer interest forms preserve source page, city, industry, role, and intent data so growth decisions can be tied to actual demand.

Clear separation of guides and listings

Search pages are labelled as guides while the live marketplace is still launching. We do not present research pages as live job boards.
