Better shift coordination
Recruiters can manage multiple work periods under the same job instead of treating each shift like a disconnected scheduling item.

Quick answer
What changed for recruiters?
Job Shifts let recruiters create multiple shifts under a job and assign candidates to specific shift bookings. Timesheets let candidates and recruiters record worked hours, add notes, and submit time for review and client approval.
What changed
What this update changes
ATZ CRM closed the year with a major workforce scheduling update: recruiters can now create multiple shifts under a single job and book candidates into the specific shifts they will work.
Assigned candidates can view their shift information through the Candidate Portal, giving them a clearer view of where they need to be and when.
Timesheets were added alongside shifts so worked hours can be recorded in a structured way. Candidates can enter start and end times, add notes, and submit timesheets for review.
For staffing teams that manage hourly, temporary, contract, or shift-based work, this creates a tighter connection between the job, the candidate booking, the hours worked, and the approval process.
Why it matters
Why it matters to recruiters
Recruiters are often measured on speed, quality, and follow-through. This update is designed to reduce manual work, protect useful context, and help teams keep hiring activity moving with fewer handoffs.
Clearer candidate visibility
Candidates can review their assigned shifts through the portal, reducing confusion and repetitive confirmation messages.
Cleaner timesheet records
Start times, end times, notes, and approvals are tied back to the shift booking, making the record easier to audit.
Stronger client approval workflow
Recruiters can move submitted hours toward client review with clearer context around the job, shift, candidate, and time worked.
Before and after
How the workflow changes
Before
Shift schedules, candidate bookings, worked hours, and approval notes were often tracked across messages, spreadsheets, or separate tools.
After
Recruiters can connect shifts, bookings, timesheets, and approvals inside ATZ CRM.
Before
Candidates needed separate reminders or manual updates to know which shift they were assigned to.
After
Assigned candidates can view shift details from the Candidate Portal.
Before
Timesheet follow-up could become difficult when hours were not tied cleanly to a job shift.
After
Timesheets are connected to shift bookings, giving recruiters better context during review.
