Finding a shop assistant with Jobby
- Why searching takes time. A shop assistant helps customers, restocks shelves, and occasionally helps out at the checkout, all during the hours your store is busiest: Saturdays, late-night shopping evenings, and the weeks leading up to the holidays. It is precisely at those times that candidates are least available. On JobFunders, there are 500+ vacancies open for shop assistants in Flanders (surveyed in September 2026): you are therefore competing with many other employers for the same people.
- Typical regimes. Part-time contracts, Saturday and late-night shifts, early shifts to replenish fresh products, and extra staffing during sales and the end of the year.
- This is how Jobby helps. Jobby searches talent pools of 260,000+ profiles 24/7 and also activates passive candidates who do not respond to vacancies. The first SMS invitations are sent within 2 minutes of activation; you will see your first candidates within 48 hours. With a single must-have such as "available on Saturdays," candidates who cannot meet these requirements are immediately filtered out. You only speak to those who can truly fill your schedule.
- Flexi-job workers and student workers. For evenings, Saturdays, and busy periods, you can also hire flexi-job workers or student workers. Outside the hospitality industry, the basic flexi-wage is at least the salary scale for the position, or the GGMMI if no scale applies. Read our guides. hire a flexi-job worker and hire a student worker.
- Minimum wage. The applicable minimum wage depends on your company's joint committee. You can find the amounts in the Minimum wage database of the FPS Employment.
- Fair price. An annual subscription of €1,500 (Solo) to €6,000 (Scale) with a match guarantee, or €100 per approved candidate. A free ATS is included and there are no selection fees.
- And compared to interim? As a market average, a traditional interim agency charges a coefficient of approximately 2.10 on the gross salary for the duration of the interim period. If you still wish to start on an interim basis, Jobby finds and screens the candidate, and you work via payroll for an interim partner at a market-average coefficient of approximately 1.60. These are estimates: adjust them with your figures in the recruitment cost calculator. If you need shop employees who are immediately available on very short notice, an interim agency can be the right choice.
