SEATTLE, WA, March 11 / MARKET WIRE/

As companies face economic pressures, the need to automate staff scheduling and onboarding costs becomes critical to growth. Welborn Relief Agency expanded their relationship with Shiftboard to directly meet this efficiency need for pharmacy scheduling.

"When we started using the Shiftboard product a year ago with 40 pharmacist contractors, we were a typical staffing company striving for low overhead. Scheduling consumed a lot of management time, but Shiftboard's online scheduling system allows us to focus on client relationships and recruiting. As a result, we are steadily expanding our business in this economy," said Joshua Welborn, owner.

Given the intertwined relationship of scheduling, recruiting, and client development within staffing agencies and others with flexible workforces, the Shiftboard service has found a welcome role in dozens of fast growing, diverse organizations. Typically, each user can sign-in from anywhere on any computer or mobile device at anytime. Workers view, select, confirm positions in real-time, streamlining staffing operations, removing countless phone calls, emails and faxes.

Since the healthcare staffing agency's business has grown to over 70 contractors entering shift requests directly into the system, Welborn has upgraded to Shiftboard's Professional Edition to support expanded online staff scheduling and recruiting efforts in two key areas:

   1. Multi-geography scheduling: Welborn expanded operations into
      California and Oregon. As a result, schedules, operations and all
      reporting can be filtered by geography and across all locations,
      clients, and multiple time zones.

   2. Multiple, Diverse worker profiles: Welborn's business had been
      staffing pharmacists. However, the business has grown to include
      pharmacy technicians and interns. Welborn captures and manages key
      credentialing and compliance information across profile types.

"Shiftboard supports our core business processes from web registration of new contractors to scheduling to analytics reports for invoicing clients and paying staff. For a staffing agency like us, it would be hard to think of a more self-contained system to support our operations," added Welborn.
