Various features and automation levels ranging from
manual to fully automated are available in the application to staff
personnel based on your business rules or preferences.
The level of automation implemented is highly dependent on your
business work flow, staffing process, desired scheduling control,
and general preferences. This application, generally, uses position centric
staffing methods. Person centric staffing is available in Blueprints
via the job allocation tool.1
A variation of the following features may be implemented to staff
personnel:
- Drag and Drop - fills vacancies on the Roster from
the People Filter using a dragging method.
- Switch - fills on-duty personnel.
- Fill By Person - fills vacancies with thePeople Filter,
and Fill By Person.
- Fill By Rules - with a strategic rules process, Fill
By Rules automatically produces an orderly list of candidates
derived from user defined qualifiers and minimum staffing levels.
Schedulers can control which vacancies are filled first and who
they choose to contact from the list of candidates.
- Outbound - automatically contacts people to fill vacancies
using the phone module. Schedulers can control which vacancies are
filled first and can either staff in Fill By Rule order - OR - use
Fill By Person and override the rules to select any candidate.
- Auto-Hire is a scheduling job tool set in the Task
Manager and used to automatically offer working opportunities
at user defined time periods. Auto-hire uses a position centric
staffing method. Vacancies are staffed in Fill By Rules order
where the first person on the list is offered to work the position
first utilizing user defined reserve periods as set by customer
business rules and timing dependencies within the configured rules.
The candidate can accept, reject, or skip the opportunity. When
the job offer expires or elapses the next candidate is called and
given the opportunity, and so on. Also available for Blueprint jobs
as of application 7.2 using theAuto-Hire for Blueprint Jobs task
type, same concept as auto-hire but targets blueprint jobs.
Note: Auto-hire
is an automatic staffing tool used when business rules are consistent
and predictable. Schedulers cannot intercede with the selection
process or fill order once the Auto-Hire process starts to
offer job opportunities. However, authorized staffers can make changes
to the outcome of an Auto-Hire run.
- Auto-Assign- is a scheduling job tool set in the Task
Manager used to automatically fill vacancies, and commits employees
to do the work. Jobs are scheduled during user defined time periods.
Vacancies are staffed in Fill By Rules order. Not available
for Blueprint jobs.
Note: Auto-Assign is an automatic staffing
too used when business rules are consistent and predictable. Schedulers
cannot intercede with the selection process or fill order once the Auto-Assign process
starts. Auto-Assign does not offer, it staffs and commits employees
for job assignments. However, authorized staffers can make changes
to the outcome of an Auto-Assign run.
- Job Allocation - is a scheduling tool used to staff Blueprint
jobs. The job allocation tool schedules people by allocating (assigning)
each person to the best fit job using a combination of rules, job
allocation filters, sorts, and passes. This is person centric staffing.
Requires a Blueprint license to access.
