Kortrijk has more than 81,000 inhabitants and lies on the Leie, about ten kilometres from the French border. Since 1965 the city has also had its own KU Leuven campus, Kulak. Work here follows the terraces along the Leie, the trade fair calendar of Kortrijk Xpo and the businesses of Kortrijk-Noord. On AnyShift, Kortrijk businesses post their shifts and shifters choose where they work.
Kulak students study for exams in January and June, and part of the student workforce drops out. In those weeks, flexi-jobbers from Kortrijk and Kuurne keep the terraces on the Leie and the shops on the Ringlaan staffed.

Popular sectors in Kortrijk
Where shifts open up most often in and around Kortrijk.
Do the terraces along de Leieboorden hire flexi-jobbers?
Yes, especially on sunny days, when the long terrace by the Broeltorens fills up. Bars around the Grote Markt also post extra shifts then.
Can I combine shifts with my classes as a Kulak student?
Yes, you decide which shifts you take, so you plan around your classes and exam study. An evening on the Leie or a Saturday at Ring Shopping often fits next to a week of lectures.
How far is Kortrijk-Noord from the centre?
The business park lies on the northern edge of the city, partly in Kuurne. From the centre you get there quickly by bike.
When does Kortrijk Xpo need the most set-up help?
In the days just before a big fair, when 40,000 m² of halls are being fitted out. Reception and catering need extra people then too.
Can my shop on the Ringlaan find someone for a shopping Sunday?
In 2026, Ring Shopping opens on 13 and 20 December, among other Sundays. Post such a shift a few weeks ahead so shifters can fit it into their schedule.
