System and interfaces for managing temporary workers

Abstract

Described herein are embodiments of a system that permits various entities (e.g., hiring, staffing, and client computer systems and / or devices) involved in the placement of a candidate to a job to interact systematically to carry out functions that conventional systems are unable to perform. These functions may, for example, include synchronizing systems of different entities involved in placing a worker, effectively tracking a temporary workers during a placement and / or hiring process, and post placement activities. To this end, systems and method are provided that permit a handshake process between disparate systems to complete a candidate placement process, timesheet approval and processing, consolidated invoicing, customized analytics and reporting, supplier onboarding of temporary workers, and post-hiring tracking, among other novel tools, interfaces and functionality.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system that combines the functions of computer systems and software applications used by employers and staffing firms to work together more efficiently. The system integrates workflows between the entities to streamline the placement of temporary workers and manage invoicing and reporting functions. It also creates a marketplace for temporary workers and open positions, connecting employers with staffing firms in a single platform. The system allows employers to view available talent, pull placements, and track applicants and invoices. Overall, the system simplifies the hiring process and improves operational efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, according to one aspect, it is appreciated that existing capabilities for managing and tracking workers across multiple different entities are not sufficient, as the managing and tracking may involve coordination between the multiple different computer and software systems.

Given the large volume of job requisition, candidate, and worker records that are to be stored, updated, and tracked, the inability of the different computer systems and software applications to interact leaves these computer systems and software applications unable to carry out several functions associated with hiring activities.
