How are freelancers rated on Temper?
After a completed shift, you rate the freelancer from 1 to 5 stars. You can also note if they showed up on time and confirm specific skills. Your rating becomes part of their profile and helps others make the right choice.
What’s the difference between Temper and a staffing agency?
There are many. The biggest: staffing agencies employ their workers; Temper is a digital bulletin board where freelancers connect directly with businesses. With Temper, you choose who you hire and see costs up front. No intermediary fees. Everything, from posting the shift to payment, is arranged online. That means you can scale fast and stay in control.
Can I build a pool of favourite freelance baristas?
Yes. After a shift, you can add freelancers to your Flexpool (your selection of favourites). They get priority for future shifts, so you’ll be working with familiar faces more often.

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 new replacement via the platform. That way, you still stay on track, even when things go wrong.

Yes. You can hire several at the same time, for example, for a festival or corporate event. Sign up and take a look around with no obligation
