Once jobs have been searched and are listed in Scheduling 2.0, a new option of ‘Show Previous Workers’ is available under the 3-dot menu of all jobs.

This option allows the search of workers who have worked in this job for an ‘x’ period without the need to add new shifts to the job.

Selecting the new option will show a new pop-up, which allows the selection of a period for which to search for previous workers against.

On clicking ‘Confirm’, workers who match the selected criteria will be listed in the applicant pane in the bottom of the screen, ready to be placed as required.

A pill of ‘Previous Workers : <job title> - <job ref>’ will be displayed in the applicant’s search bar to indicate this search has been completed.

By clicking on a shift and displaying the Shift pop-up, both the start and end dates can now be adjusted to more than 24hours in the future or the past, without the need to navigate to the Job Schedule to do this.

This prevention allows for more powerful functionality to be introduced to ARCRM for the manipulation of shifts e.g. individual shift requirements, change of date and time etc

Existing duplicate shifts will remain as duplicates and Access Recruitment CRM will apply appropriate rules to prevent certain actions from being taken against the shifts.

From various areas within Access Recruitment CRM, while creating new shifts or updating shifts, so that they would become duplicates to existing shifts, the following message will be displayed:
​“Some of these Shifts already exist. The number of Applicants required will be increased on these existing Shifts. Do you want to continue?”

The following areas of Access Recruitment CRM will be affected by the new check and prevention steps:
