The system captures each worker's geographic location so only proximate shifts are considered.
Verified worker qualifications (skills, credentials, certifications) are matched against each shift's required qualifications.
The worker's declared availability windows constrain which shifts they are eligible to receive.
Each opportunity carries a business location, which is compared to the worker's location.
Each opportunity declares the qualifications a worker must have — matched against worker qualifications.
The opportunity's start/end window is compared to the worker's availability.
A filtered, ranked subset of opportunities is generated specifically for each worker.
A dedicated worker-side interface presents the selected opportunities for interaction.
Downstream filters (pay range, distance, shift type) further refine the selected set.
Structured, persistent worker profiles anchor qualifications, history, and ratings.
Businesses rate workers after each shift; ratings feed back into matching.
Structured feedback beyond a numeric rating captures qualitative signals.
All worker, business, opportunity, and rating data is persisted for later use.
Models trained on historical data improve match ranking over time.
The system proactively recommends opportunities to workers and workers to businesses.
External sources (background checks, credentialing) enrich worker profiles.
