Apply, pick, book. Nothing more complicated.
MedSkift has exactly one way to book: verified health workers apply to a shift and the employer chooses who to book. Here is every step, for both sides.
One way to book
There is no bidding and no agency in the middle. Every booking follows the same four steps.
An employer posts a shift
The profession, date and hours, the site and the rate, per hour or per shift.Verified professionals apply
Only health workers whose identity and documents are approved, and whose profession matches, can apply.The employer picks one
They compare profiles, verified badges and reviews, and can message applicants first.The booking is confirmed
US$3 comes off the employer’s prepaid credit and both sides get each other’s contact details.
Step 1: Set up your organization
- Sign up, choose your type (hospital, clinic, pharmacy, care home, agency or individual) and add your first site.
- Upload your business documents and complete the owner identity check. Families only need the identity check.
- You can draft shifts straight away; they go live once you are verified.
Step 2: Post a shift
- Set the profession, title, date and hours, number of slots (up to 20), requirements and the rate per hour or per shift.
- Post one shift, the same shift on many dates at once, or a weekly pattern that keeps the next four weeks posted.
- Mark it urgent to alert verified workers of that profession in your town straight away.
Step 3: Choose from verified applicants
- Only verified health workers whose profession matches can apply, each with an optional note.
- Open a profile to see verified badges, experience and reviews from other employers.
- Message an applicant with questions. Phone numbers and emails are hidden until you book.
Step 4: Book
- Accept the applicant you want. US$3 comes off your credit, the booking is confirmed and both sides see each other’s contact details.
- Short of credit? Top up and finish the same booking; you are never charged twice.
- When every slot is filled, the remaining applicants are told the shift is taken.
Step 5: After the shift
- Reminders go out 24 hours and 2 hours before the start.
- If nobody turns up, report a no-show within 24 hours of the start and the fee returns to your credit.
- The booking completes automatically a day after the end. Then you each have 14 days to leave a review.

Step 3: Find and apply
- Browse open shifts for your profession, filtered by town, dates, minimum pay and urgency.

Step 4: Get booked

- MedSkift stops you double-booking yourself on overlapping shifts.
- If you cannot make it, cancel in the app as early as possible so the employer can replace you.
