How it works
From sign-up to the first text
ShiftLine sends one category of message: text messages about hourly and shift-based job openings that match the profile you created, plus reminders for interviews you schedule through ShiftLine. Nothing else is sent to your number, ever.
Create your profile
Tell us the ZIP code you can commute to, the shifts you can work, and the minimum hourly rate you will accept.
Confirm your number
We text you once to confirm. Reply YES and alerts begin. Reply STOP and nothing further is sent.
Get matched openings by text
When a new opening clears your filters, you get one message with the employer, the rate, the shift and a link to apply.
The opt-in flow, step by step
- You submit the form. The SMS checkbox is unchecked by default and is separate from the Terms checkbox. We record the timestamp, the page URL and the exact consent wording you agreed to.
- We send one confirmation text. Nothing else is sent until you answer it.
- You reply YES. That reply is stored with its own timestamp. This is the double opt-in.
- Alerts begin. Only the message types listed on this page are ever sent.
- You reply STOP whenever you want. The number is suppressed within 60 seconds and excluded from all future sending.
If you never reply YES, no program messages are sent and the pending record expires after 30 days.
Every message in the program
Message frequency varies based on how many openings match your profile (typically 1–4 messages per week). Msg & data rates may apply.
