One of the most important factors in getting a high fill rate for your open shifts is to post them as early as possible. The earlier you post your shifts, the more time workers have to see them and apply. This means you'll have a larger pool of qualified workers to choose from, which increases your chances of finding someone to fill the shift.

When you post a job on Gravywork, be as specific as possible about the job requirements, including the skills and experience needed, the location, the hours, etc. This will help ensure that you attract the right workers who are qualified and available to work the shift. It will also help you avoid wasting time reviewing applications from workers who aren't a good fit for the job.

Gravywork has a rating system that allows managers to rate the workers they hire, based on their performance. You can add workers as a favorite to your account, making it quick and easy to hire them again for future shifts. Be sure to rate and favorite GravyWorkers that you like working with to be able to hire them faster! 

Communication is key when it comes to filling open shifts. Be sure to respond to worker applications promptly, and keep workers updated throughout the hiring process. Once a worker is hired, communicate the job requirements clearly, including the dress code, arrival time, and job duties. This will help ensure that the worker shows up on time and is prepared to work the shift.

Finding qualified workers to cover open shifts in the hospitality industry can be a daunting task, but with Gravywork, it doesn't have to be. By following these best practices, you can increase your chances of finding qualified workers quickly and get the highest fill rates for your jobs.
