Skilled technical roles tracked
AV techs, stage hands, riggers. Skill level visible on shifter profiles.
Events & Catering
Festivals, concerts, corporate events, private parties. Production companies move crew in and out constantly. ShiftSee is the staffing layer.
The moment that matters
Three-day music festival, Friday setup day. Your stage manager's AV tech didn't show up. Load-in for the second stage is happening right now. You need someone who can run cable, set monitors, and talk to bands in the next 2 hours — otherwise sound check doesn't happen and Friday night's headliner isn't ready.
ShiftSee is built for exactly this moment — and for every shift you run between now and the next one.
What you get
AV techs, stage hands, riggers. Skill level visible on shifter profiles.
Schedule the full 3-day block. Shifters commit to the whole event, not day-by-day.
Non-union events marked clearly. Shifters who work union jobs can filter into non-union opportunities appropriately.
Production day crises fill through Broadcast Shifts in minutes.

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.
