A bit about us
Stint was founded to empower workers to choose when and where they work so they can build the life they want. But it's not just the Stinters we're helping. We're transforming the way businesses staff - helping local pubs to multinational chains operate in a more efficient and effective way.
Our mobile and web apps connect a flexible workforce to a variety of businesses for short shifts of work, and these short shifts make a big difference. For Stinters: Stint offers a flexible way to earn money on their terms. For businesses: Stint transforms staffing and operational efficiency, for the benefit of teams, customers and their bottom line.
We operate in lots of cities around the UK, and at the end of 2021 we were named in
LinkedIn’s Top 10 UK Startups. We have a full-time team of 50+, over 200,000 Stinters have created accounts, and we work with some of the biggest names on the high street like PizzaExpress, GAIL’s, Chipotle and more. And we’re only just getting started.
We’re looking for someone who believes in our mission. We want everyone to love what they do, continuously take on new challenges, and be inspired to build long-term relationships with colleagues as they grow with Stint. We like to have fun and we enjoy working hard without taking ourselves too seriously.
We look forward to working with you!
