Before you start

Have these four things ready.

Use a computer or your phone’s browser — Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Incomplete profiles are the most common reason approval takes longer.

An email you check

Shift offers and confirmations arrive by email, so use an address you actually read.

SSN or EIN

For the W-9 you sign when you apply for your first shift. We cannot pay you without it.

A recent photo

Head and shoulders, plain background. Clients approve profiles before events.

Bank details

For direct deposit. Invoices cannot be generated without them.

How it works

From account to first shift.

Creating your account
01

Go to the Shine portal

Open the registration form at the bottom of this page, or go to shineagency.staffconnect-app.com and click Create an Account.

02

Fill in your profile

Complete every required field. Two of them decide which jobs you will see, so take your time.

Work Areas — the cities and regions you can travel to. You will only see shifts in the areas you select.

Skills & Qualifications — mark your languages honestly. Many of our clients require English, and bilingual staff get priority on a lot of bookings.

03

Wait for approval

A Shine team member reviews your profile, usually within 1–2 business days. You will get an email once you are approved.

Until then you can log in and edit your details, but you cannot apply to shifts yet.

Booking your first shift
04

Find available work

Log in and open the Job Board. That is where every shift you qualify for is listed. Your Calendar is different — it shows the shifts you are already booked on.

You will also get an email when new shifts open up that match your profile.

05

Apply

Open the shift, read the role details, times and pay rate, then click Apply.

Applying is not a booking. It tells us you are available and interested. Apply to everything that fits your schedule — more applications means more chances to be booked.

Your first application also asks you to complete a W-9. It is a standard US tax form and we cannot pay you without it. Fill it out in your browser, not the mobile app — the form is long and does not always display correctly on a small screen.

06

Get selected and confirm

If you are selected you get an email and a push notification asking you to confirm. You are not booked until you click Confirm.

Once confirmed, the shift is yours and we are counting on you to be there.

07

Block the dates you cannot work

Open Unavailability and mark any days you are not available — vacation, another job, exams, anything.

This keeps us from offering you shifts you would have to turn down, and it is the single easiest way to stay in good standing with the booking team.

Event day
08

Before the day

Open the shift and read the Notes and Shared Files. That is where you will find the dress code, meeting point, parking details and the client briefing.

Install the Shine app on your phone for check-in, schedule changes and messages.

09

On the day

Arrive early. Use the app to check in when you arrive and check out when you finish. Your hours come from these timestamps, so missing one delays your payment.

Start and end your breaks in the app as well, and upload any photos or complete any survey the shift requires.

Getting paid. Your pay is calculated from your check-in and check-out times. Make sure your W-9 and bank details are complete in your profile — invoices cannot be generated without them. You can view your payments anytime under Pay in the app menu.

The Shine app

Check in, get messages, see your schedule.

Once you are approved, the app is where the work happens on event day. Install it before your first shift — check-in and check-out run through it, and that is what your hours are calculated from.

Confirm quickly

Selections are time-sensitive. If you do not confirm, the spot goes to someone else.

Never no-show

If something happens, tell your manager as early as possible so we can find a replacement. No-shows are recorded on your profile.

Keep your profile current

New language, new certification, moved cities? Update it. It changes which shifts you are offered.

Your performance is rated

You are rated after each shift. Good ratings get you first pick on our best events.

This is the Shine staffing portal. Everything — your profile, shift offers, check-ins and payments — lives here.
