New York staffing marketplaces with transparent listings and clean payouts.

Codeeo takes on staffing marketplace website development New York operators need to sell shifts and assignments across the five boroughs, take payment from the businesses that book, and pay agencies and freelancers accurately. We build the client booking site, the supplier portal and the commission and payout engine. New York City and New York State both regulate how roles are advertised, how algorithms rank candidates and how freelancers are contracted, so those rules are designed into listings, matching and checkout from the start.

This page covers the web marketplace and its payments rather than a worker app. A New York client should be able to post an order from a desk in Midtown or a phone at a Brooklyn venue, pay correctly, and trust that the supplier was vetted.

Built for

Marketplace features

The parts of a New York staffing marketplace that clients and regulators look at first.

New York City buyers book in very different ways. Hotels and banquet halls in Midtown and around Hudson Yards book servers and porters for events. Arenas such as Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center need crews by call time. Manufacturers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard want production cover, and restaurants from Flushing to the Lower East Side need someone tonight. Many suppliers commute in from Queens, the Bronx, Long Island and New Jersey.

The rules are dense. New York City has required salary ranges in job ads from November 2022, and New York State followed in 2023. Local Law 144 requires a yearly bias audit, a published summary and candidate notice before an automated tool is used to screen New York City candidates. Freelancers are protected by the city's Freelance Isn't Free Act and a newer state law. The capabilities below are built around those requirements.

Explain your project
  • Salary range fields on listings

    Listings for roles performed in New York must show a good faith minimum and maximum pay range under city and state law. The listing form requires both values for New York roles, rejects open-ended ranges, and keeps a history of every edit. Your compliance team can export all live listings with their ranges at any time, which helps if a supplier or the city's Commission on Human Rights asks how a listing looked on a given date.

    Every New York listing carries a valid pay range.

  • Bias audit ready matching

    If the platform scores, ranks or filters candidates for New York City roles, Local Law 144 may treat it as an automated employment decision tool. We design matching with clear inputs, log selection outcomes in the format independent auditors use, and add the required candidate notice. Your counsel decides whether the law applies; the data is ready if it does.

    An annual bias audit becomes a data export.

  • Freelancer contracts and payment dates

    When a client hires an independent professional, the platform generates a written contract listing the services, rate, method and date of payment, as the city and state freelance laws expect. Both sides sign electronically, and the platform reminds the client before the payment date. Late payments are flagged to your team, and the contract and payment record can be exported if a freelancer files a complaint.

    Freelancers are paid on the date the contract states.

  • Total price at checkout

    From February 2024, New York law requires that a credit card surcharge be included in the price shown to the customer. Checkout shows the full amount for each booking, including platform fees and any card surcharge, before the client confirms. Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay go through a PCI DSS compliant provider.

    No client sees a price rise after confirming.

  • Sales tax by service type

    New York taxes certain services, including protective services such as security guards and building cleaning and maintenance. Whether a booking carries sales tax depends on what is being supplied and how the arrangement is structured. Each category has its own tax setting chosen by your adviser, and invoices show tax lines separately.

    Tax treatment is consistent across every borough.

  • Data security under the SHIELD Act

    The SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for New York residents' private information and sets breach notification duties. The platform encrypts sensitive fields, restricts admin access by role, logs every export and keeps a documented incident plan. Bank details for payouts stay with the payments provider rather than in your database, which shrinks what an attacker could reach.

    Supplier and client data is protected and auditable.

  • Transit-aware service areas

    Most New York City suppliers travel by subway, bus or commuter rail, and many commute in from New Jersey or Long Island. Each supplier sets the boroughs and areas it will cover, and late-night orders only reach suppliers who have opted in to them. Clients see realistic fill options rather than a long list of providers who cannot get there.

    Orders reach suppliers who can actually arrive on time.

  • Event orders by call time

    Venue and banquet clients order crews by role, call time and dress code, not shift by shift. One order can cover bartenders, servers, porters and security across a weekend, filled by several suppliers. The client approves a single consolidated invoice when the event closes.

    Large events are booked in one place.

  • Accessible booking for every client

    Federal courts in New York see a large share of website accessibility lawsuits, and checkout flows are a common target. We design to WCAG 2.2 AA with keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, clear form errors and sufficient color contrast, and test booking and onboarding with assistive technology before launch.

    Lower legal risk and a booking flow anyone can use.

  • Commission, payouts and disputes

    Approved bookings split into your commission, tax and the supplier's payout through a licensed marketplace payments platform. If a client disputes hours, only that payout pauses while timesheets, approvals and messages are reviewed. Ratings come from completed bookings only, and your team can moderate unfair reviews and suspend repeat no-shows without deleting history.

    Suppliers are paid on time and disputes close on evidence.

Who this is for

New York businesses building a staffing marketplace.

A marketplace that tries to serve every New York buyer at once usually serves none of them well. Hospitality, events, light industrial and professional freelance work each bring their own buyers, rules and booking speed. Staffing booking platform development New York clients bring to us generally starts from one of these four positions, and the first release is cut to match whichever one fits. Later releases add the next buyer type once the first is trading well.

01

A banquet and hospitality marketplace

Hotels, caterers and event halls in Manhattan and Brooklyn book servers, bartenders and porters days or hours ahead. The first release covers event orders by call time, card and invoice payment, supplier ratings and quick payouts. Managers often book from a phone between events, so the order form is short and remembers past orders. Pay ranges, uniform notes and venue access instructions travel with each order, so suppliers know exactly what the job involves before accepting.

Repeat orders in two taps keep managers booking.

02

A freelance creative and professional platform

Agencies, media companies and startups book photographers, producers, designers and developers for project work. Every booking creates the written contract the freelance laws expect, payments are held until milestones are approved, and payment dates are tracked. Where a role is advertised, salary range fields apply.

Contracts and payment dates handled by the platform.

03

A light industrial marketplace for the outer boroughs

Food distributors, warehouses and manufacturers in the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn need pickers, packers and production cover. Suppliers are usually agencies, so onboarding checks registration, insurance and workers' compensation cover. Clients get standing orders for recurring weekly needs and consolidated monthly invoices. Because cleaning and maintenance work can carry New York sales tax, those categories get their own tax setting from the start.

Recurring orders reduce last-minute scrambles.

04

An agency adding AI matching

You already run a staffing business and want the platform to rank candidates for each order. Because Local Law 144 may apply in New York City, we design matching with audit-ready logging, candidate notices and a human review step, and help you prepare the data an independent auditor will need before the feature goes live.

Build the audit trail before the algorithm.

Questions New York operators ask about staffing marketplaces

It depends on the categories, supplier types and compliance features in the first release.

A hospitality marketplace with card payments and agency suppliers launches sooner than a platform that also handles freelancers, AI matching with audit logging and enterprise invoicing. We fix the first New York release scope and its dates in writing during discovery, before design starts, and schedule further categories as later releases. Payment setup and any audit-ready matching work start first, because they carry the most timeline risk.
