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 local businesses to find young people who fit their team.

VibrHire connects local businesses with teens and young adults (14+) looking for part-time work. Instead of resumes, seekers take a short vibe check about how they like to work, and you describe your workplace the same way. We match the two, so the candidates you see are likely to fit your team.

Most teens and young adults don’t have much work experience yet, so a resume doesn’t tell you much. How they like to work does. When a candidate’s vibe fits your workplace, they’re more likely to enjoy the job and stick around, and you’re more likely to end up with a happy employee.

Great fit means the seeker’s vibe matches your workplace 80% or more; Good fit is 50–79%. You never see a seeker’s vibe answers or exact scores, only the label. Applicants below 50% can still apply; they just show without a label.

Seekers who fit your workplace at least 50%, are free for at least one of your shifts, are within their commute of your business, and can legally work at least one of your shifts at their age. Matches update as seekers change their availability and as you edit listings.

Yes: Profile → Edit. Saving a new vibe re-runs matching for your live listings right away.

An opening is a job you’re hiring for now: title, shifts, pay, start date. A waitlist is for roles you’ll hire for later: seekers join it, so when you’re ready you already have candidates. Converting a waitlist to an opening invites every eligible waitlisted seeker to apply, Priority first.

Seekers who boosted your waitlist are in Priority; everyone else is in Regular. Seekers get one free boost a month (more by inviting friends), so a boost is a real sign of interest.

Most listings are checked automatically and go live right away. If something needs fixing (like contact details in the description, unpaid trial shifts or discriminatory wording) you’ll see exactly what to change. Borderline listings get a quick human review. After a few clean listings you become trusted and skip review.

To keep teens safe, contact details stay inside VibrHire until someone applies. As soon as they apply, you get their name, email and phone automatically.

Yes, from the listing. A paused listing is hidden from seekers; applicants and messages stay. Resume any time.

If a live listing has no activity from your team for 21 days, we ask if you’re still hiring. If there’s no answer within 7 days, it pauses automatically so seekers aren’t left waiting. Applicants and the waitlist are kept, and you can resume any time.

Yes. It drafts a description from your title and details. Review and edit it before you submit.

First name and last initial (like “Jordan M.”), approximate distance, availability, experience level and categories, the fit label, and an “Hour-restricted” badge for 14–17-year-olds. No full name, age or contact details until they apply.

Their full name, email and phone, their age in years (or “18+” for adults), and the listing and time they applied. There’s no reveal step or per-candidate fee; it’s included in your plan.

Tap “Invite to apply” on a match. They get a notification and the invite lasts 14 days. You can send up to 25 invites per listing per day (shared by your team). If they don’t apply, the invite just expires; you aren’t told why.

We remind you when applicants have waited over a week. If there’s no reply from you 21 days after someone applies, the application closes as “No response” so they can move on. Replying in the first few days gets the best candidates.

The candidate withdrew their application. Their name, age and contact details are removed, the conversation stays readable, and no new messages can be sent.

The seeker deleted their VibrHire account. Messages already sent stay readable; their details are gone.

Anyone who applied to one of your listings. To reach a match or someone on your waitlist, invite them to apply first.

Open the conversation and tap “Mark as hired” (it appears once they’ve replied). Pick a start date if you have one, and choose whether to close the listing and let other applicants know. Made a mistake? You can undo a hire within 7 days.

Yes. Your whole team shares one business account, including listings, candidates and messages. Candidates see the first name of whoever sends a message.

The candidate is 14–17, so Pennsylvania’s child labor hour limits apply. VibrHire only matches them with shifts they’re allowed to work at their age.

Ages 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 breaks, up to 8 hours a day and 40 a week, 7am–9pm. Ages 16–17: during the school year, up to 8 hours a day and 28 a week, 6am–midnight; during breaks, up to 10 hours a day and 48 a week, 6am–1am. Scheduling within these limits is your responsibility as the employer.

Set “Alcohol involvement” on the listing: food service and clearing is 16+, pouring and bartending is 18+. We only match seekers old enough for it.

In Pennsylvania, workers under 18 generally need one. When you hire a 14–17-year-old, we remind you to ask for their work permit before the first shift.

Privacy. Before they apply you see only the Hour-restricted badge; after, their age in years (or 18+). That’s enough to schedule legally without collecting more than you need.

No. Every job on VibrHire must be paid, including trial shifts.

One plan: $19/month + tax. Unlimited openings and waitlists, every applicant’s name and contact details, messaging and invites. No tiers and no per-candidate fees.

When your first listing is approved and live, not when you sign up, so review time doesn’t count. Your first $19 charge is 30 days after you go live. We remind you 3 days before.

It keeps fake businesses away from teen job seekers. You’re charged $0 today and can cancel any time during the free month without paying anything.

If you have fewer than 5 candidates (matches, waitlisted and applicants together) when your free month ends, we add 2 more weeks free automatically, once.

Yes, for 1, 2 or 3 months (one pause every 12 months). While paused you pay nothing, listings are hidden, and waitlists keep growing. You can read messages but not send. Billing restarts on the resume date, or resume early any time.

You keep access until the end of the period you paid for. After that, listings are hidden and messaging is off, but your waitlists, applicants and messages are kept for 90 days, so you can resubscribe and pick up where you left off.

We retry on day 3 and day 6 and your listings stay live meanwhile. You can try again or use a different card in Billing & plan on the VibrHire website. If every retry fails, the plan ends.

No refunds for partial months, except where required by law. We give 30 days’ notice before any price change.

Send your exemption certificate through Profile → Contact, topic Billing, and we’ll apply it to your account.

Only the owner can change the card, pause or cancel, and it’s done on the VibrHire website (sign in, then Profile → Billing & plan). The app shows your plan but doesn’t take payments. The plan belongs to the business, so teammates don’t pay separately.

Yes, as the owner: Profile → Team → Invite teammate. They get an email link that lasts 7 days. Teammates can create and edit listings, see matches and applicants, invite, message and manage waitlists. Only the owner handles billing, the team and deleting the account. There’s no extra cost.

Profile → Team, then Remove next to their name. Their access ends right away; things they did (like messages sent) stay.

With a 6-digit code sent to your phone, or a sign-in link sent to your email. No passwords. Changing your email or phone needs a code to confirm the new one; the old one keeps working until you do.

Yes: Profile → Notifications, per person. Billing and renewal notices are always on.

As the owner: Profile → Account → Delete account. All listings and waitlists close, teammates lose access, applicant details are no longer visible, and your plan is canceled with no further charges. This can’t be undone.

Profile → Contact. We’ll reply to your email.
