Optimize Event Staff Hiring and Onboarding
Efficient event staffing starts with a streamlined hiring process. Shiftboard simplifies hiring, onboarding, and team organization to improve efficiency, ensuring staff are properly prepared and ready to perform.
- Collect and review applications with a streamlined screening workflow that helps you approve candidates quickly while tracking details for large-scale staffing.
- Verify orientation, training, and credentials to ensure compliance before scheduling, so staff are fully qualified and prepared for their roles.
- Segment teams by role, location, or both to organize by job type and venue, making scheduling, communication, and workforce coordination seamless.
Automate Scheduling and Adapt to Last-Minute Needs
Manual scheduling is inefficient and error-prone. Shiftboard automates shift assignments, reduces administrative work, and ensures full shift coverage.
- Event managers can assign shifts, enable self-scheduling, or use a hybrid approach to create flexible scheduling formats that fit event needs.
- With auto shift assignment, staff are matched to shifts based on predefined rules for team, location, or role, reducing errors while allowing manual adjustments.
- Staff can trade shifts in real time within set guidelines using shift trading, minimizing manager workload while maintaining shift coverage.
Keep Staff Informed with Real-Time Communication
Timely communication is critical for smooth event operations. Shiftboard centralizes updates, ensuring staff receive the right information when they need it.
- Broadcast emails let managers send event-wide announcements or targeted crew updates without the hassle of individual messages.
- Text alerts and shift confirmations provide instant notifications for last-minute changes, helping staff stay informed and confirm urgent assignments.
- Maps and locations make it easy for staff to find parking, check-in points, and key event areas using interactive maps with directions and details.
Track Time, Attendance, and Vouchers with Ease
Visibility into staff check-ins and voucher distribution is essential for smooth event operations. Shiftboard automates tracking to reduce manual oversight.
- Check in with mobile time clocks, QR codes, or IVR to monitor attendance in real-time and receive alerts for tardiness or no-shows.
- Vouchers for food and merchandise can be distributed and redeemed digitally via QR codes, with reports to track usage and redemptions.
