Recruit Cards Page – Admin Access
Definitions:
Recruiter – Administrator or Duty Manager User accessing the Admin Portal, utilising the Recruit Cards page in order to perform the tasks necessary to assist recruits in completing the recruitment process.
Recruit – Crew User accessing the Crew Portal to complete the recruitment process.
Applicant – Crew User accessing the Sign-Up page to register themselves as potential recruits.
Contacts (Header) > Recruit Cards
CrewCard’s Recruitment Module allows you to onboard new staff members directly into your CrewCard platform. Recruits can access their Crew Portal Profile to complete the onboarding process once they have been invited by a recruiter (Admin or Duty Manager User), or when Recruitment Settings are configured to allow for automatic invitations – Auto Invite.
Add Recruit
There are two methods to initiate the recruitment process and create a Recruit Card in the Admin Portal: Enrolment and Registration.
Enrolment: A recruit is enrolled into the system by an Admin or Duty Manager User by pressing the Add New on the Recruit Cards page.
Registration: A recruit registers themselves into the system on the Sign-Up Page.
During the onboarding process, a recruit completes a series of stages for recruitment until they are Activated by a recruiter (Admin / Duty Manager User). This moves them into the active Crew List at Contacts > Crew List.
Stages of recruitment are Enrolled / Registered, Shortlisted, Invited, Pending, Completed, Hidden and Active, which can be searched in the search header of the Recruit Cards page.
Enrolment
To enrol crew into your system, click the Add New button.
A pop-out window will open. Please fill out the fields.
After you have clicked Save, you will be redirected to the individual’s recruits page and the recruit will receive an email of enrolment. Once enrolled, the status on the card will be tagged as Enrolled.
Auto – Invite:
Invitations are not required after registration.
There are two options for applicants to progress to the onboarding process from the Sign-Up page. Once applicants have either registered themselves from the Sign-Up page, or have been enrolled by a recruiter, they can be invited by the recruiter via an email. This email will contain a once-only access token to open their Recruit Details page and continue the process of onboarding themselves as recruits. The Auto Invite option allows you to bypass the step of Recruiters manually inviting recruits to set their password, fill in their personal details, qualifications, experience, medical history, agreements, contract, induction and accounts. This exists so that once an applicant has registered on the Sign-Up page, they can progress to the next steps without needing an email invitation.
Recruitment Page Tabs

This invites them to agree to the company policies and agreements and to accept the disclaimers, sign their signature and submit. At this point, the Recruit has accepted your company’s legal requirements for employment, and the Profile Completed email is automatically sent to both the recruit and Administrator. This email includes two PDF attachments and a record of the agreements that have been accepted, plus a copy of the captured signature. The PDF attachments can be uploaded in the Recruitment Settings page, and can be chosen by the Administrator. An example is PDF 1 may contain ‘Welcome Information’ outlining your expectations to new staff members, and PDF 2 may contain ‘Safety Handbook’. The agreements information and captured signature is also permanently stored within the Crew Profile.
Inductions: Recruits can complete a multiple-choice quiz to demonstrate their knowledge of your company’s work health and safety system. This can include questions such as how to submit an incident report. Customise induction questions in Settings > Forms > Recruit Induction.

Recruiters can add extra Activities to the Crew Profile of recruits during the interview process. For example, the default Activity assigned to all recruits might be General Labourer. Using the Assigned Activities function in the Interview tab of the Recruit Card page, a recruiter may add a second Activity of ForkLift Driver, if the recruit has that skill.
The Default Activity will be already assigned, as will any Activities that the applicant selected on the Sign-Up Page.
Assigned Categories – Contacts > Recruit Card > Interview Tab
The Default Category selected in the Recruit Settings will be already assigned in the Recruit Card for each recruit. Because each new Activity assigned will require a category mapped to it in order to trigger a Paid Rate, the Recruiter may need to select additional Categories to match any additional Activities assigned. This is to ensure the Activity Details displays correctly (see Activity Details).
Activity Details
Activity Details displays a table with a combination of Activity, Minimum Rate and Description for each Activity assigned to the recruit.
By displaying the Activity Details on the Agreements page, recruits are accepting the initial pay rates as part of accepting their employment obligations.
The Activity Details can also be inserted into their employment contract. This is displayed on the Contract page of their Crew Portal Profile, or indeed any contract, by inserting the placeholder [ACTIVITY_DETAILS] into the text of the contract when you create or edit a contract (Settings > Contracts > Add Contract). The contract will automatically contain the Activities, pay rates and job description in the employment contract. This works for recruits to agree without the need for any member of staff to manually insert such details.
