GigSmart Get Gigs Reviews

I accepted a gig the other day based on the miles on GigSmartGetGigs which said 6 miles to the construction site in Littleton. When I put the address in my Apple Maps function, I was told it was 26 miles. That meant basically over an hour of unpaid time stuck in a car. When I brought it up to the rep, she said it’s not their problem, it’s the requestor that’s responsible. Obviously that’s not an acceptable response. Gig smart is actually responsible for that error. It is their duty to double check and make darn sure the facts are right. In addition, we are representing gigsmart when we work and it is their duty to take care of our grievances internally. So in this case instead of making $20 per hour, I made 16 per hour factoring in the time and the gas. Anyway, the point is; pay attention and double check the mileage to the gig. Do not accept gig if you’re unsure. And gigsmart? if you’re reading this make sure you understand exactly how far the mileage is from the workers residence to the job site. It’s VERY important. Thanks. Besides that it was a pretty seamless process as far as tracking the hours and getting paid. And thank you gigsmart for making work available to us people who need extra money.

I really had high expectations for GigSmartGetGigs but it seems that the employers take forever to hired. If I applied to a job two to three days before the actual job date and I don’t get a response I’m I supposed to not go on with whatever I have to do? The uncertainty of not knowing if you will be hired or not or how soon it will be doesn’t leave room for the people applying to these positions to plan accordingly. Your app is built on the notion that people don’t have other things going on. I’m glad I gave your app a shot, it’s better I stick to the other gig apps that have a system that allows people to plan ahead.

Plus: it doesn’t show you the location of the job until you sign up for the shift. How does that even make any sense? How I’m I signing up for a gig not knowing where I’m going? It gives you an estimate based on what mode of transportation you say you use. It simply doesn’t give you the option to decide if you’re willing to go to a particular area or not until you sign up. Take this from me, you’re better off with Insta work or Wonolo where you can see the addresses from the jump, are automatically hired for the shift (gigsmart literally wants you to sleep on GigSmartGetGigs waiting to be hired). I thought this was supposed to be an avenue to make extra money without wasting time.

I don’t need someone to call and ask me if I’m going to show up everyday . This new feature where you confirming is useless … that’s the whole reason you cancel before the 10 hour mark if they don’t follow through suspend them unless a valid reason but I just got my job and didn’t even have a message to confirm it ANYWHERE and it canceled my shift and put me behind ALSO gig requesters should NOT be allowed to wait until Day3 to pay us because a lot of them are purposely waiting or taking there time to pay us , we should be paid as soon as gig is over or the next day not wait 3 whole days for a job that we already completed and requesters waiting to pay us just because they can, when alot of us are on GigSmartGetGigs because we can’t wait 2 weeks to get paid our kids are hungry Now !
also we should be compensated option to get more requesters on GigSmartGetGigs for people who need workers immediately. Also instead of suspending someone for two weeks the first offense should not be so long some of us live off GigSmartGetGigs and life happens to everyone . Punish the people who consistently make it a habit and consecutively cancel last minute.

I work almost 3 weeks this agency need to be shut down I live in California I work over 10 hours they did not pay me time in a half straight payThey also don’t tell you but they take money out of your your earnings I like eat up to nine dollars a day for their fees for him they say Disability in case you get hurt it’s always different so there’s a big surprise every time you get beat you worked a certain amount of hours and you look at what you got paid for the day but before you know if they’ve taken 15 $20 out of your pay so you make nothingI work for a job and they the job didn’t let me take my lunch to after five hours in the state of California there’s a penalty for that they do not wanna pay me that extra money this is not a company that should be in business and they need to be looked into by the state of California because this is not the way to run a businessWhat the heck in a company get away with not paying you time and a half for overtime after eight hours plus if you work past five hours and you’re supposed to take a lunch and can’t they don’t give you the penalty money on that all are also this this agency is a joke they still owe me money and he can’t they won’t even pay me me

