Shift Planner uses Temp job data so: Need to have shift details to fully utilise availability calendars Do you follow best practice for skilling candidates (job titles) and marking as Temp Do you need compliance visibility within search results (quick search displays compliance components) |
Greater awareness of unfilled shifts (reporting, Voyager BI) Utilise Shift Planner "quick search"to place individually or in bulk Re-enforces best practices for skilling candidates Visibility to compliance checks from results Utilise shortlist steps by making the job a shortlist job (allowing you to visualise CV submissions and interviews) |
Adding job data that may never be filled Perceived as slower (although it is only the same amount of data as you would eventually input) |
- Using Temp Planner to identify available candidates and directly place candidates. Managing workers via Shift Planner or Temp Planner

|
Temp Planner uses candidate data so: You don't know specific shift details You need to review alternative candidate data* |
