Three sections. Tell us about you, where you can work and what you’d like to do.

Picked up where you left off. Start fresh

i.

You

Your contact details are not shown in public search results. See our privacy policy for how hiring companies get in touch.

Some work is age-restricted (alcohol service, certain licences and site roles). Under-18s are welcome for plenty of event work, this just flags it for hirers. Never shown publicly.

ii.

Where you're based

Work is matched by location, so this bit matters most. UK only for now.

First part is plenty (e.g. YO1). Distance only, not your address.

miles from home

This is a hard limit, not a preference: we only tell you about jobs inside it. Be honest and be generous. The wider you go, the more paid work reaches you, and hirers still see the nearest crew first, so a big number won't get you pestered for small local gigs.

iii.

What work would you like to do?

For each role, choose Done it or Happy to learn. Leave the rest.

Self-declared. Hirers must check the actual ticket or card before you operate any plant or work at height.

Worth being specific if "done" means something different to what a hirer might picture — e.g. bell tents you've pitched at a festival for a paying client is not the same as your own tent in the back garden. Say which one.

Free to join. No agency taking a cut. One email gets you off the list whenever you want.

CrewPool connects you with companies who hire you directly and agree your pay with you. We take no cut from your wages and no responsibility for the work arrangement. We are not an employment agency.

welcome aboard

You're on the list.

The next time a company near you looks for crew, your details are right in front of them. Keep your phone on.

Offers come as a text from CrewPool and an email from [email protected]. Check your spam folder once now so the first one doesn't slip past.

Want your phone to ring first?

Companies ring the fullest profiles first. Two more minutes puts you near the top.

Hirers pick faces they can see. Shown to companies on your profile card; it's shrunk to a small size on your phone before it's sent.

Give their email and we'll ask them to confirm with one tap. A confirmed reference just means a company you've worked for vouched for you, the single biggest boost to your profile. It isn't an ID, ticket or right-to-work check; hirers still check those themselves.

Only if you want age-specific roles (e.g. 21+ venues). Never shown publicly, hirers only see your age, never the date.

Got dates you definitely can't work? Add them

Tap the days you can't work. Blank = flexible. Tap again to undo.

= can't work
No days blocked off, you're flexible.

Know someone who grafts? If they join off your link, you BOTH get pinned near the top of the list for 30 days, so companies see you first.

What is CrewPool?

CrewPool is a free UK list of event, festival and bar crew. You add your details once: where you live, how far you'll travel, and what you've done or are happy to learn. Event companies, festival contractors, bars and Christmas market operators search the list by distance and contact you directly. You agree your pay with them. CrewPool isn't an agency and never takes a cut of your wages.
