[Figure 8] 6 is a diagram showing an example of a work share collaboration screen (recruitment detailed settings) in the information processing system of FIG. 5. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] First, with reference to FIG. 1, an overview of a service (hereinafter referred to as "this service") that can be realized by an embodiment of the information processing system of the present invention (see FIG. 2, which will be described later) will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of this service that can be realized by an information processing system to which a server according to an embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention is applied.

[0012] This service enables the linkage of a shift management device 1 that manages shift information including shift schedules for one or more workers scheduled to work on a specific job (for example, work at a "paid nursing home for the elderly"), and a job application device 2 that outputs job search information related to the specific job to one or more workers (worker terminals 3 used by the workers) scheduled to work on the specific job.

[0013] For example, in the present service shown in FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 has a function of posting a job advertisement based on insufficient shift information. Specifically, for example, shift information including a shift schedule of one or more workers scheduled to be engaged in a predetermined job is input by the shift input unit 101 of the shift management device 1. Based on the shift information, the shift display and management unit 102 of the shift management device 1 extracts, as shortage time periods, specified time periods in which the number of workers already scheduled to engage in a specified job (hereinafter referred to as the "planned number of workers") is insufficient compared to the minimum number of workers engaged in the specified job (hereinafter referred to as the "minimum number of workers") previously set for each time period in the shift schedule. The job recruitment unit 103 of the shift management device 1 transmits to the job application device 2 a notice (hereinafter referred to as a "job recruitment notice") that a job is being recruited for a predetermined job during the acquired shortage time period. As a result, when a job recruitment notification is sent from the shift management device 1, the job recruitment output unit 201 of the job application device 2 outputs job search information including information that a job is being recruited for a specified job during a shortage time period to the worker terminal 3.

[0014] In addition, for example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 has a function of automatically reflecting applications or cancellations to the shift schedule when a job offer is advertised. Specifically, for example, when a specified worker applies for a specified job, the job application receiving unit 202 of the job application device 2 accepts the application from the specified worker and sends a notification to that effect to the shift management device 1. When a predetermined worker cancels a predetermined job, the job offer cancellation reception unit 203 of the job offer application device 2 accepts the cancellation from the predetermined worker and sends a notification to that effect to the shift management device 1. In the following, notifications that a designated worker has applied for or canceled a designated job will be collectively referred to as "application / cancellation notifications." When an application or cancellation notice is sent from the job application device 2, the shift display and management unit 102 of the shift management device 1 automatically reflects the application or cancellation of a specified worker in the shift schedule.

[0015] In addition, for example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 has a function that allows the service provider or the like to view information on workers who have applied. Specifically, for example, the shift display / management unit 102 of the shift management device 1 displays information about a predetermined worker whose application has been accepted on a predetermined display device in a format that can be viewed by a service provider or the like. Furthermore, the shift display / management unit 102 of the shift management device 1 may display information about a predetermined worker whose cancellation has been accepted on a predetermined display device in a format that can be viewed by a service provider or the like.

[0016] Furthermore, in the present service shown in the example of FIG. 1, for example, the shift management device 1 has a function that allows information held by the job application device 2 to be set as recruitment conditions when recruiting. For example, in the present service shown in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 has a function of limiting the scope of disclosure when recruiting. For example, in the present service shown in FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 has a function of automatically reflecting input shifts in the shift schedule.

[0017] In addition, for example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the job application device 2 has a function of displaying job offers. For example, in the present service shown in FIG. 1, the job application device 2 has a function that allows the user to apply for and cancel a job offer.

[0018] Furthermore, in the present service shown in the example of Fig. 1, the shift management device 1 may have a function for exchanging messages with the worker who applied (worker terminal 3). In this case, although not shown in Fig. 1, the shift management device 1 is connected to the worker terminal 3 via a network or the like (see Fig. 2 described later). For example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 may have a function to cancel an applied worker. For example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 may have a function of automatically extracting shortage days and automatically placing advertisements in bulk (for example, with one click). For example, in the example of this service shown in Figure 1, if the specified work is related to nursing care or medical care, the shift management device 1 may have a function to perform legal staffing and surcharge checks (scans) for nursing care or medical care. For example, in the example of this service shown in Figure 1, if the specified work is related to nursing care or medical care, the shift management device 1 may have a function to output a list of work styles related to nursing care insurance from the created shift.