Activity name and description are pulled from the Activities section of the system. See Administrator Menu > Finance – Activities > Add New Activity or Edit Activity.
Activity name corresponds to the *Name field and description information is pulled from the Job Description field under Activities.
The Min Rate is Paid rate, which can be accessed and set under Administrator Menu > Finance – Activities > Edit Rates or Administrator Menu > Finance – Categories > Edit Rates, under the Paid column. In order for the Paid amount to register, a category needs to be assigned to both the Activity and a Crew Member (recruit) first.
Invite: Invitations are required to be manually sent by pressing the Invite button in the footer after applicants are ‘enrolled’ by recruiters (admin or Duty Manager Users. This is done by pressing the + Add New button in the Recruits Card page and completing the pop up details. Invitations are emailed with a once only access token, and a button that links them to the Set Password page in their Crew Portal Profile .
Once enrolled, recruits appear on the Recruits Cards page, and may be invited individually by selecting one Recruit Card, or in bulk by selecting multiple Recruit Cards and pressing the Invite button. Recruits who have registered themselves via the Sign-Up page may be manually invited by pressing the Invite button, unless the Auto Invite feature is selected. In this scenario, applicants can progress to the Set Password page and may continue with the onboarding process without the need to be invited by Recruiters in the Recruit Cards page.
Details Page: The details page allows recruits to complete their details within their Crew Portal Profile, such as their name and contact details, next of kin / emergency contacts and address. They are also able to upload up to three profile images, pressing the Next button when complete. Recruiters can also assist recruits in real time or complete these details on behalf of recruits by completing the Details tab in their Recruit Card and pressing the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
Agreements: During the onboarding process for new staff, recruits are guided to the Agreements page where they will accept your legal agreements such as contracts, company policies and disclaimers.
The Agreements page can be set up at Settings > Recruitment > Agreements.
Agreements can also be manually emailed by Admin and Duty Manager Users for staff to accept, either during the recruitment process or once activated into the Crew List as active crew with Crew Profiles.
Invite Agreements for Active Crew:
Go to the Contacts menu in the header and select Crew List. Search or find the crew member you would like to invite to accept your company agreements, and click the edit icon on the far right of the screen.

This link invites them to agree to the company policies and agreements, and to accept the disclaimers, sign their signature and submit. At this point, the Recruit has accepted your company’s legal requirements for employment, and the Profile Completed email is automatically sent to both the recruit and Administrator. The email consists of two PDF attachments and a record of the agreements that have been accepted, plus a copy of the captured signature. The PDF attachments can be uploaded in the Recruitment Settings page and can be chosen by the Administrator. An example is PDF 1 may contain ‘Welcome Information’ outlining your expectations to new staff members and PDF 2 may contain ‘Safety Handbook’. The agreements information and captured signature is also permanently stored within the Crew Profile.

On the job sheet, assigning or editing a supervisor may also be possible by selecting the Supervisor.
Scroll to the right until you can view the Supervisor column. Click the Plus Icon to Add a Supervisor.
Fill out the Add Supervisor form.
Once the form has been filled out, click the Add button.
Select the Supervisor name in the drop down list and click the Supervisor icon.
Check the Email and Phone number of the Supervisor you wish to send the SMS and Email Invite. Tick the SMS and Email Invite checkboxes and Click Send App Invite button.
A pop up will appear stating that the “App Invitation has been Sent” to the Supervisor.
Furthermore, when selecting a supervisor from the drop down list, you will be able to see which supervisors have been invited to the app, and which have not been invited, indicated underneath their name in small green or red text. This is especially relevant when working on sites that provide supervisors not associated with your company as a crew member.
Exploring the Job Sheet:
The job sheet has many different functions. This guide will help in breaking down the different functions step by step to ensure you have a better understanding.
Job Description: You may enter the job description you want to describe the job sheet in creation.
Tags: Select from the pre-existing tags that are available, you may also add a new tag. The tag will also be visible in the jobs page.
Select Team Leader: This allows you to select a crew member who is on a team leader level, to be a team leader for the overall job sheet. This will allow them access to view the job sheets.
Status: Select the status of the job sheet from Confirmed, Pending, and Cancelled. The status will be displayed on the Job Sheet column on the Jobs page.
Confirmed:
Pending:
Cancelled:
Confirmed, pending and cancelled are three options which can be selected from a dropdown function in the job sheet.
