Services/ Hourly Help & an Extra Pair of Hands/ Crew Assistance

Crew Assistance

Short a few hands on the crew?

— add them by the day.

The big install day, the push to finish before inspection, the job that came in bigger than the crew you have. A vetted local worker — or a few — slots right into your crew, takes direction from your lead and works your pace, for an offer you set. No staffing-firm markup, no head-count contract, no cut taken out of their pay. You pick your help by name, rating, and reviews — and request the ones who worked out again.

Why crew assistance is better here

Three things a staffing firm won’t do

Gopher isn’t a staffing firm marking up every hour and locking you into head-counts. It’s a local marketplace built on three simple rules.

🤝

Hassle free & haggle free

Make an offer up front or ask for instant bids. Either way you’ll experience the easiest way to find great workers ever — one extra body for the morning or a half-dozen for the big push.

💵

Paid directly

Your workers are paid directly and keep 100% of your offer — 0% commission. No staffing-firm cut skimmed from their pay, and no head-count contract to sign.

🛠️

Booked to done

The extra hands you pick by name and rating slot into your crew, take direction from your lead and work your pace — hauling, carrying, prepping, cleaning up — till the push is done.

What changes for you

Crew assistance with Gopher vs. a staffing firm

Same extra hands on the job, very different deal. Here’s what shifts when you bring on help directly instead of through a firm that marks up every hour.

What changes

Staffing Firms & Labor Brokers

The Gopher Way

💵What you pay

×A marked-up bill rate per body — you pay one number, the worker sees a fraction of it.

✓You name the offer and each worker keeps 100% of it — no markup between you and them.

👥Slots into your crew

×A stranger sent with their own rules — or a clause that says no taking direction.

✓Extra hands that take direction from your lead and work your pace, right alongside your crew.

🛠️What they’ll do

×A rigid job classification and a list of tasks that aren’t covered.

✓The heavy stretch your crew needs covered — hauling, carrying, prepping, demo cleanup.

🧾The cut

×Keeps a third or more of the bill rate as margin — on every body, every hour.

✓Keeps 0% of your workers’ pay — they get all of it, you just pay a small app fee.

📈Scale up & down

×A contract, a head-count minimum and weekly commitments to carry.

✓Add a body for one big day, drop to zero the next — no payroll to carry between jobs.

⚡How fast

×An account, a PO and a callback before anyone shows up.

✓Nearby workers alerted now — extra hands on site, often same day.