[0019] Furthermore, in the present service shown in the example of Figure 1, the shift management device 1 can automatically create shift information based on shift data previously created using spreadsheet software (for example, an Excel (registered trademark) file or a CSV file). Specifically, for example, the shift management device 1 uploads shift data (for example, Excel (registered trademark) files or CSV files) previously created using spreadsheet software as past data. The shift management device 1 automatically creates a base of conditions, such as "staff axis (e.g., Person A has 10 days off per month)" and "day axis (e.g., on July 20th (Sat) there are two people on the day shift, two people on the early shift, and two people on the night shift)" from past data. The shift management device 1 then processes the base of conditions as appropriate to finalize the conditions. For example, if there are data from the past three months, a person can visually check the conditions and make any necessary corrections, and since there may be new additions or deletions (joining or leaving the company), check at this time (as this cannot be predicted from past data) to finalize the conditions. The shift management device 1 automatically creates shift information including a shift schedule based on the determined conditions. Since it is difficult to complete a 100% shift schedule, target values ​​that are not acceptable (plotted on the staff axis and the number on the day axis) are color-coded to make them easy to see. The person who schedules shifts for service providers, etc., can make adjustments to the shift schedule based on the target values ​​(numbers). This makes it easy for them to schedule shifts because they can make adjustments while viewing everything on one screen.

[0020] Furthermore, for example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 can automatically create shift information based on the shift input software provided by the present service. Basically, this is the same as the automatic creation of shift information based on shift data previously created using spreadsheet software (for example, Excel (registered trademark) files or CSV files) as described above. However, instead of using general-purpose spreadsheet software, data created using the shift entry software provided by this service is accumulated, and shift information is created based on that data. In other words, shift information is automatically created based on data manually created on the shift entry software provided by this service, rather than input using general-purpose spreadsheet software.

[0021] In addition, for example, in the present service in the example of FIG. 1, the shift management device 1 has a function that allows the work patterns and working hours of each day or each staff member to be pinned (fixed display) on either the vertical axis or the horizontal axis. Specifically, for example, the shift display and management unit 102 of the shift management device 1 displays work patterns for multiple days or for each employee, and pins (fixedly displays) work patterns that need to be confirmed when scheduling shifts on either the vertical or horizontal axis, and displays this information on a specified display device in a format that can be viewed by service providers, etc. The shift display and management unit 102 of the shift management device 1 has many worker shifts and work patterns (for example, "early shift," "late shift," "night shift," etc.) and is difficult to view at a glance. Therefore, by pinning (fixing display) the work patterns and work hours for each day or employee on either the vertical or horizontal axis, the information necessary for scheduling shifts can be confirmed, making it easier to schedule shifts.

[0022] Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the configuration of an information processing system that realizes the provision of the above-described service, that is, an embodiment of the information processing system of the present invention, will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an embodiment of an information processing system according to the present invention.

[0023] The information processing system shown in FIG. 2 is configured to include a shift management device 1, a job application device 2, and worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n. The shift management device 1, the job application device 2, and the worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n are connected to one another via a network such as the Internet.

[0024] The shift management device 1 is an information processing device managed by the service provider of this service in Fig. 1. The shift management device 1 executes various processes to realize this service while appropriately communicating with the job application device 2 and each of the worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n. The job application device 2 is an information processing device managed by the service provider of this service in Fig. 1. The job application device 2 executes various processes to realize this service while appropriately communicating with the shift management device 1 and each of the worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n. Each of the worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n is an information processing device operated by one of n workers (n is an integer value of 1 or greater), and is configured as a smartphone, tablet, personal computer, etc. Hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish between the workers 3-1 to 3-n individually, they will be collectively referred to as the "worker terminal 3" as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

[0025] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a shift management device in the information processing system shown in FIG.

[0026] The shift management device 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input / output interface 15, an input unit 16, an output unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

[0027] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 into the RAM 13 . The RAM 13 also stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes.

