Overview

NextCrew offers multiple workflows for assigning crew members to jobs, providing flexibility for staffing coordinators to either confirm interested staff or directly assign personnel when appropriate. This guides agencies in handling both proactive (interest-based) and direct (admin-driven) assignments efficiently.


Navigation

  • By Job:

    • Go to Workspace → Orders → Jobs, search for the specific job.

    • Click the vertical ellipses (three dots) on the job listing and select "Invite."

    • Find the desired crew member and click "Confirm" to assign them immediately without requiring them to show prior interest.

  • Alternative: Access the job via the Calendar or through the related Order screen.

  • By Crew Member:

    • Visit Workspace → Orders → Quick Offers.

    • Select a crew member and assign them directly to a job—they will be confirmed instantly.

Functionality Overview

  • Direct Assignment: Allows staffing coordinators to assign crew to jobs without waiting for expressed interest, streamlining last-minute or high-priority placements.

  • Confirmation & Notification: Once confirmed, the crew member receives an immediate notification about their new assignment, ensuring prompt awareness.

  • Interest Management: When confirming those who already expressed interest, navigate to Workspace → Orders → Offers, filter by "Interested," and confirm as needed.

Additional Notes

  • Notifications are sent out as soon as a crew member is confirmed on a job, reducing the risk of no-shows and confusion.

  • The system gives flexibility—if an agency knows who is suitable for a job, they can bypass the interest step and proceed with direct assignment.

FAQ

  • Q: Can a job be assigned if no one has shown interest yet?
