They have no idea how to run a business
During my years with them I realized that they have allowed the facilities (where/how they get paid) to have full control over the app and who works for them. They will lie and say that it’s first come first serve but it isn’t true. I’ve done research and digged to find out after a while I haven’t been consistently being accepted for shifts and that’s ultimately why. The facilities that pay them have full control with bias over you as the PSW/RPN/RN. If they don’t know OR like you or; prejudge you through the app for any reason you will never get work, or be accepted. That’s why when you are the first one to click on the job after a few minutes you will receive a msg that states “shift has been filled” because they chose someone else over you. It may pay well but, it isn’t worth giving them any attention because they don’t value you as an employee and they aren’t fair towards your worth as a healthcare worker. You are just a number and they are making millions off of you and the select few facilities that they are comfortable working with.
I have worked for SO MANY agencies as a PSW and I would have to say that by design Staffy is the most unreliable staffing agency in the GTA in terms of getting consistent work on a weekly basis. Bookjane is a much better alternative due to the fact that it’s really first come first serve. As a Web developer in understanding databases I’ve learned Staffy’s backend UI, and it allows a list of whoever applied to said shift; in which allows the facilities to choose and pick who they want to work/attend the shift. The HR staff lie through there teeth day in and day out trying to get the employees to believe that you just weren’t the first one but, there UI isn’t set up that way in the first place. Where Bookjane is concerned, their UI is set up where if you pick the shift first it will disappear from the list of shift’s that were originally posted for the staff to pick. But with Staffy‘s UI it allows multiple staff to pick and send in a request for the shift position and only then the facility that they have as a client will go and see who’s available by face and pick and choose who they want to work thus, sending the request back to Staffy, as they use the app to let you know if the shift is filled or if you are chosen. So that is literally how they developed their platform which allows bias, manipulation, control, and only in their favour they profit off of it.

Customer Service is quite bad
The fact that we can update certain things on our profile is really upsetting.
Also this app started great for me but now they made me lose over $1000 because they didn’t let me confirm my shifts even after submitting the RCMP check. Mind you, the company accepted my request even without the RCMP being on my profile because they said I’ll be charged $50 for it but Staffy said it was because I didn’t have RCMP.

App doesn’t work
This app consistently does not work. Every time I try to input my login credentials, the login button doesn’t work. It’s a deterrent from picking up shifts.
Lacking work opportunities
I thought there will be lots of opportunities inside this app, but there’s none for a week now. I think I just waited my time putting all my information.
Response from developer
We are sorry to hear you have had issues finding shifts in your area. We do recommend expanding your geographic zone to improve the number of shifts available to you. If you have continued issues please reach out to us at hello@staffy.com so we can assist with your search. Staffy
This is not relatable
They don’t protect their own contractors rights. Never respond or try to listen to the contractor needs .
Penalty
I should not rate this company since I drop out in the middle of the enrollment process. Here I want to point it out due to the penalty of calling out is being too high, it is impossible of choosing their service when they penalize around half of a daily shift. Thereby I am forced to stop my application in the middle. For example, I was in an orientation, it's required most facilities in NYC, in a nursing facility. During the extrenous circumstance, I was sent to emergency room and called out all following buddy's shift less than 48 hours. Hence, I conclude this app will not be sufficed for CNAs' who live in New York City.

Way too hard
I have tried twice now to set up this profile and am now officially giving up. Couldn’t upload resume, had to take a profile photo instead of uploading professional ones from my phone, and I don’t want to be forced to input full reference contacts before I can even see what job opportunities they offer. When I tried to press ‘back’ from the references page to delete my profile, it glitched and would let me leave the page - so now stuck on that page and can’t go forward or back, and I can’t delete my profile. My advice is loosen up on the strict rules so people can see the jobs you offer and actually know if they want to go through the rigmarole of signing up.

Really nice app
Staffy was a surprise for me! It gives you the opportunity to get great shifts with really good pay! Besides, the app itself is easy to use and informative as well. Well done!
Good service
Earned good amount in a short period of time. Really amazing 😇
Great app for quick work
I love how easy it is to pick up shifts when needed. This app makes it easy to pick up shifts, put in your own availability and get notifications. Definitely recommend it!!!
