Post by voice — Choosey writes the shiftSpeak it, and Choosey writes the post — role, rate, hours, location. Applicants are ranked by skills match, distance and reliability drawn from completed shifts, not just a CV.
Under a minute — role, rate, hours and location captured in one pass.
Pre-screened candidates arrive against the clock, ranked on skills match and reliability.
Confirm hours worked, pay through Stripe instantly.
Fee: 15% of the hourly rate × hours worked. Nothing charged if the shift isn't filled.
A shift board can't tell you whether someone's right for a 12-month Head Chef role. Choosey Talent starts with a Talent DNA Brief — the requirements, the team, the standards you're actually hiring against — and screens candidates against it before they reach your shortlist, not after.
Captures the role properly — not just a title and a salary band.
Candidates are screened against the brief, with a scorecard you can see.
You interview a shortlist, not a stack of unscreened applications.
Hire starts on your normal payroll from day one — Choosey isn't the employer.
Fee: 5% of annual salary (pro-rata for part-time). Nothing charged until the hire actually starts.

This is what a venue actually sees. Pick a role, post the shift, and watch ranked applicants arrive against the clock.
Most platforms do one or the other. Choosey covers casual shifts, part-time and full-time from the same post, with the same matching engine behind it.
Cover a sick call at 4pm or staff a weekend event. Posted by voice, filled in minutes, billed on the hours actually worked.
Ongoing roles at a set number of days a week, with salary stated pro-rata on the post.
Permanent hires without the agency markup. Your five strongest candidates, ranked on evidence.
If you're running shifts and permanent hiring across five venues or five hundred seasonal roles, Choosey Enterprise gives you a single account hierarchy, unlimited seats, and one dedicated account manager instead of five separate relationships.
A subscription for access, and a fee only when a shift is worked or a placement actually starts. Nothing before that.
Talent DNA Brief — the structured brief that replaces a job ad for permanent and part-time roles: what the role actually needs, not just a title and a salary band. Candidates are screened against it before they reach you.
Two roles closed inside a matter of weeks: a Commis Chef/CDP and a 2IC Front of House.

Four active roles across Victoria and Queensland, from Restaurant Manager to Venue Manager, run off a single Talent DNA Brief per venue.
