My only problem is that they wait until you actually get the job and accept it before they have done your Background check. I just missed 3 Job opportunities because the background check service " CheckR" takes Forever to do the check. Background check gigs are going to hold you up for days, CheckR is slow and you won't get the job until cleared. Takes about a week or so to get clear. So be aware . Very slow, very incompetent, and very frustrating.
Reviews for GigSmart Get Gigs
App functions slowly and refreshing itself at random times, causing me to rescroll through the same pages several times. And, I just recently learned that when I was transferring money I worked for into my bank account from a certain job, it was automatically set to Rapid transfer without my knowledge. I thought it was set for regular transfer (like it was with other jobs I'd done) and I ended up paying $11 altogether (due to the 3% transfer price) for them all. An hour's worth of work, almost.
Ieam its okay, not very many gigs in my area but better than all other apps I've tried so far (+5). Kinda confusing on when you have to wait for someone to respond to tell you whether or not you got the job. I applied to one for 3 days and it didn't even go thru I don't think, no response/alert, nothing. Keep having same issue. Hopefully this new update works.
A little disappointed with the app. There's literally 3 different kinds of work with 1 bachelor party cook, a 2 times a day airshopper, and the rest is a grocery store listing of a cashier/stocker all at Mitsuwa marketplace with the highest pay, but they are not responsive, and take up the majority of the listings. Have more options, and have more RESPONSIVE options. My application has been pending over a day and the gig starts tomorrow, and one in a couple of hours and still nothing.
Up to about a few days ago this was a very good app. However, this past week they added a dept.called Ascen without notifying any scheduled workers. So instead of getting instant payment, you have to wait a few days before the time sheets are approved & at least another week until payment is processed/deposited. What's worse is if you try & contact gigsmart ascen, you will get NO REPSONSE nor explanation. Many have walked off this current 4 day event due to this and who knows when we will get $
Shift postings are not steadily available, but are usually good gigs. App is easy to use. Payment from hire is fast, usually in 24hrs. and it can be loaded instantly to debit card of your choosing for like 3% fee. So, $100 in minutes is $3, or free in 2-3 days. Basically like bluecrew, but better. Also background check is optional, not mandatory, but opens up more jobs when completed.
So far mediocre. The gigs available aren't a lot. Some companies post gigs for some reason within the hour you're supposed to be there. You "Apply" for gigs. They aren't automatically accepted. The company posting the gig must accept you in order for you to be hired. I am available and willing to work. Applied for over 7 gigs. Not a single reply on any of them....
This will be a five star worthy app once the library of opportunities is expanded. I really like the app, it's easy to navigate, simple to understand, everything is where you think it would be without having too endlessly click, it has great capabilities that all sync up nicely, & there are indeed gigs open for hire. The only thing that needs improving, in my opinion, is the quantity of opportunities which I assume is only a matter of time before more offer's find their way into this platform.
Adding a new review-old one was 2021. I recently tried to see if there were more options available but the App got hung up on the allow locations screen. It kept going back to it even after I allowed my location to be shared. It never showed me the jobs boards. I had a bunch of notifications from the past--that I hadn't seen and no way to clear out the old stuff. So I uninstalled it again. Such a good premise--but way too clunky. Not user friendly. Couldn't even see if there were more jobs.
The app is MOSTLY good. I have one qualm and it is honestly a big one: DOOR DASH. I have gotten 35 notifications this week and 2 of them were actual jobs and not a reposting in the same doordash posting. It really detracts from the allure of the app. I have had to turn notifications off just so I'm not inundated with terrible post notifications from a terrible "company". They either need to be removed or at the very least add a feature to block certain job posters. It is unreasonable.
