Instawork

As you start completing shifts with Instawork, you will find workers (or Pros) that you love working with. Instawork gives you the opportunity to save your favorite Pros to a list, or roster. You'll want to add your favorite Pros to your roster for a few reasons:

You can give Pros first access to your shifts When you post a new shift, Instawork alerts Pros on your roster first to see if they can fill the shift. The Pros then have the opportunity to pick up the shift before it goes through the full dispatch process. ​

You can specifically request rostered Pros for future shifts. You might meet a Pro that is the perfect fit for a job you have coming up. When that Pro is on a roster, you can book a shift and specifically request the Pro(s) who you already know would be the best fit. Note, when requesting a specific Pro, it’s best to give at least 7 days lead time. <a href="https://help.instawork.com/en/articles/2062210-can-i-choose-my-own-instawork-professionals">Learn how to request Pros from your roster.</a> ​

You can build multiple rosters to keep organized. You can group your favorite Pros into different lists, or rosters, that match your business needs, such as location, business department, type of positions, or Pro qualification. <a href="https://help.instawork.com/en/articles/5511147-how-can-i-create-and-manage-my-roster">Learn how to manage your rosters.</a>

Okay great! So how do I add  Pros to my roster?

After you work a shift with a Pro, you have the option to rate them. In both the mobile app and web dashboard, this will appear in the shift details and in the “Ratings” tab. <a href="https://help.instawork.com/en/articles/2281199-why-providing-feedback-on-instawork-professionals-is-important-and-how-to-do-it">Learn about rating Pros.</a>

By selecting +Roster and providing some feedback, the Pro is added to your roster. ​

If you haven't completed any shifts yet, you can still add Pros to your roster. To review profiles and build a network of Pros, go to the "Professionals" tab and click "Browse." ​

Here you can review profiles of Pros in your area and click "Add to roster" if you think they would be a good match. You can also view their full profile to see their work experience, certifications and feedback from other Pros and Partners. 

To view, manage, and request Pros on your roster(s), go to the "Professionals" tab and click "Your roster."