I really appreciate GigSmartGetGigs & the vast opportunities that it offers, but I’m rather confused at times. It seems as if I have to confirm a job 2-3 times to ensure that I’m going to show up & complete the job. When I 1st downloaded GigSmartGetGigs, I only had to confirm once. I’m noticing either last minute or after my shifts have been canceled that I was supposed to confirm again after I’ve already confirmed in front of the hiring manager. This is frustrating because I’m anticipating to show up to work & so are the employers that are expecting me. This isn’t a good impression that I’m showing Gigsmart or any of their partners. Currently, I believe my account has been restricted because of this matter & I was personally sent shifts directly from an establishment & now I don’t see them anymore. What is going on ? Can I please have some assistance ? I use GigSmartGetGigs to assist me with making up for bills that my other job cannot cover & that puts me far behind than I need to. Please, help.

GigSmartGetGigs was good right up until a few days ago when a requester contacted me outside GigSmartGetGigs told me not to come due to the weather and not having funds to cover payment on the days I was supposed to work. Contacted gig smart about it and I have basically been told that I’m not getting any payment because the requester said they canceled my shift due to performance. First my shift were canceled because the requester failed to contact gig smart and let them know that they didn’t not need me to come in 3 hrs before my shift was supposed to start. Then gigsmart restricted my account which canceled my shift for the next day out and I get called out filie being a no show….that clearly doesn’t make any kind of since. The policy states that I will be paid 50% of what I was originally supposed to be paid for the day and I’m missing two days worth of payment and time I can’t get back because of how the requester and gigsmart handled the situation. My advice to everyone is to be careful when working on GigSmartGetGigs and with these requesters.@ Cockyeye had a very good point and I have been having that same issue as well!

Every negative comment that was written about GigSmartGetGigs is true. I hate it. No job opportunities, no one to speak to (no customer service number or chat), no nothing. I read some where on the comments where they take your information and use it. Recently I had someone hack into my PayPal account and I believe it may have been this company. I have been requesting to delete my account for the longest and no one has deleted my account yet. Every day I have submitted atleast 20 request to delete my account. I even took most of my information off that app including my profile picture and name. I changed my name to a profanity name (F-U word) and my profile picture is all black and still my account is up and active. I have seen fake jobs requesting me to work even with my profile looking like this. Now what real job will actually want you to work for them if they see your account is full of profanity and a dark profile picture? I want them to delete my account now! I love Instawork! They have sent me jobs and paid me on time! I recommend you use them instead.

GigSmartGetGigs in general is a good one to have if your needing other gigs to help your income. One of the challenges to get into a gig right away is being accepted for the work. Because a lot of the requesters have been burned by people they hired for a shift have literally stood them up, it makes it difficult for new gig seekers to get hired quickly as a result. So if you know a person who’s already worked at a job and that person vouched for you that’s helpful but at the same time can be time consuming overall.
One very important positive note is the pay! You verify your timesheet after each shift ASAP, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE, and you decide to approve it ASAP. By the next day you’ll see it was approved by the requester and you can transfer it to your bank account either w/ a fee of about 3% or standard (no fees) which is best because it can hit your account in 12-24 hours! Be on time!!!

Have been applying for gigs for weeks and I finally got one. One of the gigs I had applied for sent me a request to work a shift, which I didn’t know was a thing, but was super stoked that it is! A representative from GigSmartGetGigs called me upon my acceptance and gave me a play by play of what the gig was going to be like, as well as instructions for what to do next and answered any of my questions. The gig requester contacted me right away (which was awesome because with most of the other gig apps you can’t even get ahold of the businesses you’ll be working with/they have outdated contact info). When I got to work it was a blast! I was able to make the necessary changes to my time sheet and it was approved and I was paid within 24 hours! Love GigSmartGetGigs!

