Relief Guru

Relief Guru is a Canadian pharmacy staffing platform that helps pharmacies find qualified professionals and gives pharmacists, technicians and assistants access to relief shifts and permanent roles. Its platform connects a network of more than 5,000 pharmacy professionals across Canada, from Toronto to Vancouver, and supports independent pharmacies, hospital pharmacies and multi-location chains.

For pharmacies, Relief Guru offers on-demand relief staffing and permanent recruitment, alongside tools to manage staffing in-house. Teams can share shifts with their own employees, trusted contacts and the wider professional network, manage applications and communication, and coordinate coverage across locations. The platform is designed to help pharmacies cover sick days, vacations and shortages, as well as add support for services such as prescribing and vaccinations. Pharmacy plans use a flat monthly platform fee without a per-shift platform charge.

For professionals, Relief Guru provides flexible relief shifts and full-time opportunities, with no commission deducted from agreed pay. The company also offers calculators, hiring and tax checklists, career guides, continuing education resources and a course finder.
