Embodiment Construction

[0036] The example concerns the education industry, and in particular the employing of casual teachers to replace absent employees on a day-to-day basis.

[0037] Referring first to FIG. 1, each school registered with the system 1 is provided with a program for use on their internal sub-system only 2, including a calendar / diary, on which they will store their own confidential information about prospective casuals, part-time employers or contract workers. Subjects, teacher types and schools have specific nominated codes which are used throughout the entire system, by both schools and teachers.

[0038] The school's sub-system will include information including its Department of Education and Training number with a unique state number concatenated to the beginning to uniquely identify the schools.

Abstract

This invention concerns filling vacancies. It may be applied to finding replacements during staff shortages, or to filling entire rosters. It may also be used to fill casually occurring service needs, such as the need-for a child minding placement. The invention involves entering availability details into a candidate data store, and entering vacancy details into a vacancy data store. Automatic cross-matching of each vacancy to availability details create a list of available candidates for each vacancy. Automatically ordering the list for each vacancy ranks the candidates according to predetermined criteria. The vacancies are then filled with the top ranking available candidate. This may be performed automatically or involve the transmission of invitations and acceptances. The invitations may be automatically dispatched, and the responses may automatically update the data. It may be layered to integrate the filling of a vacancy with the provision of a service for a related period of time. For instance, integrating the filling of a teaching or nursing staff vacancy with the provision of child minding services for the same period.

Description

It may also be used to fill casually occurring service needs, such as the need for a child minding placement. It may be layered to integrate the filling of a vacancy with the provision of a service for a related period of time. For instance, integrating the filling of a teaching or nursing staff vacancy with the provision of child minding services for the same day.