[0028] The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are connected to one another via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to this bus 14. An input unit 16, an output unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20 are connected to the input / output interface 15.

[0029] The input unit 16 is configured with, for example, a keyboard and is used to input various information. The output unit 17 is configured with a display such as a liquid crystal display, a speaker, etc., and outputs various information as images and sounds. The storage unit 18 is configured with a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) or the like, and stores various data. The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices (for example, the job application device 2 and worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n in FIG. 2) via a network N including the Internet.

[0030] Removable media 30, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory, is appropriately attached to the drive 20. A program read from the removable media 30 by the drive 20 is installed in the storage unit 18 as needed. Furthermore, the removable medium 30 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18.

[0031] Although not shown, the job application device 2 and worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n in Fig. 2 can also have basically the same configuration as the hardware configuration shown in Fig. 3. Therefore, a description of the hardware configuration of the job application device 2 and worker terminals 3-1 to 3-n will be omitted.

[0032] Various processes for providing the present service of Figure 1 can be executed by cooperation of the various hardware and software that constitute the information processing system of Figure 2, including the shift management device 1 and job application device 2 of Figure 3.

[0033] FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the shift management device and the job application device of FIG. 3 in the information processing system of FIG. 4, the components of the shift management device 1 are designated with a "-1" at the end of their reference numerals so as to distinguish them from similar components of the job application device 2. On the other hand, the components of the job application device 2 are designated with a "-2" at the end of their reference numerals so as to distinguish them from similar components of the shift management device 1.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4, in the CPU 11-1 of the shift management device 1, a shift input unit 101, a shift display / management unit 102, and a job recruitment unit 103 function to manage shift information including a shift schedule of one or more employees scheduled to work a specified job. The shift display and management unit 102 has a shortage extraction unit 111, a shift schedule reflection unit 112, and an applicant viewing unit 113.

[0035] In addition, in the CPU 11-2 of the job application device 2, a job output unit 201 and an application / cancellation receiving unit 210 function to output job search information related to the specified job to one or more job seekers who are scheduled to engage in the above-mentioned specified job. The application / cancellation reception unit 210 includes a job application reception unit 202 and a job cancellation reception unit 203 .

[0036] The shift input unit 101 of the shift management device 1 inputs shift information including a shift schedule of one or more workers scheduled to be engaged in a predetermined job. The shortage extraction unit 111 of the shift management device 1 extracts, based on the shift information, a predetermined time period in which the number of planned employees is short of the minimum number of employees, as a shortage time period. The job recruitment unit 103 of the shift management device 1 transmits a job recruitment notice to the job application device 2, notifying that a job is being recruited for a predetermined job during the acquired shortage time period. When a job recruitment notice is received from the shift management device 1, the job recruitment output unit 201 of the job application device 2 outputs to the worker terminal 3 job search information including information that a job is being recruited for a specified job during a shortage time period.

[0037] When a specified person (a specified worker using a specified worker terminal 3) applies for or cancels a specified job, the application / cancellation reception unit 210 (the job application reception unit 202 and the job cancellation reception unit 203) of the job application device 2 accepts the application or cancellation from the specified person and sends an application / cancellation notification indicating this to the shift management device 1. When an application or cancellation notice is received from the job application device 2, the shift table reflecting unit 112 of the shift management device 1 reflects the application or cancellation of a predetermined person in the shift table.

[0038] The applicant viewing unit 113 of the shift management device 1 displays information about the predetermined person whose application has been accepted in a format that can be viewed (by the service provider, etc.) on, for example, a predetermined display device (not shown) of the output unit 17-1.

