How flexpools work
"The bigger your flexpool, the bigger your spread and the easier it is to fill your shifts all year round."
- Patrick, Assistant Manager banqueting department. Read more.
Get the most from your flexpool
You’ll get the option to invite a professional to your flexpool as you go through checkout. At this stage, you’re in the best position to decide if they are a good fit for your business.
Remember, checkout is your one opportunity to enrich your flexpool with top talent!
Keep your flexpool healthy and check it regularly. Remove inactive members and always look out for new talent. Inviting someone for a shift a few times allows you to assess them first before the flexpool.
Keeping your flexpool up to date ensures you always have reliable and skilled professionals at your disposal.
Boost efficiency by creating flexpools to fit your specific needs. You can have a general flexpool, as well as specialised flexpools for different regions or job types.
For even greater control, you can create multiple flexpools for the same job, with professionals split by the type of their skills.
Finding the right balance is key. If your flexpool is too small, there may not be enough FreeFlexers available to fill your shifts. With too a large flexpool, FreeFlexers may find it hard to get a shift and lose motivation.
To stay effective, your flexpool size needs to fit the scale of your business. For example, a restaurant with 4 daily shifts would aim for a flexpool with 10 to 15 professionals.
You can create an unlimited number of flexpools. FreeFlexers, for their part, can participate in up to 8 flexpools. So it's important to make your flexpool as attractive as possible.
You can do this, for example, by posting recurring shifts. By consistently offering employment, you create a strong sense of community and motivate professionals to choose your pool over others.
Messaging apps allow you to efficiently keep in touch with your flexpool. Easily let professionals know about new shifts and increase the chances of filling last-minute shifts.
Keeping in touch will also help strengthen the bond between you and your flexpool to develop a sense of community and commitment.
