Restricted views streamline the process in Clocktower

As most staffing company professionals have learned over the last 2 years, speed to fill or speed to placement is becoming more and more critical.  While quality of fill remains a top requirement, the speed to submitting those candidates is quickly moving to the top of the priorities list.

With time being of the essence, your client needs help now and doesn’t have time for you to train your new employee on your time tracking system before they begin.  This means that the time submittal process needs to be clean, accurate, and easy.

Clocktower time sheets makes the process easy by restricting the abilities of users based on their permissions.  If a user logs in and only has permission to track their own time, they are presented with a much different view and set of abilities than that of an account owner.  As another common example, if a staffing client is logging in simply to approve time, they will only see those features most needed for that process.

Take a look at the example below and you will notice the view of an Account Owner, a Employee and a Client.  Note that the Client only has access to the Dashboard and the Approve Time sections, while the Employee can see the Dashboard and the Time Sheets sections.  This change in view ensures that each of your users is not bombarded with unnecessary information.

  • Account Owner:  Dashboard, Time Sheets, People & Projects, Approve Time, Account, Settings
  • Employee:  Dashboard, Time Sheets
  • Client:  Dashboard, Approve Time

Why simple matters for staffing company timesheets

Staffing companies have a unique situation when it comes to hiring.  They hire lots and lots of people, and 99% of the productive output of these hires is for a third party.  That’s because the workers they are hiring are contractors and temps.  In a recruiting environment where speed matters, which will become more and more critical according to Danny Cahill in his Gruntled video (great video by the way), staffing agencies and recruiters need to maintain high quality with ease and precision while meeting the speed expected from their clients.

In a corporate or internal recruiting environment, a new internal hire may receive a day or even an entire week dedicated to on boarding.  This period typically involves teaching the new hire how to submit their time, when to submit it, and how very very VERY critical it is that they get their timesheet in ON TIME!

Staffing agencies know that for each new hire there is already a plethora of onboarding steps, but they don’t have the luxury of spending a day, or in some cases even an hour orienting the new person.  As the regulatory environment becomes more broad and far reaching, certain compliance steps will take more time and require more attention.  This means there will be greater time spent  on boarding.  At the same time, technology is changing by the minute and helping recruiting agencies stay nimble.

As we look for ways to reduce the time to start, or time to hire, using technology to save time is a great move.  Trying to explain a complicated time entry and approval process to a new employee that won’t even be working in your dungeon…eh hem, office…just won’t cut it.

That is why simple matters when it comes to staffing company timesheets and time tracking systems.  Contact us at sales@clocktowerhr.com to learn how we can help your company keep it quick and simple!
