HappyShiftBook a Call

Fill shifts in minutes,
not hours.

When a caregiver calls out, your coordinator shouldn’t spend an hour on the phone. Sloan contacts every qualified backup simultaneously—by text and voice—until the shift is covered.

Hey Tim, we had a call-out for the 2:00 PM–10:00 PM shift in Chula Vista. It's non-medical support for an elderly male. Looks like it's a couple miles. Can you take it?
TTim
Yes I can take it.
Sloan
Perfect, you're confirmed. I've updated the schedule and notified everyone. Thanks Tim!

"I used to call 15–20 people to fill one shift. That's an hour of dialing. Sloan handles it before I finish my coffee."

Questions, answered.

How quickly does Sloan start contacting caregivers?

Immediately. The moment a call-out is recorded, Sloan identifies eligible caregivers and begins outreach—typically within 30 seconds.

Can we set rules for who gets contacted first?

Absolutely. You configure priority rules: preferred caregivers, proximity, overtime status, certifications, or any custom criteria specific to your agency.

What happens if multiple caregivers respond at the same time?

Fully configurable to your agency's workflow. HappyShift can auto-assign the shift to the first qualified caregiver who accepts, or route all responses to your coordinators for final selection. Settings can be defined per client, per shift type, or as a global default. Once the shift is filled, all other caregivers are notified automatically.

Does this replace our scheduling software?

No. HappyShift works alongside your existing systems. We handle the call-out coverage workflow—the part that eats up your coordinators’ time.

How long does it take to get started?

Most agencies are up and running within a week. We import your caregiver roster, configure your rules, and you're ready to go.

For caregivers

Caregivers love getting offered shifts—not chased for them.

Do caregivers actually like being contacted this way?

Most caregivers tell us they prefer HappyShift to the traditional phone-tag experience. They get more shift opportunities, they can respond on their own time via text, and they never feel pressured on a live call.

Won't caregivers feel spammed?

No. HappyShift only reaches out when there's a real shift that matches a caregiver's certifications, location, and availability. Every message is relevant, respectful, and easy to decline. Caregivers can also set their own preferences for how and when they'd like to be contacted.

Can caregivers ask questions back?

Absolutely. Caregivers can have a real conversation—ask about the hours, pay rate, or location—and get instant answers. It's like having a scheduler available around the clock who never gets annoyed and never forgets what was asked last time.

What if a caregiver wants to change or cancel later?

They can text back anytime. HappyShift handles schedule changes, questions about upcoming shifts, and cancellations in the same natural conversation—no app to download, no portal to log into.

Do caregivers prefer this to working with a human coordinator?

Most caregivers tell us it's not either/or—they appreciate that HappyShift handles the routine logistics instantly, which means their agency's coordinators are more available for the important conversations. More shifts offered, faster responses, zero phone tag.
