From choosing to rating
You always know the next step, right to the end of the shift.
Applying isn’t the same as being accepted: the venue decides. Worth knowing before you start. Once a venue accepts you, a chat with it opens in Saiiy.
Read and choose
Read the role, the time, the pay and the place, and check them against your week before you apply.
Apply and wait for the venue
Applying isn’t the same as being accepted. The venue reviews your application, and you get a notification the moment it accepts you.
Turn up and work, then rate it
Once you’re accepted, clock in when you arrive. Confirm the shift’s details before you leave home. After the shift, you and the venue can rate each other. Venues see your rating and how many shifts you’ve completed.
Get ready
First shift?
Take it one step at a time.

Good to know
before you start.
How do I know the venue is real?
Every shift is posted from a venue’s account on Saiiy, and before you apply you see the venue’s name and area. Venues Saiiy has reviewed carry a badge. After the shift, you can rate the venue too.
How will I know I’ve been accepted?
As soon as the venue accepts you, you get a notification and a chat opens between you in Saiiy.
Can I choose my hours?
Yes. You choose which shifts to apply for, based on your time and where you are.
Is there full-time or part-time work?
The Saiiy team no longer puts workers forward for full-time or part-time jobs, and there are no job ads or applications on the website. What is available now is shifts.
What if something comes up and I can’t make it?
Tell the venue early and clearly: how late you’ll be, or that you can’t come at all. That gives them time to make other arrangements, and keeps your standing with them.
