Smartphone apps are being used for everything nowadays, from home delivery and grocery ordering to meeting potential partners or booking movie tickets. So it should come as no surprise to know that an app can also be used to fulfill staffing needs. A staffing app can help you bring together clients and employees, maintain the employee’s log in and log out times and even help you to understand your workforce better with the help of data analytics. Here are some reasons why you should consider a staffing app:
- It’s Time-Saving: How exactly would you let a number of different potential employees know about a job opening? You might have to call each one up individually or send them individual emails. But with an app, you just put all the information on your app and everyone who is logged in has access to that information as and when you post it.
- It’s Convenient: Everyone has a smartphone nowadays. And the easiest way to reach someone is via their smartphone. You know that this is one device that no one is going to forget. So they will have instant access to your posts. Plus, they’ll always have their phones with them to log in, log out and turn in virtual timesheets.
- It’s Informative: By looking over the data analytics from your app at month end, you can figure out many things such as how many people seem to be interested in and available for certain types of positions. In certain fields, there might be a lot of people available while in other fields, there might be very few qualified candidates. Your app can help you figure out the demand for candidates and the supply of candidates in each field where you work.
An app can simplify your workflow and make your entire agency more efficient at placing the right candidate in the right company. Whether you’re placing people in temporary or permanent positions, an app can help to keep everyone connected, facilitating the spread of information and making it available to candidates no matter where they are, in a format that they can easily read on their phone screens.