I am in no way affiliated with GigSmart and this review was written on my own volition:

I’ve used GigSmartGetGigs for over a year, mostly to generate income in between jobs — and it has truly been a Godsend for me! Shortly after I started using GigSmartGetGigs , I managed to get a job that put me in the middle of an amazing art exhibit for six months — something I will never forget.

I haven’t used it much, the point of GigSmartGetGigs is to help you get quick money when you need it. And for that purpose, it’s served me well. I’m now in between jobs again and I’ve managed to pick up 7 shifts through GigSmartGetGigs , and that is going to be a tremendous help! Hopefully I don’t have to use GigSmartGetGigs again, but it’s good to know it’s there for me (and you!) if / when I need it.

My husband and I went and worked very hard. At the end of the evening we were asked to come back at 10. As the Astros are not working, that means I am not either, I care for my father who is terminally ill, and needed to be paid for the hard work. I don’t mind working hard, but everyone should be paid. When I went to discuss, he said they didn’t press start, and this was both our 1st gig. Then it stated job canceled due to inactivity. In addition we drove an hour there and back. I’ll drive as far as needed, drop everything we were doing to help, as long as at the end of the day, we get paid. I was advised he would handle through customer service.

At this time I have sent a message to customer service, but as gig canceled on employer side, the number will not reach the client. Brandon T.

I am hoping we can get this resolved and continue to work together, let’s get this handled please.

If payment had been made, I think this is a great way to find work and or workers. I’m sure once the kinks are out, it’s gonna be great.

My honest opinion of GigSmartGetGigs is “Please don’t waste your time”!! I worked consistently for just over a year before I noticed the change. I had one complaint about a gig. The time had changed the day of the gig. I had informed them of the error and I was punished. Recurring gigs that I always worked I’m no longer allowed to apply for. Whenever I apply for a gig and get accepted, I’m then immediately cancelled from the shift. What I find funny is no company has given me a bad review. I have nothing but five star reviews on my profile. They constantly send me gigs that’s out of my traveling range. But of course my requests go unanswered!! I feel like I’m being ignored/ punished for speaking up. I’m so disappointed due to me telling all friends about GigSmartGetGigs . Unfortunately they have had more of a problem than myself. I would hate to throw away two and half years, but I can’t waste anymore of my valuable time.

I made my profile, and I applied a few jobs, and I got very irate, and I message the employer, because I never really worked gigs before other than Veryable and Wonolo, which are also very good ones, however, my experience with them they first from a lot of you guys. So, after messaging, those employers, my account got restricted, and they say I violated the terms. So I never worked one job with gigsmart, but managed to get my account blocked. And then I reached out to them after the 45 days of course. And they forward me with this message.

We will not be lifting the restriction on your account. You submitted a very inappropriate and unprofessional support ticket which is a violation of our terms and conditions

We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

GigSmart Support

I guess me asking repeatedly when will I know if I get hired for a job? And perhaps point out the employers incompetence and letting me know what’s going on really tells you how shallow they can be as well. Try Wonolo and the best one so far is veryable. But this one lacks customer support and they do get back to you, but very mean. Meanwhile, the other ones always get back to you very kindly, but got gigs. They are extremely mean. So a big middle finger to y’all

Gig smart is GREAT app to make money quickly. It is. Its a 5 star app although I wish a few things would change… Just an idea I understand my rating ig 5 yes it deserves the 5 for the purpose and platform just a few helpful insights😊

1. I do not understand why we can’t recieve tips, its blocked.
2. I do not understand when they hire you they will send you another alert and if u miss the second alert they will unhire you (sometimes it comes through GigSmartGetGigs sometimes through text) that needs to be removed, people can be busy, gym or something.
3. I wish they allowed you to work as much as you want (example: a gig starts at 11am - 2pm and same place has a gig 3pm to 7pm) you are only allowed 1 but if course next day is fine. WE want to work as much as possible
4. The pay should be a bit hire. Yes I understand the reason for the $1/per hr. But if the normal is ((ex: $17/hr, plus %of mileage & tips (GigSmartGetGigs should at least pay the full $17 since there are NO other incentives))

I really enjoy GigSmartGetGigs. I think it’s organized pretty well for the most part. I do think that their a little harsh with their penalties if you were to call out a shift within 24 hours ; banning somebody for seven days, in my opinion doesn’t seem productive at all. I almost stopped using GigSmartGetGigs after that …other than that pretty easy to maneuver through.. the agents definitely tend to call way too much to notify you of your shift. Way better than Bluecrew, as an app though.