When confirmed is selected, the Jobs page will show the shift in its full form with no text beside it. A job should be confirmed when all shifts are filled and confirmed.
When Pending is selected, the Jobs page will show the job text box with ‘Pending’ next to it. This indicates that the job is in the process of being confirmed and awaiting confirmation on things such as crew on shifts, admin locks and time changes etc.
When Cancelled is selected, the jobs page will show the job text box with ‘Cancelled’ next to it. In this scenario, the job has been cancelled and will no longer be in operation.
Job Sheet View: Select whether you want a Complex View or a Simple View.
Complex View – The Complex View is the name given to the standard view that you would be familiar with; rates will not be visible when a Complex view is selected. To view the rates, select Job Sheet Rates in the Job Sheet drop down menu.
Simple View – allows you to see just the basic fields needed for day to day operations.
Billing Person: From the list, select who would be billed for the invoice. In the invoice under the Invoice loop section, the name selected from the job sheet page will be selected from the Invoice loop section.
Job Sheet: Select from the list of Job Sheet, Job Sheet Rates, Site, Event, Quote, and Invoice. Once selected, this will open the page with the same job/shifts details.
+ Add New Job Sheet: Click the button to add a new separate job sheet.
If you wish to open a blank job sheet for a client, click Add New Job Sheet. This will open up a blank job sheet for the client.
Qty: Refers to the quantity of shifts. The number in the box will be the amount of times this same shift will be duplicated once you click “Save”.
Example: You have 10 people working on this shift, therefore you type 10 in the box, and the row will be duplicated 10 times.
TIP: Pressing ‘tab’ will advance you to the next field. Pressing ‘shift + tab’ will take you back to the previous one.
Service Request: Click the button to create a service request
Save Job Template: Select to save the job template that was created.
Import Template: Working with TEMPLATES: On any job sheet, it is possible to save a template. This can later be opened to recreate a previously existing job sheet with new dates to save you the effort of entering all the information into a new job sheet each time.
See User Guide 6.2.5 Job Template for creating a Save Job Template.
Import template allows you to import the shifts with a new start date, and while all other details remain the same as the saved Job templates. To import a template, open a job sheet in the jobs page.
In the job Sheet page, click Import Template.
An Import Template pop up will appear. Select the template and the first date.
Once the template and first date has been selected, click the import button.
The shifts from the Save Job Template will be added to the Job Sheet.
For Example: if the saved job sheet had 3 shifts on the 12th of January and if 13th of March has been entered as the “First Day”, then CrewCard creates the new job sheet with full details (Times, venue, activities…) of 3 shifts on the 13th
Tags: Tags are useful when it comes to visually categorising job sheets on the Job page. Click the “Tags” button and a drop-down list appears. Click “Add New Tag”, then Save at the bottom of the job sheet page. Once created, all tags will appear in the drop-down list under “Tags”, where they can be selected or deselected. Selected Tag will appear on the Ops Home page and can help to categorise different job sheets. For example, a tag named “Xmas” can be created and all job sheets related to Christmas can be tagged for an easy view on the jobs page.
Confirmed:
If a shift has been saved with a crew member assigned to it and you press CONFIRM for that particular shift, the SMS page will bring up the ‘confirmed’ message for the selected shift to be sent to the crew member once more.
If numerous shifts have been selected, then all of the SMS’s will be brought up with their respective ‘confirmed’ messages. This message can be modified or completely deleted and a new message can be entered manually.
The message will appear: ‘Confirmed: “Date”, “Time On” (Minus 15 mins) until, “Time Off” approx, at “Venue”, “Meeting Place Address”, “Client”, “Onsite Contact Name”, “Onsite Contact Mobile”, cheers’
For example, the SMS will appear like this: ‘Confirmed: Fri 25-05, 08:15am – 11:30am approx, at Opera House, Stage Door, SHS, Dave Neil, 0412968412, cheers’

In the jobs page, select a Job sheet where you want a Crew Member to be cancelled from a shift without deleting it.
In the job sheet page, tick a checkbox or select a shift that you wish to cancel a Crew Member from. At the bottom left part of the page, click the cancel button.
Select Cancel or Remove and you will be directed to the cancel message template page.
Scroll down at the bottom part of the page. Automatically, the app checkbox is already ticked. To notify the crew by SMS, tick SMS checkbox. To notify via email, tick email checkbox.

