AV skill-tagged shifters
Audio engineer, video tech, lighting designer, projectionist. Specific skills tagged and searchable.
Events & Catering
Corporate events, trade shows, conferences, product launches. Technical crew on demand, rigged up and show-ready.
The moment that matters
Corporate conference, Wednesday. 500 attendees, five sessions simultaneously across four rooms. Your A1 for Room 3 just texted — he has COVID, isolating. Sessions start at 9 AM. You need someone who can patch an audio console, troubleshoot a wireless mic issue, and manage the production flow of a breakout session.
ShiftSee is built for exactly this moment — and for every shift you run between now and the next one.
What you get
Audio engineer, video tech, lighting designer, projectionist. Specific skills tagged and searchable.
Corporate events differ from festivals. Shifters can flag corporate A/V experience.
Console brands, camera types, LED wall experience — specific gear experience visible.
Production emergencies happen same-day. Targeted requests + Broadcast Shifts handle it.

Why ShiftSee works here
Most of your shift work isn't new work. It's the same work, done again. The same weekend crew. The same specialty staff for peak events. The same closers on a Friday night. ShiftSee is built for that reality — every connection you make gets stronger the more you use it, and every shifter's rating and reliability follows them across every business they work with. After six months, you've built a trusted private crew that compounds in value month over month.
Getting started
(free). 2 minutes.
Everyone you'd text first when a shift opens up. They sign up, connect to you, and they're ready.
Schedule one. Broadcast one. Whatever hurts most.
Pat Rousseau, our co-founder, personally onboards every new business in the first 60 days. He'll walk you through setup, answer questions, and stay available by text during your first week live.
No subscription. No setup fees. You only pay when a shift happens. If ShiftSee saves you a single bad-day disaster, it's paid for itself several times over.
