Instawork
AI-powered staffing connecting businesses with reliable workers near you

Instawork is an AI-powered flexible staffing platform that connects businesses with a network of over 9 million background-checked, skills-verified local workers across 400+ cities in the U.S. and Canada. It serves industries including hospitality, warehouse and logistics, manufacturing, and retail, filling temporary, temp-to-hire, and full-time hourly roles often within 24 hours. Businesses pay an all-inclusive hourly rate per booked shift with no hidden fees, while workers use the platform for free.
Instawork uses AI agents to source, vet, and match pre-screened workers to open shifts, handling compliance and payroll so businesses can fill roles within 24 hours.
