In short

A worker on GapCrew sets weekly hours, a ZIP code and a travel distance, picks trades, and then sees only the jobs that fall inside that free time, and nobody can penalise them for saying no.

What you do

Four things, then the jobs come to you.

Set your free time

Enter your weekly hours and adjust single dates. GapCrew fills in about eight weeks ahead. A window can cross midnight.

Say where you are

Give a ZIP code and a travel distance. The default is 25 miles and the most is 50. No street address is needed.

Build your profile

Pick your trades and a main trade, and list skills, tools and experience. Profile photos and document uploads are not available yet.