Gig Smart is great at face value however there is one drawback that I would consider if using and one that I think needs some re-thinking: When you work through Gig Smart they charge you hourly, that’s not the problem, they are like a temp service and they have to get paid or make money as well. The problem is that after they charge you for every hour you work and you finally get paid, it’s similar to Cash App where your money just goes to your wallet on GigSmartGetGigs and if you want to transfer it to your bank account instantly they charge you again. 3% of the total amount. It’s insane. Robbery at its best.

Just to let the people know he went to download GigSmartGetGigs the people saying that GigSmartGetGigs worked for them are liars I have tried using GigSmartGetGigs for the last three months I have filled out 53 applications and have gotten no kind of activity on GigSmartGetGigs at all. Everything was filled out the way it should be all my skills everything done and all they’re doing is stealing your information to send you all these crazy scam emails and that’s what I’ve been getting and I traced it all back so don’t download this this is a scam app they are not helping you find work in any of the reviews saying that they do are people from that company trying to get you to come and put your information in so they can drain your account so your cash out PayPal or whatever cause they did that to me as well.

App has been working perfectly, user support is absolutely amazing they check on you regularly and reach out without an inquiry even. This is super helpful for side jobs and gigs to earn extra money in your free time and options are very flexible and convenient for anybody’s schedule GigSmartGetGigs is very simple to use and the services that were very helpful in my time of need. Everything moves fast and efficient and the contact from employers is very timely.

It took a while to get my first gig but the gig they offered was not a bad gig to have and I would have taken it permanently had they offered. But right now any permanent gig works just thankful for the part-timers I get. The only real problem is, I had to give up a 10% finders fee on gigs and also five percent of my total payout for same-day pay-outs. I don't mind the finders fee but having to pay to get paid doesn't seem all that great but everybody is trying to get paid but I seem to be paying twice to have one job.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Only wish I’d had it when I was still in college. As someone who likes a lot of freedom when it comes to when I can work, this is the PERFECT app. It’s like Uber, but I can actually use it to do stuff I want to be doing- like marketing work, coding, babysitting, dog walking, whatever- AND I don’t have to put miles on my car. I love using it and I can’t wait for it to grow even more!

I Although I have only used the GIGSMART Platform a few times, I can confirm that I have received payment within 30 minutes after finishing my shift. I commend the team for accomplishing this. Furthermore, I have noticed that the individuals I have worked for on the platform have consistently been amiable and conducted themselves in a professional manner. Therefore, I express my gratitude to GIGSMART and eagerly anticipate my upcoming shift on their platform.

I loved GigSmartGetGigs when I downloaded it at first.
But I have applied to 10-15 shifts and I don’t get accepted for them.
And that’s my problem with GigSmartGetGigs, unlike Wonolo, which once you select a gig, you’re locked in to start your shift.
This one is a bit complex, once you select a gig, you have to write about yourself, and why you’re good at that job. And it really gets tiring after the 5th time you have to write the same thing over and over again every time you apply for a gig.
Once you apply for the gig is up to the employer if you work the shift or not. So basically you probably competing against 20 to 50 more entries for the shift.
So that’s the negative about GigSmartGetGigs. Once you apply for a gig, you’re not guaranteed to get it. Even if they pick one of the people that applied for the gig. The Gig stays stuck on your profile saying that you applied for it. Sort of giving you hope that they will probably pick you but I fact they already filled their shift days ago.
That’s why I don’t like GigSmartGetGigs. And I will uninstall it. It’s been a month and I can’t land a shift there.

