Frequently Asked Questions

For Business
Wrkstars
How does it work?

It's easy peasy lemon squeezy. WrkWrk is a platform that allows you to list shiftwork for our database of experienced, trained and vetted Wrkstars with as little as 3 hours' notice. All you have to do is list your requirement and watch the shift fill in real-time - how handy is that? And there are no sign up fees!

What is a Wrkstar?

Think Rockstars, but for shiftwork! Once a candidate is activated on the WrkWrk platform, they're officially a Wrkstar and a part of our incredible team of experienced staff. Alexa, play Nickleback.

Where does WrkWrk operate?

Right now, WrkWrk operates nationwide in the Republic of Ireland...but we're hoping to spread our wings soon. Watch this space.

What types of jobs can I list through WrkWrk?

We've got it all! Well, not everything. But we do provide temp staff for shiftwork in the hospitality, retail, and office/administration sectors. Pretty impressive right?

What's included in the hourly rate?

Ever been on an all inclusive cruise? Our hourly rates are all-inclusive too, with holiday pay, staff taxes and charges covered. It's plain sailing! The only item not included in the hourly rate is VAT.

Do staff have experience?

As long as you're not looking for an astronaut or a former President, our staff know what they're doing. Each shift listed is only made visible to staff with the relevant experience, meaning they arrive to their shift ready to work. Just don't ask them about the moon landing, okay?

What training do staff have?

WrkWrk provides free, compulsory courses in Manual Handling, Responsible Service of Alcohol, and Food Saftey to all of our Wrkstars. They'll always show up to their shift with valid training in each of these areas. We're thinking of making them run a marathon too, so we can really show off.

Can I hire the staff you provide?

Thief! Just kidding, we love to see our Wrkstars being snapped up. If you'd like to add one of our staff to your team, drop us a line and we'll let them know. If you've hired them within 6 months of introduction, we'll charge a recruitment fee for being such great matchmakers. Love is in the air!

How much does it cost?

That depends. We let clients set the rate of pay for each shift, provided it meets our minumum rate for each role. We'll then calculate our charge rate based on the rate of pay you select. Sound good? Get in touch for a quote, which is guaranteed to be less than a million euros....probably.

How are my staff chosen?

This is the cool part - our innovative app will always find you the most experienced and highest ranking Wrkstars that are available. You can improve your experience by adding staff to your Favourites list and by rating and reviewing Wrkstars after the shift. Embrace your inner X Factor Judge.

Do I pay the staff?

We like to make life easier for you, so we handle all payroll for the staff. WrkWrk will charge you based on the hours worked by the staff, and you'll pay WrkWrk. Did we mention it's easy peasy?

How does it work?

It's easy peasy lemon squeezy. WrkWrk is a platform that allows you to view and accept shifts listed by our clients. We offer total flexibility, so you get to work when and where you choose. You can work as much or as little as you like; we're not clingy! (just don't leave us unread, okay?)

How much work can I get with WrkWrk?

What did Forrest Gump say about chocolates again? We can't exactly predict how many shifts will be available each week, but our Wrkstars can work as much or as little as they like depending what's on offer. Most weeks will have a delicious selection, some might only have a couple of orange creams left *shudder*. You grab what you like!

Is there a minimum age requirement for WrkWrk?

We wish we could hire everyone, especially cool young people who improve our image. But because many of our roles involve serving alcohol, you've gotta be at least 18 years old when you apply. Booo! If you're not 18 yet, hurry up and grow already! We promise we're worth the wait.

How long does it take to sign up?

This one is down to you. We've streamlined our application process, so if you're a speedy Gonzalez and follow the process, it can take as little as 48 hours from signing up to accepting your first shift. Let's go!

Do you provide training?

Hell yeah we do! WrkWrk provides free (you heard that right, FREE!) training in Manual Handling, Responsible Service of Alcohol and Food Saftey. What are you waiting for?

How much can I earn?

This depends on our client, because they set the rate of pay for their shifts, but we always pay more than minimum wage. We're cool like that. The average is approx. €11.75/hour (plus holiday pay). Dolla bills baby.

Do I need experience?

We know that everyone has to start somewhere, so while many of our roles require previous experience, we have some entry-level roles on offer. You can apply on the app even if this is your first job - it's time to level up!

Can I work around my full-time job or other commitments?

This is an open relationship, so you can date around. Lots of our Wrkstars have more than one job; we offer you total flexibilty to work around your lifestyle. (but you love us the most, right?)

What's the best way to apply?

We're glad you asked! You can sign up on your browser here or you can install the "Wrkstar App" from the app store on iOS or Android. Ah, go on. You know you want to.
