<\/h2>\nWhat\u2019s the problem?<\/h2>\n
Currently, each role has skills automatically applied based on the industry standards. This impacts shift fulfillment rates by decreasing the amount of qualified workers available as the list of requirements rise. With <\/span>11.4 million job openings<\/span><\/a> in the US labor market, thanks to the nationwide shortage of workers, it\u2019s crucial now more than ever that employers adapt to attract talent.<\/span> Having a list of essential skills is not a bad thing. In some cases, this is necessary to fit the client’s requirements, and workers should fit that profile. But what about when this isn\u2019t the case?<\/span> If some of the skills are not required by the client, the right workers might be overlooked and unable to apply for the job.<\/span><\/p>\n We strive to give control and choice to our clients. With this update, they can specify what competencies are <\/span>essential<\/span><\/i> when posting jobs. The update includes an easy-to-use toggle that, when turned off, indicates that the skill is flexible.<\/span> Our templating function means that if you take advantage of this new update, you can save your skills preferences as a job template once you\u2019ve perfected them. This means you can post jobs quickly and easily with your new preferred competencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We really hope you enjoy the new features.
