How Temper helps you find great freelance hosts
Hosts with customer-facing experience
Each freelancer has a profile with ratings, work history and attendance data. This makes it easier to choose someone who’s confident welcoming customers and keeping the shop running smoothly.
Fast responses when footfall increases
You’ll usually receive applications within around 90 minutes. Helpful when queues form at the entrance, an event draws in more visitors, or extra guidance is needed on busy days.
Clear pricing, explained in advance
Before confirming a shift, you can review the host’s hourly rate alongside the fixed €4.40 platform fee. This gives you a clear picture of costs before making a decision.
Freelance hosts via Temper
How are retail hosts rated on Temper?
After each shift, you can rate the freelancer from one to five stars. You can also leave feedback on friendliness, communication skills and how well they supported customers. This information is visible on the profile for other businesses to review.
How does this differ from using an agency?
Agencies often involve intermediaries and less flexible processes. With Temper, you work directly with freelancers and manage everything digitally, from posting a shift to completing payment.
Can I work with the same hosts again?
Yes. After a positive experience, you can add a host to your Flexpool. They’ll receive priority notifications for future shifts, making it easier to bring back familiar faces who know your store.

FAQ about hiring retail hosts through Temper
Are there any additional costs for placing shifts through Temper?
Temper is known for its transparency. For each hour worked, you pay the FreeFlexer's rate, plus a €4.90 user fee to Temper. Both are due only after the shift is completed. This includes use of the software, the automatic billing system, support services and the FreeFlexers insurance package that comes with each shift. There are no fees other than this for using Temper!
Can multiple freelancers be hired at the same time?
Yes, absolutely. For large projects – like an office relocation or a complex logistics job – you can post multiple shifts at once. You’ll receive responses from available professionals for each one.
What if a freelancer doesn’t show up?
It rarely happens, but if it does, you can mark the freelancer as a no-show. Their attendance rate is adjusted and they are temporarily deactivated. You can claim a €100 compensation and find a replacement quickly via the platform. This helps you stay on track, even if things go wrong.
Is Temper suitable for both short and longer shifts?
Yes. You can post shifts for a few hours or for full trading days, depending on what your store needs at that moment.
How quickly will I receive responses to my shift?
You will usually receive first applications within 90 minutes. Then you choose the profile that best fits your shift.
