Apply

Apply for roles by finding work.

Roles will be ranked in an order that matches the characteristics you’ve set! Making a unique profile helps us to help you find the jobs that are suited to you faster!

Once you’ve found your perfect role you’ll first need to register your interest. Make sure you only apply for shifts that you know you can work!

Registering your interest will mark the first step of your journey through the Brand’s chosen workflow. Shift Workflows will change depending upon the role. Some will require a longer process involving interviews. Others will be simpler where Brand’s will Pick you dependent upon your CV, photo and profile.

You will be taken on a journey through each stage of the workflow as Brand’s make decisions upon your application. You can keep track of your progress on your personalised dashboard.

Disclaimer: Descriptions of each status can be found by hovering over them within the platform.

Standby

If a Brand gives you a standby status it means that they like your profile but unfortunately another Pickr has beaten you to this particular shift 👎 .

However, all hope is not lost 😄 .

Being on the standby list means that the Brand will expect you to turn up if you’re called upon at short notice. So make sure you’re ready for work! 👷.

Calls will often be made to you the evening before or the morning of the shift in question.

Pickd

Once a Brand has approved your application you’ll be officially 🎉 Pickd 🎉 .

An email will be sent out to you with all of the relevant information via a link to the job.

Before working

You need to reply to the text or sign in on the app and ensure you’ve told Pickr you are on your way to the role 🏃. If you don’t you may be replaced.
