How can we help?

VibrHire is made by Altera Tech LLC, a small team of tech builders in West Chester, PA. We build products that make people’s lives, and local businesses, better. VibrHire started with a simple idea: it should be easier for young people to find a first job they’ll actually like.

VibrHire matches you with part-time jobs at local businesses. Instead of a resume, you take a quick vibe check about how you like to work. We compare it with each workplace and show you the jobs that fit you, your schedule and how far you want to travel.

No. VibrHire is free for job seekers. Businesses pay a monthly plan to post jobs and hire.

Anyone 14 or older. If you’re 14–17 you may need a work permit before your first shift, and you should use VibrHire with a parent or guardian’s knowledge.

No resume, ever. Experience is optional: if you have some, you can add the level and the kinds of places you’ve worked. Lots of jobs on VibrHire are first jobs.

Most teens and young adults don’t have much work experience yet, so a resume doesn’t say much about who you are. How you like to work does. Matching your vibe with the workplace’s means you’re more likely to enjoy the job, and the business is more likely to end up with a happy employee who sticks around. It’s a good fit for both sides.

Three sliders: how social you like to be at work, the pace you like, and how dressed up you want to be. There are no wrong answers. Businesses answer the same kind of questions about their workplace, and we compare the two.

No. Your answers, scores and match percentages are only shown to you. A business only ever sees a label: “Great fit” if you match 80% or more, or “Good fit” for 50–79%.

A job shows up in your Matches when all of these are true: your vibe fits the workplace at least 50%, it’s within your commute, at least one of its shifts lines up with the times you said you’re free, and the law lets you work that shift at your age. Great fits come first, then Good fits, newest first.

It might be a lower vibe fit, outside your commute, or its shifts might not match your free times. You can still find it by browsing and apply anyway. If it says “Not eligible yet,” the hours or duties aren’t allowed at your age yet, and it tells you when you can apply.

Right away when you change your availability, commute, zip code or vibe, and again every day (for example, when summer break starts or on your birthday). Applications you’ve already sent aren’t affected.

Yes, any time: Profile → Redo vibe check. Your new answers only change future matches. Applications and waitlist spots you already have stay as they are.

It’s approximate, measured from the middle of your zip code. If you’re 18 or older you can allow your precise location for exact distances. If you’re under 18 we never collect your exact location, only your zip code.

It hides the job from your Matches. You can still find it by browsing.

Your full name, email and phone, your age in years (or “18+” if you’re an adult), your availability, your experience, your fit label, and the job you applied to. Never your birth date and never your vibe answers. Before you apply, a business only sees your first name and last initial (like “Alex R.”), never your full name, age or contact details.

It keeps things safe and fair: your application speaks for you, and nobody can slip personal info into it. Once you’ve applied, the business can message you in the app.

It depends on the business. If they don’t reply within 21 days, the application closes as “No response.” That doesn’t count against you, and you can apply to that job again after 30 days.

Yes. Open the job and tap Withdraw. The business immediately loses your name, age and contact details. You can re-apply while the job is still open.

The job involves hours or duties that aren’t allowed at your age under Pennsylvania law (for example, late shifts or serving alcohol). The job tells you when you can apply: during summer break, or at a certain age. The business is never told.

The business marks you as hired and you’ll see “You’re hired!” in the app, and you can sort out the details in your messages with them. If you’re under 18, they’ll ask you for your work permit before your first shift.

They saw you as a match and want you to apply. Matches only show a business your first name and last initial, fit label, availability, experience and rough distance, never your full name or contact details. The invite shows at the top of your Matches and lasts 14 days.

Just ignore it. The business isn’t told you said no; the invite simply expires.

Some businesses aren’t hiring right now but want to be ready. Join their waitlist and when they open a job, everyone on the waitlist who can work it gets invited to apply first.

Every waitlist has two groups. Joining puts you in Regular. Boosting moves you to Priority, and Priority people are invited first. There are no position numbers, for you or anyone else.

You get 1 free boost every month. You can earn up to 3 more by inviting friends, so you can have up to 4 at once. Boosts reset on the 1st of each month. If you remove a boost, you get it back for that month.

Share your invite link. When a friend signs up with it and finishes setting up their profile, you get a boost (up to 3 earned, 4 in total). Boosts have no cash value.

No. Within each group, people are ordered by how complete their profile is, then by when they joined.

Only businesses you’ve applied to. Businesses can’t message you just because you’re a match or on their waitlist.

Block them from the ⋯ menu in your conversation. They can’t message you or see your profile, their jobs disappear for you, and any application is withdrawn. The business is never told you blocked them; it looks like a withdrawal. Every block is also reviewed by our team.

Profile → Safety concern. Reports are confidential: the business is never told who reported them. We review every report within 24 hours. In an emergency, call 911 first.

Interviews and trial shifts happen at the business, during business hours. If you’re under 18 you can bring a parent or trusted adult. A real business will never ask you to pay to get a job, and every job on VibrHire must be paid: no unpaid trial shifts. Never share passwords, bank details or your Social Security number in messages.

If you’re 14–17, businesses see an “Hour-restricted” badge before you apply, so they know teen hour limits apply. That’s all they see about your age until you apply.

Pennsylvania law sets the limits, and VibrHire only matches you with shifts you’re allowed to work. Age 14–15: during the school year, up to 3 hours on a school day, 8 on a non-school day and 18 a week, between 7am and 7pm. During summer and winter break, up to 8 hours a day and 40 a week, between 7am and 9pm. Age 16–17: during the school year, up to 8 hours a day and 28 a week, between 6am and midnight. During breaks, up to 10 hours a day and 48 a week, between 6am and 1am.

At 16 you can work food service and clearing tables where alcohol is served. Pouring and bartending start at 18 (some places require 21).

If you’re 14–17, usually yes. Your school can tell you how to get one. Your employer will ask for it before your first shift.

If you’re under 18 you can invite up to 2 people from Profile settings. They can see your profile, matches, applications, waitlists, invites and messages, but it’s view only: they can’t apply, message, boost or change anything.

No. Businesses are never told.

Yes, any time from Profile settings. When you turn 18, linked access pauses and you choose whether to keep or remove each person.

With your phone number and a 6-digit code we text you. There are no passwords.

Profile → Profile settings. You can change your name, email, phone, experience, availability, commute and zip code. A new email or phone needs a code to confirm it. Your birth date can only be changed through Contact us, so age rules stay accurate.

Yes. In Profile settings you can turn off notifications for new matches, waitlist updates and messages. You’ll still see everything in the app.

No. We never sell your personal information.

Profile → Profile settings → Delete account. It removes your profile, applications and waitlist spots. Businesses you applied to keep messages already sent, shown from “Deleted user.” This can’t be undone.

Profile → Contact us. We read everything and reply within 2 business days.
