## Official Answers

### What is Swing Shift?

Swing Shift is a dating app for shift workers. It matches singles by shift pattern and days-off overlap instead of assuming everyone is free on weekends.

### Who is Swing Shift for?

Swing Shift is built for nurses, doctors, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, pilots, truckers, hospitality workers, factory teams, security guards, utility workers, and anyone else whose calendar does not fit a 9-to-5.

### How does shift-based matching work?

Members choose a shift pattern and can share their days off. Swing Shift prioritizes people in your area whose preferences and available days line up, so matches start from realistic time together.

### What shift patterns does Swing Shift support?

Swing Shift supports common fixed, night, rotating, emergency-services, healthcare, transport, hospitality, and irregular schedules, with more detailed schedule tools planned.

### Is Swing Shift available now?

Swing Shift is currently in waitlist mode while matching launches. People can join the waitlist to get early access.

### Is my detailed schedule public?

No. Your shift type helps with matching, but your detailed days-off calendar is used for compatibility and is not public.

### Does Swing Shift publish shift-work job and employer pages?

Yes. Swing Shift publishes city, industry, salary, and employer resource pages for shift-work search intent. These are acquisition and research pages, not live job listings yet.

### Can employers use Swing Shift?

Employers can review the public hiring guides and register partnership interest. The current employer pages focus on schedule-first hiring, roster transparency, local candidate intent, and shift-worker acquisition.

### How does Swing Shift keep marketplace SEO trustworthy?

Swing Shift labels job pages as research and acquisition guides while the marketplace launches, avoids fake job counts and unsupported claims, source tracks conversion paths, and documents editorial, salary, and employer verification standards.

### How are Swing Shift salary guides built?

Salary guides focus on defensible pay factors such as base rate, penalties, casual loading, overtime, allowances, tickets, roster stability, commute, sleep, and recovery cost instead of inventing unsupported salary ranges.

## Supported Shift Patterns

- [Fixed Day Shift](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/fixed-day): Fixed day schedules run Monday through Friday with weekends off. Most of the dating pool is already on this clock, but fixed-day workers often want partners who understand what a real evening and weekend feel like.
- [Fixed Night Shift](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/fixed-night): Fixed night shift workers work the same overnight hours on a regular cycle. Breakfast is dinner, Tuesday is Saturday, and normal dating apps make no sense.
- [Rotating 12-Hour Shifts](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/rotating-12): Rotating 12-hour shifts mean you work three or four 12-hour days, then get three to four days off — and the days rotate between day and night through the month.
- [4-on / 4-off](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/4-on-4-off): The 4-on/4-off schedule runs on a repeating 8-day cycle. Every week is different, and you get 4 solid days off — often with nights rotating through the pattern.
- [48/96 Fire/EMS](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/48-96): The 48/96 schedule runs 48 hours on-duty, 96 hours off. It's the gold standard in many fire and EMS departments — and it makes dating a partner who understands the rotation incredible.
- [Panama Schedule](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/panama): Also called the Pitman, the Panama schedule runs a 14-day cycle of 2-on, 2-off, 3-on, 2-off, 2-on, 3-off. It covers 24/7 operations with only four teams and gives every other weekend off.
- [DuPont Schedule](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/dupont): The DuPont schedule is a 4-week continuous-operations cycle that gives every team a full 7 days off per cycle. Heavy industry loves it, and so do people who like long vacations without using PTO.
- [Irregular Schedule](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/irregular): Pilots, on-call trades, travel nurses, and anyone whose week is bid or dispatched live here. Regular dating apps fail irregular workers harder than any other group.
- [Other](https://swingshift.co/shift-types/other): Every shift pattern that doesn't fit a clean template lives here. If your job runs on its own clock, you belong on a dating app that respects that.

## Core FAQ

### What is Swing Shift?

Swing Shift is a dating app built specifically for shift workers — nurses, firefighters, police, pilots, truckers, hospitality workers, plant operators, and anyone else whose schedule doesn't fit a 9-to-5. We match people by shift pattern and days off so you meet partners whose calendars actually work with yours.

### Is Swing Shift free?

Yes. You can sign up, build a profile, and match for free. Premium features are available for power users.

### Do I have to be a shift worker to join?

You don't have to be — but the app is designed around shift patterns, so most of our users are in healthcare, emergency services, hospitality, transport, utilities, manufacturing, aviation, and similar fields.

### How is Swing Shift different from Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble?

Mainstream apps assume everyone shares the same weekend. Swing Shift asks your shift type and days off at signup and uses that to match you. It's matching on real compatibility, not just geography.

### How does shift-based matching work?

When you sign up you pick your shift pattern and add your days off. Swing Shift looks for compatible profiles in your area, checks mutual dating preferences, and sorts matches by how many days off you share.

### What shift patterns does Swing Shift support?

We support fixed days, fixed nights, rotating 12s, 4-on/4-off, 48/96, Panama/Pitman, DuPont, irregular, and a custom 'other' option.

### Can I match with people who work different shifts than me?

Yes — a lot of the best matches are cross-pattern. A 4-on/4-off police officer and a Panama plant operator often have heavy overlap. Our compatibility calculator shows you which patterns work together and why.

### Do you match based on profession?

Matching is currently driven by location, mutual dating preferences, age range, and days-off overlap. Profession and industry filters are planned, but schedule compatibility is the core signal.

### How does Swing Shift keep users safe?

We use account authentication, surface safety guidance, and give you tools to block or report anyone. Photo/selfie verification is planned, and badges will only appear for users who complete that process once it is available.

### Who can see my shift schedule?

Only your matches. Your shift type is used for matching, but your detailed days-off calendar is never public.

### What do you do with my data?

We use your data to match you and nothing else. We never sell it. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

### Why is dating as a shift worker so hard?

Because dating culture is wired for people who are free on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. Shift workers are on a different calendar, so they miss the window the rest of the world is using to meet people.
