Staff havent been automatically notified of a newly published job

Staffwise won't automatically send out a job alert email to staff notifying them of a new job added to your job market. The reasons for this are:

  • The job roles might not be relevant to all staff in your database
  • The location of each shifts might not be within travelling distance of all the staff in your database
  • Staff that receive job alerts that don't relate to them occasionally consider those emails as spam and will mark them as spam or unwanted

Therefore when you publish a job to the job market the best practice is to ensure that those staff being notified are suitable:

  • After publishing a job to the job market the system will prompt you to search for staff within a given radius of each published location.
    • You can also choose to search as shown here on the shifts page
    • See Publish article for more details about publishing and searching for staff
    • You can also apply more filters on the staff search page to further ensure the list of staff is suitable and capable
  • Once you have a list of suitable staff for this job you can contact them in one of three ways. Each of the following methods will prompt you to email the staff:
    • Email / Text
      • This would be an open email to staff that wouldn't be directly linked to any particular job.
    • Invite / Shortlist
      • These options would ask you to select a job or jobs and therefore would include job and/or shift information