[0039] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 5. In addition to the basic functions of the first embodiment, the second embodiment is an embodiment that aims to expand the additional management function and personnel recruitment function specialized for work related to nursing care or medical care. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of an information processing system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, in the CPU 11-1 of the shift management device 1 in the second embodiment, the following functions are added in addition to the functions of the first embodiment. First, the shortage extraction unit 111 (FIG. 4) in the shift display / management unit 102 has been functionally expanded as a recruitment target extraction unit 311 (FIG. 5). In addition to the function of the shortage extraction unit 111 in the first embodiment (the function of extracting, as a shortage time period, a predetermined time period when the number of planned employees is short of the minimum number of employees), the recruitment target extraction unit 311 has a function of extracting, as an expanded recruitment time period, a predetermined time period for recruiting personnel due to facility expansion or new opening. This makes it possible not only to recruit personnel when there is a shortage of personnel, but also to actively recruit personnel when expanding a business or starting a new business, thereby realizing strategic personnel acquisition, such as scouting talented personnel after checking their performance through spot work.

[0041] In addition, the following six functional blocks have been added, which are specialized for work related to nursing care or medical care. First, the work schedule list output unit 301 automatically outputs an Excel file of a work schedule list in a format for submission to the government directly from the shift schedule (work schedule), with the aim of streamlining the creation of documents to be submitted to the government. At this time, information on workers who participated in one-off part-time work is also output, and by adding information not managed by Kaitech Shift (such as the number of users), a completed document that can be submitted to the government as is is generated. This significantly reduces the time required to create documents to be submitted to the government, which previously took several hours to do manually. Secondly, the additional payment judgment information addition unit 302 automatically adds summary items for determining additional payment (number of working hours of care workers, number of care workers with 7 years or more of service, number of care workers with 10 years or more of service, etc.) to the output Excel list of working patterns, with the aim of increasing nursing care remuneration by determining whether or not additional payment is possible. This allows the person in charge of creating shifts to easily check whether additional payment is possible, thereby maximizing nursing care remuneration. Thirdly, the real-time surcharge display unit 303 displays the summary items for judging surcharges (number of working hours of care workers, number of care workers with 7 years or more of service, number of care workers with 10 years or more of service, etc.) in real time in the summary column of the shift schedule on the web screen, with the aim of increasing nursing care remuneration by determining whether or not surcharges are available. This allows the person in charge of creating shifts to check the possibility of obtaining surcharges in real time while creating shifts, simultaneously realizing efficient shift creation and maximizing nursing care remuneration. Fourth, the additional payment achievement display unit 304 visualizes and displays the achievement status of the system-related additional payments that can be obtained for each service type based on the shift information being input, with the aim of increasing the additional payment achievement rate and leading to an increase in nursing care remuneration by visualizing and proposing the additional payment achievement status. In addition, additional payments that are close to being obtained are displayed visually in an easy-to-understand manner. Fifth, the additional payment proposal unit 305 visualizes and proposes the status of additional payment achievement, and makes specific proposals about additional payments that are close to being obtained, with the aim of increasing the rate of additional payment achievement and leading to an increase in nursing care remuneration. For example, by making specific proposals such as "Addition A can be obtained if two more hours of certified care workers are added," the unit supports the judgment of the person in charge of creating shifts. Sixth, the AI ​​compensation optimization unit 306 aims to balance maximizing nursing care compensation with shift quality by using AI to learn past compensation results, compensation data, and shift patterns, and automatically proposes shift patterns that maximize compensation. This allows for optimization of complex conditions that are difficult for humans to achieve. Seventh, the system update unit 307 automatically collects changes to the nursing care fee or premium system and reflects them in real time in the aggregation items for determining premiums in the information processing system, with the aim of efficiently responding to legal changes. In addition, the conditions for premium eligibility are also automatically updated, preventing oversights in responding to system changes.

[0042] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a work sharing cooperation screen (work type selection) in the information processing system of FIG. 6, a shift management screen (when selecting a work type) 401 displays a calendar-style shift schedule (calendar display) 402, and by selecting a specific time period 404 (e.g., "18:00-20:00") for a worker 403 (e.g., "Kaitec-san 1"), a work type selection menu 405 is displayed. This work-share collaboration function allows users to recruit Kaitech workers with just a few clicks on the shift screen, and intuitively start recruiting through work-share collaboration.

