Modified on Wed, 24 Sep at 2:38 PM

The Quick Crew Member Assignment feature enables managers and coordinators to rapidly match available crew members with open jobs, streamlining urgent placements and improving flexibility for both staff and agency operations.




Key Benefits

  • Faster placements by skipping interest-waiting steps and directly assigning jobs.

  • Improved candidate experience, especially when someone is available or needs to be moved to a better-fit position.

By the Numbers

  • Agencies using Quick Assignment report 2x faster job fills in candidate-driven scenarios.

  • Over 50K mobile users access NextCrew’s scheduling and job features monthly.



Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the Crew Member Profile screen in NextCrew.

  2. Click the vertical ellipses (top-right) and select Make Offer.

  3. View all open jobs where the crew member might fit—including jobs already assigned or showing interest.

  • Choose to assign, transfer, or decline the crew member for specific jobs.

  • Review the assignment for overlap: if crew member is already working at the selected job’s time, a prompt will appear and confirmation will not be allowed.

  • Once verified, confirm the assignment—crew receives immediate notification and status update.



Example/Use Case Scenario

  • Dispatcher gets a call: “I can work next week.” From the crew profile, quickly see all matching open jobs and directly assign roles without delay.

  • Move a crew member from a canceled job to a newly opened shift with just one screen and click—no back-and-forth needed.


FAQ

Q: What happens if a crew member is already booked for another job at the same time?
A: The system will prevent confirmation and show a prompt that the crew member is already booked, ensuring no double-booking occurs.



Legacy Compatibility

  • Quick Assignment works alongside legacy manual workflows, helping agencies transition smoothly to digital operations.
