On April 2 2017, we held a Spring Syfter Party at the legendary nightclub The Scotch of St. James for our hard-working Syfters! Drinks flowed, music played and a good time was had by all. Our office team also switched roles with our Syfters, and worked at the door, the cloakroom and behind the bar for the night! During this time, we also managed to have some quick chats with some of our workers to get to know them a bit better and see how they feel about Syft and the platform.Neli

After working more shifts with Syft, I began to make some really good friends there and we often do shifts together. We keep in touch, like a family.”

“My friend recommended the app to me and I started as I was looking for a second job. The timing, opportunities and money paid made it really worthwhile!

The fact that you can work in so many places like the Tate Modern or the O2 Arena makes each shift really exciting.

“April 2016.”

Why did you decide to work with Syft?

“Syft was recommended to me through a friend – they told me that it was very easy to sign up and get shifts so I decided to give it a try. At that time, I didn’t want to commit to a particular type of job and my friend mentioned that the jobs vary from location to location and that made it a really attractive company to work for.” “It’s like a 3rd source of income for me as my other positions are working from home; the shifts at Syft give me the opportunity to get out of the house and decide on the work I want to do and feel less isolated. Because you’re not limited to one specific place or role, you get the chance to meet lots of different people. The pay is great and getting paid per week helps to get some extra income that can go towards luxuries.”

Can you sum up Syft in one word?

“Flexibility.”
