ShiftWise user Melinda Butts takes us inside her job and tells us what it’s like using the vendor management software.
SW: How has ShiftWise made your job easier?
Melinda: Where do I begin? It’s a great one source tool and a real time saver! The entire job filling process is so fast and user friendly.
SW: How long did it take for you to feel like a confident user?
Melinda: No longer than a few weeks. I really can’t emphasize enough how user-friendly it is. My recommendation for any new user out there is to go ahead and just dive in! I had help from coworkers in the beginning and I didn’t really understand what they were doing. Getting in there and grabbing the keyboard by the horns is really the best advice I can give. Once you do something on your own you will always remember that for future orders. Especially with the verification process which we use a lot.
SW: What do you like about the verification process when placing orders?
Melinda: I like that it’s a requirement that you have to be verified in order to fill a position. It’s very user friendly and great tool for getting the correct candidates.
SW: You mentioned the process being user-friendly. How exactly?
Melinda: I was a little hesitant when I was first introduced to the system, it all looked a little overwhelming. But once I got in there and actually ran through the process I was amazed by how easy it was. There is always a new tool I am learning about so things just keep getting easier and easier!
SW: If you went to another organization would you recommend that they use ShiftWise?
Melinda: I would highly recommend it, I don’t think I could fill our positions without it. Well, I mean I’m sure we could, it would just take a lot longer and be harder to pick the most qualified candidates.
SW: And because we only ask the hard hitting questions, if you had to pick just one, what is your favorite kind of ice cream?
Melinda: Now that’s a tough question! If I had to pick just one I would have to say………Rocky road.
