Where Flann saves you time in 7shifts
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once 7shifts is connected.
Chasing applicants who went quiet
Today
Candidates sit in 7shifts at the same stage for weeks because nobody has time to write the follow-up. Good people take other offers in the meantime.
With Flann
“Which applicants haven’t heard from us this week? Draft a nudge for each.”
In 7shifts, Flann finds every applicant with no contact since last week and groups them by role. It drafts a short, polite message for each in the tone you usually use.
What you stop doing: No more mental list of candidates you meant to call back.
Sick days logged as they happen
Today
A staff member calls in sick early in the morning. Recording it in 7shifts slides down the list, and the absence record drifts out of date.
With Flann
“Marco’s off sick today. Log it and tell me who can cover.”
Two things happen at once. Flann prepares the absence entry in 7shifts and checks who is free to cover the shift, then sends you the entry and a short list of options together.
What you stop doing: Juggling the sick call, the record and the cover search at once is behind you.
