Becoming an Upshifter

It’s easy to be an Upshifter once you are on but we have a rigorous selection process consisting of an online personality assessment and an in-person meeting before you get started.

1. Apply online

You can apply online on our website by completing our personality assessment. Please keep in mind though that we only accept 12% of applicants! If you pass the online personality assessment we will invite you to schedule a time for an in-person onboarding and then you will be good to go!

2. Pick your Shift

Once you’ve finished the onboarding process, you can start picking up work. Using the Upshift app, you can see available shifts in your area and apply for the ones you want. Employers will then accept you for a shift and it’s all yours!

3. Build your Profile

After you work shifts, you will gain experience in the app and reviews from the businesses that you work for. As you gain experience, reviews, and skills, better opportunities will be available for you!

4. Get Paid

You’ll get paid directly to your bank account or cash card each Friday for the prior week. You can also get paid every day after you have worked on Upshift for at least two weeks through our partnership with earnin!
