Recruitment and consulting company

Due to it's flexibility Timezynk is used by organisations in various industries, for example, healthcare, recruitment & consulting, railway, hotel & restaurant, facilities management, etc.

While using the system with the standard settings for shifts and time reports work well for some of our customers, we believe that tailoring the system to fit one's needs is what makes the biggest difference in daily operations.

Set up for a recruitment and consulting company

A recruitment and consulting company typically has to deal with a lot of consults, and a lot of customers, spread out between different projects or assignments. To be able to deal with that in a smooth way, it is important that the shift contains the necessary information for the consult to carry out it's work, and for the scheduler to have a good overview.

In the example below, we've taken a look at the consulting companies that use Timezynk and looked at what they are doing to simplify their scheduling.

In this example, Anna is going to work at Coolcustomer as an IT-consult on the project Test 2.
From the shift info Anna kan see when she is starting her shift, when she has her break, which customer, which task, which project and the address of the work location. The address will also create a link for her that she can click on to get directions if needed. There is also a comment field if there is any more information that Anna needs to know regarding that shift.

When in "Register settings", go to the register "Customer"
Click "Edit" on the address that you want to be visible in the shift
Check the box "Show in linked registers" and save

By clicking on the field, you get a drop down menu displaying the options that you can add to the dynamic title.
Tip! You can also change what you want as a separator between the field information

5. Change order of the fields in your shifts (optional)

You can drag and drop the fields to change their order, you do this by dragging the fields up and down by the dotted lines to the left of the fields.