All of the jobs that are being posted are over 45 minutes away from my location. I’m in Greenville, and I’m really looking forward to having some jobs nearby that I can actually make it to if GigSmartGetGigs can either stop giving me jobs that are so far away or try to entertain the idea of having more jobs in the area. I’d be great but it says nearby nearby to meet at 20 miles or less so I would just really appreciate if we could try to focus on getting some more work in the area because otherwise, it’s absolutely not benefiting me.

Ultimately I requested to be removed from app. It came down to “options” I had for pay from client. I made a human error with clocking in in job site. I’ve never been late to any job. And I always represented myself and GigSmart beautifully. When I asked for help as the option I chose. I was met with complete rudeness and disdain. I was berated by a woman named Nicole. I explained my needs and was met with extreme and way left responses. I asked several time while speaking with this person to just leave a message to whom I had dealt with before. Which is a man named Stuart. The customer service I was given failed me. I never would treat a customer of mine with less than stellar decorum. When Stuart got back to me. He informed me of a recorded call. And our mutual kindness became non existent. As I stated the option I was told I could have chose. Was just that an option. My intent to chose option for GigSmart to expedite my pay on my behalf. From client that I mistakenly in error did not record. Well, it became a train wreck. I would not recommend GigSmartGetGigs. Jobs are not varied enough. Many glitches and again do not ask anyone there to look up your information. They will have a brain aneurysm over going above and beyond. I do hope more engaged staff and protocols happen. It’s a cool name for app. Other than that it’s just a waste of time.

First time I downloaded it was sketchy, to just leave all your information there, in a app that there’s no real person.
So I finally got a gig, so I followed directions exactly how it told me to go and do, it took me to a shopping center Stevens Creek near Santana Row, there was a few of us waiting on a parking lot, so it was like 3:00 PM, we started at 3:30 or supposed to, there was a no-show for the employer,There was a contact number, I’ve tried to text and called no answer very professional, everybody’s asking me if it was a scam, I told them this was my first time as well.
Anyways heading down to the chase my point is very super unprofessional how GigSmartGetGigs has it as well as third-party I never did the job they didn’t show up and i didn’t get paid I tried to contact the number, no answer I left my contact number no call so I gave them a 0, careful people, oh yeah, they restricted me from GigSmartGetGigs , try to say my fault, WOW, I just didn’t argue, your not the only app, it’s a gig, side work, a hustle, but very UNPROFESSIONAL, UNORGANIZED, NO GOOD, oh did I say that I never got paid for the 3 hours waisting my time, so far by far a waist of my time and the people that where waiting as well.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why GigSmartGetGigs has so many 5 stars ratings if every comment I have read is about all the problems no pay no customer service and many more . Is GigSmartGetGigs fixed . Cause so many bad complaints but all 5 stars just seems like there doing there own thing for people who don’t pay attention to comments . Shame thought this was a good app till I started reading then it’s one disaster after another. I must of read 30-40 complaints all different about them sir complaints uncommon with like2 positive seems to me all the rating should be 1-2 stars ⭐️ if there lucky with very few 5 stars like the complaints say no customer service except 1 lady had someone walk her threw it with a phone number this must be company written 30 ish no customer service complaints they can’t get no one to one that gets a total run threw I have not he’d of helping videos like Uber that answers all your questions !

I have applied for and gotten work with two local companies several different times. The jobs are great, very flexible with your schedule, you get to choose your desired shift and pay arrives within 24 hours to four days later, depending on what day of the week you work. When you’re picking your job, it gives you a list of requirements and expectations, and after your hired list again to remind you of what’s needed for the job ahead gives you directions/how to get to your place of work and clock in and out and take your breaks through GigSmartGetGigs - Couldn’t be easier! It’s just a great app - i use it all the time, it is a great help on supplementing my income! Definitely would highly recommend!
