The labour market is and remains tight. This is also unmistakably evident at Temper: there is a lot of choice in shifts for FreeFlexers. As a client, you would therefore do well to make your shift stand out from the rest of the available options. But how to do so? We give you 5 practical tips.
1. The winning photo
Add one or more photos to you company's profile that show at a glance what the location of your company looks like and reflect the atmosphere. As they say "a picture says more than a 1000 words". As a FreeFlexer scrolling through the shift overview, your eye is more likely to fall on a striking, typical, sharp photo of the location. Which makes them more likely to take a look at your shift page.
2. A competitive hourly rate
The great thing about the Temper platform is that you are in control. Also when determining your hourly rate. In order to stand out from all the other shifts, setting a competitive hourly rate is also important, of course. As a tool for setting the hourly rate, check the average rate of similar jobs in your area. This will give you the best chance of receiving applications from the best FreeFlexers.
3. A full description of the shift
Panel interviews with FreeFlexers show that, when choosing a shift, they pay close attention to the description, or additional briefing. It is easiest to read what the shift and activities exactly entail in a few short paragraphs or listed in bullet points This makes it clear to FreeFlexers what they can expect and what they have to comply with. Also think about details such as a possible end time delay, the breaks and the accessibility of the location by public transport.
4. Plan your shifts as far ahead as possible
Most qualitative FreeFlexers prefer to plan their shifts a few weeks to a month in advance. The further ahead you are, the fewer shifts there are still planned by other clients, making your shift stand out even more.
On the one hand, you give FreeFlexers more time to respond to (several) shifts and, on the other hand, you have more time as a client to screen the applications based on ratings and work experience. And are you not sure yet whether you will need FreeFlexers in a few weeks time? With a flexible cancellation period of your choice you can cancel your shift up to 24 hours in advance.
5. Publish a recurring shift
Post a recurring shift for several days in the week or month. Scrolling through the shifts, many may be overlooked. A shift that is scheduled more often or even daily stands out more in the shift overview to the FreeFlexer than a single shift per month. Repetition is the key word here.
Use these tips to spotlight your company's shifts and the best applications will pour in.