[0043] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a work share collaboration screen (recruitment list display) in the information processing system of FIG. In Figure 7, a work share bulk recruitment button 502 is located in the upper right corner of the shift management screen (when displaying a list of recruitments) 501, and by selecting this button, the user can access the Kaitech work share bulk recruitment function 503. The shift schedule (list display) 504 displays each worker's work schedule in a color-coded manner, clearly identifying the time periods eligible for recruitment. In addition, the drop-down menu on the right side of the screen displays "Kaitech work share bulk recruitment" in a selected state, allowing for efficient management of multiple recruitment requests.

[0044] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a work share collaboration screen (recruitment detailed settings) in the information processing system of FIG. In FIG. 8, a shift management screen (recruitment detail setting) 601 has, as recruitment detail setting items 602, a team selection field 603, a date selection field 604 (displaying 2024-12-18, 2024-12-20), a work type selection field 605, a work hour setting field 606, an hourly wage setting field 607 (displaying 1,300 yen, 1,800 yen, etc.), a transportation cost setting field 608 (displaying 800 yen), etc. In addition, a recruitment job list 609 displays multiple recruitment conditions in a table format (for example, "Team 1 (2024-12-18, Kaitech 1, Facility 1) 16:00-20:00"). (Break: 0 minutes) 1,300 yen, 800 yen" and "Team 1 (2024-12-20, Kaitech 2, facility day, (Test) 9:00-18:00_Daytime bathing assistance included_1,800 yen) 09:00-18:00 (Break: 60 minutes) 1,800 yen, 800 yen" are available for batch processing using the selection checkbox 610.

[0045] As described above, in the second embodiment, in addition to the basic shift management function of the first embodiment, an additional fee management function specific to the nursing care and medical care industries and a more flexible personnel recruitment function are realized. In particular, the recruitment target extraction unit 311 makes it possible to efficiently recruit personnel not only for time periods when there are shortages of shifts, but also when expanding or opening a new facility, and the work sharing cooperation function shown in Figs. 6 to 8 enables intuitive operation.

[0046] In the surcharge management function, the work style list output unit 301 significantly improves the efficiency of creating documents to be submitted to the government, and the surcharge judgment information addition unit 302 automatically calculates summary items for surcharge judgment, such as the number of working hours of care workers and the number of staff by years of service. Furthermore, the real-time surcharge display unit 303 allows you to check the possibility of obtaining surcharges in real time while creating shifts, and the AI ​​surcharge optimization unit 306 proposes optimal shift patterns based on past data, achieving both maximization of nursing care compensation and shift quality. The system update unit 307 also enables automatic response to legal amendments, ensuring reliable response to complex system changes unique to the nursing and medical industries.

[0047] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are considered to be included in the present invention.

[0048] For example, the system configuration shown in FIG. 2 and the hardware configurations of the shift management device 1 and job application device 2 shown in FIG. 3 are merely examples for achieving the object of the present invention, and are not particularly limited.

[0049] Furthermore, the functional block diagrams shown in Figures 4 and 5 are merely examples and are not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient that the information processing system in Figure 2 is provided with functions that can execute the various processes described above as a whole, and the functional blocks and databases used to realize these functions are not particularly limited to the examples in Figures 4 and 5.

[0050] Furthermore, the locations of the functional blocks and databases are not limited to those shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and may be arbitrary. For example, at least some of the functional blocks and databases arranged on the shift management device 1 side may be provided in the job application device 2, the worker terminal 3, or another information processing device (not shown).

[0051] The above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software. Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as a single piece of hardware, a single piece of software, or a combination thereof.

[0052] When a series of processes is executed by software, the programs that make up the software are installed into a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.

[0060] This allows shift managers to easily check detailed information about applicants (career history, skills, evaluations, etc.), helping them make decisions about appropriate staffing, resulting in more effective use of human resources and improved work quality.

[0061] Furthermore, if the predetermined job is a job related to nursing care or medical care, The first information processing device A work schedule list output means (for example, the work schedule list output unit 301 in FIG. 5) for outputting a work schedule list for submission to an administrative agency from the shift schedule; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0062] This will significantly reduce the time it takes to prepare documents to be submitted to the government, which previously took several hours to do manually, and will automatically generate completed documents that can be submitted directly to the government, including information about workers who participated on a one-off part-time basis.

