Building Shift Templates with Required Skills – Croux

Shift Templates let you build a shift once and reuse it in seconds, and Required Skills make sure the talent you match with can actually do the job. Together, they make posting faster and your matches sharper.

This article covers creating a shift template, the fields it holds, editing and reusing it, and what happens when you post from one.

Shift templates

Instead of building every shift from scratch, start from a template. Choose a role to begin, then save your setup to reuse any time.

Each template holds the role, shift details, pay, and required skills, so your next post is ready in a couple of taps.

How to create a shift template

Go to Shift Templates
Choose Select a role to start, or pick one of your saved templates
Name your template and fill in the shift details, uniform, address, and pay. Every template shows a recommended pay range for the role, based on platform data and market research
Add the Required Skills for the role (see below)
Save, and reuse it any time you post a similar shift

What a template holds

Name — the template label (e.g., "Festival Event Setup Staff")
Role — the job title. This is what Concierge matches on: only Croux who carry this position are considered for the shift
Description — duties, responsibilities, and qualifications
Business address and location details
Default start and end times — shifts of 4 hours or more are easier to staff
Experience minimum — set this on skilled roles. On most roles, a template set to zero years is open to anyone carrying the position. On skilled roles such as Line Cook and Bartender, Concierge only selects Croux who have done that role, on a Croux shift or in work history they listed. Croux with related experience may be invited to apply, and you decide whether to select them
Pay — with the recommended pay range for the role shown alongside
Uniform and dress code expectations
Required Skills — up to six per role

Save any shift as a template

You can also save a shift as a template while you are creating it. Toggle on Save shift as template? and enter a template name — the shift posts and the template is saved to your menu for next time.

Templates can be edited, duplicated, or deleted from the Shift Templates page at any time.

Required Skills

Required Skills tell us what a shift really needs, so we can match you with talent who have them. Add skills like lifting 50+ lbs, making craft cocktails, knife skills, carrying loaded trays, or working a high-volume room.

Choose + Add skill and pick from the list. Each role starts with three preset skills, and you can add up to three more. Before applying, talent must attest that they have each required skill, so your applicant pool is pre-qualified from the start.

Why it helps

More qualified talent: applicants confirm they have every required skill before they apply
Better funnel: fewer mismatches, so the right people show up ready to work
Stronger partnership: clear expectations up front mean better outcomes for you and the talent who power your shifts

What happens when you post from a template

Posting from a template works exactly like posting a shift from scratch. Concierge matches Croux who carry the role and meet the experience minimum on the template, and selects them for the shift. They are on your shift once they accept. You can still remove anyone, including someone already hired, up to 24 hours before the shift starts at no charge.

When you edit a template, the estimated total uses scheduled hours. Verified clock-in up to 10 minutes early, when talent is at the worksite and ready and available to begin work, can increase your final bill at the applicable shift rate plus applicable service fees. See the Croux Terms of Use.
