đŸ’Ŧ What People Say

Hear from workers and employers who are using GPOD's Shifts Near Me feature.

I found a cafÊ job just two streets from my flat! No more hour-long commutes across London. I can wake up 30 minutes before my shift and still arrive early. The app is incredibly easy to use – I just open it and see all available shifts around me.

As a small business owner, I used to panic when staff called in sick. Now I just post a shift on GPOD and within an hour, I have a qualified replacement who lives nearby. The location-based matching is brilliant – workers arrive on time and already know the area.

I'm a student and GPOD's location search is perfect for finding shifts between classes. I can filter for jobs within walking distance of my university and pick up a few hours here and there. It's so much more flexible than a traditional part-time job.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about GPOD's Shifts Near Me feature.

How far can I search for shifts?

You can set your search radius from 500 meters up to 10 kilometers. The default is 3km, but you can adjust this in your app settings. We recommend starting with a smaller radius to find shifts within walking distance.

You can also save multiple locations (like home, university, etc.) and search around those points even when you're not physically there.

How quickly can I start working after applying?

For many shifts, you can start working the same day you apply. Once your profile is set up with your ID verification, qualifications, and bank details, applications can be approved within minutes.

Some positions may require additional checks or training, which will be clearly indicated in the shift description.

Is my location data secure?

Yes, GPOD takes your privacy seriously. Your precise location is only used when you actively search for shifts, and you can disable location services at any time. We do not track your movements or store your location history.

Your location data is encrypted and never shared with third parties. Employers only see that you're within their specified radius, not your exact address or location.

How do employers verify my location?

When you arrive at a shift, you'll check in using GPOD's facial recognition system, which also verifies your location through GPS. This confirms you're physically at the workplace when your shift begins.

If you're applying for shifts, employers only see that you're within their specified work radius, not your exact location. This maintains your privacy while ensuring you're genuinely local to the job site.

Can I search for shifts in other cities?

Yes, you can search for shifts in any location, not just around your current position. This is perfect if you're planning to travel or move to a new city and want to line up work in advance.

Simply enter the address or area you're interested in, and GPOD will show you available shifts in that location. You can save multiple search areas for easy access.