[0063] Moreover, the first information processing device an additional payment determination information addition means (for example, the additional payment determination information addition unit 302 in FIG. 5) for adding a tally item for additional payment determination to the work style list; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0064] This automatically calculates the summary items used to determine whether or not a surcharge is applicable, such as the number of hours worked by care workers and the number of staff by years of service, allowing shift plan creators to easily check whether or not a surcharge is available, thereby maximizing care compensation.

[0065] Furthermore, the first information processing device a real-time addition display means (for example, the real-time addition display unit 303 in FIG. 5) for displaying the tally items for addition judgment in real time on the display screen of the shift schedule; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0066] This allows you to check the possibility of receiving additional pay in real time while creating shifts, allowing you to create shifts efficiently and maximize nursing care compensation at the same time.

[0067] Moreover, the first information processing device an additional payment arrival display means (for example, the additional payment arrival display unit 304 in FIG. 5) for displaying the arrival status based on the shift information for the system-related additional payment that can be acquired for each service type; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0068] This will visualize the status of achieving the additional payment and clearly display the additional payment that is close to being obtained, thereby improving the rate at which additional payment is achieved and increasing nursing care fees.

[0069] Furthermore, the first information processing device an addition proposal means (e.g., the addition proposal unit 305 in FIG. 5 ) for proposing possible additions; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0070] This will support the judgment of those in charge of creating shifts by making specific suggestions such as, "If you add two more hours of certified care workers, you can get bonus A," thereby improving the rate at which bonuses are achieved.

[0071] Moreover, the first information processing device An AI compensation optimization means (e.g., the AI ​​compensation optimization unit 306 in FIG. 5) that learns past compensation results, remuneration data, and shift patterns and proposes a shift pattern that maximizes compensation; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0072] This makes it possible to optimize complex conditions that would be difficult for humans to achieve, achieving both maximization of nursing care compensation and shift quality.

[0073] Furthermore, the first information processing device A system update means (for example, the system update unit 307 in FIG. 5) that automatically collects changes to the nursing care fee or additional fee system and reflects them in real time in the summary items for determining additional fees in the information processing system; Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0074] This makes it possible to automatically respond to legal changes, prevents oversights in response to system changes, and ensures that additional payment decisions are always based on the latest system.

[0075] In addition, the recruitment target extraction means A function of extracting, as a shortage time period, a predetermined time period in which the number of employees scheduled to work is insufficient relative to the minimum number of employees (for example, the function of the shortage extraction unit 111 in FIG. 4 ); A function of extracting a predetermined time period for recruiting personnel in association with facility expansion or new opening as an expanded recruitment time period (for example, an extension function of the recruitment target extraction unit 311 in FIG. 5 ); and the recruitment target time period is the shortage time period or the expanded recruitment time period. It can be done like this.

[0076] This will enable strategic recruitment for business expansion and new openings, rather than the traditional passive recruitment required to address personnel shortages, and will enable advanced human resource strategies such as scouting and evaluating talented personnel through spot work. In addition, flexible personnel planning will be possible according to the facility's growth phase, allowing for both accelerating business expansion and ensuring a stable workforce.

[0077] Furthermore, the first information processing device As a work sharing collaboration function, a work type selection menu (for example, work type selection menu 405 in FIG. 6) can be displayed by selecting a specific time period (for example, time period 404 in FIG. 6) for a specific worker (for example, worker 403 in FIG. 6) on the shift management screen (for example, shift management screen 401 in FIG. 6), multiple recruitment cases can be managed collectively using the work sharing bulk recruitment function (for example, Kaitech work sharing bulk recruitment function 503 in FIG. 7), and detailed conditions such as date, work type, hourly wage, etc. can be set in the recruitment detail settings (for example, recruitment detail setting item 602 in FIG. 8), Further provided with It can be done like this.

[0078] This allows workers to be recruited with just a few clicks on the shift screen, greatly simplifying the complicated recruitment process. In addition, the centralized management of multiple recruitment projects improves management efficiency, and detailed recruitment condition settings enable efficient recruitment of personnel who match the desired skills and conditions, achieving both quality and efficiency in recruitment.
