Frequently asked questions

Why lead with the gap instead of the context?

Half of real staffing posts were flagged as too long to scan. People decide whether to pick up a shift in seconds. The dates and the ask have to be above the explanation, not below it.

Should this go to everyone at the location?

Send it to the people who can actually take the shift. Coverage requests sent site-wide get ignored by the majority who are not eligible, and that erodes response rates for the next one.