Offer Message:
This option is used when sending out ‘shift offer messages’ to staff members. Click and a page called ‘MultiSMS’ opens up, which allows you to offer shift/s to multiple staff members. The default SMS appears in the text box (editable and customisable in global settings) with another box with the list of crews that are assigned to the activity.
In this list, crew members have an asterisk (*) next to their name indicates that they are booked at that time, or a hash symbol (#) next to their name which indicates they entered their unavailability. Any other crew members are available for shifts.
Offer Same: The ‘same crew’ SMS feature works in two ways.
For example, on the shifts page, you had four shifts for four people, starting at 8am to 12pm. You need the same four people to return on four subsequent shifts, being that evening from 8pm to 11pm.
You would have to select all eight shifts (it has to be an even number of both to work, four morning shifts and four evening shifts) and choose “Message Same Crew Shifts” in the “Select an Action” drop down list. Alternatively, you could press the edit (pencil icon) to enter the Shift Edit Page, then leave the Crew Member name blank, and press “Offer Shift Same Crew”. This will bring up the default SMS (customisable and editable) and a crew list of available crew for that activity. Once again, crew that are already booked in all time slots will have an asterisk * next to their name and those that have entered their own unavailability will have a hash # next to their name.
In this same crew SMS mode, if a Crew Member is already booked for one, but not all of the shifts, a *+ will appear next their name. If they have made themselves unavailable for one but not all of the shifts, a #+ will appear next to their name. The message will create one shift number for both (or all shifts), but will offer crew both shifts in the same message. Depending on how you have set the default settings for the same crew SMS message in global settings, the message you’ve sent may look like this:
[715] Can you do 2 shifts, Sun 05-07, 07:45am – 12:00pm & Sun 05-07, 20:00pm – 23:00pm approx., at Cronulla Beach ? Client – X Productions. Reply 715Y for YES, 715N for NO. Await Confirmation.
The crew members are accepting both shifts by replying with 715Y. With this function, it would be possible to select all eight shifts (four in the morning and four in the evening) and send this message to eight or ten or twelve crew members (however many you think necessary to get the job filled).
Once again, the system will wait the predetermined length of time that you have programmed into it; the first four of the highest ranking to reply in the affirmative will be awarded the job and will receive the confirmation messages. Those who missed out will receive the declined message to inform them that they will not be needed and to standby for more shifts.
Once again, on the shifts page, it will be possible to see which shifts have been sent out using the ‘Offer Shifts Same Crew’ feature. In the shifts, under the SMS field, it will show SC “?” and the shift number created by the system for these shifts, which is, in this example, SC (715). There will be “?” next to the SC (715) of the first of these ‘linked’ shifts. When the “?” icon is clicked, a list will open of all the crew you sent the ‘same crew SMS message’ to, including the time the message was sent. As you refresh the page, you will see Y and N appear after the names of the Crew Members that have responded yes or no to the shifts and the times they responded.
For example, for an entire week or fortnight’s work, you need to select all the shifts that you wish to offer to the one crew member, and press the edit (pencil icon) to open the shift edit page. Press the “Offer Shift Same Crew” button, select the crew member you wish to offer the shifts to from the crew list and press “Send SMS”. The content of the SMS will say how many shifts are being offered along with dates, times and locations.
Offer Multi: The ‘Multi Roster Message’ option works the same way as the Message Same Crew Shifts.
Message Multi Roster Shifts allows you to offer several shifts in one SMS/Email to a staff member/s. If they accept the shifts offered, they receive a confirmation SMS with the details of all their shifts in one SMS/Email.
On the shifts Page, at the bottom of the screen under “Select an Action”, and in the shift edit page and the job sheets pages, there is the option “Message Multi Roster Shifts”. This feature allows you to offer multiple shifts to a crew member or several crew members in a single message (SMS/Email) per crew member. The crew member/s only need to reply with a single SMS accept to be confirmed for all shifts.
For example: You could create an entire roster for the following week, select all the shifts you want in the shifts page, scroll down the bottom of the page, under “Select an Action”, select the “Message Multi Roster Shifts”. All shifts will be presented in SMS/format to the staff to accept the shifts in one go. When the crew members accept the shifts, they will automatically be sent confirm multi messages (after the predetermined length of time that is customisable in global settings under “SMS Incoming Configuration”, after “Incoming SMS Accept Shifts Interval”).
Confirm Shift: By selecting shift/s and clicking this option, you simply make a crew member/s confirmed for a shift without sending them a Confirmation Message. Their name will appear black on the shifts Page with a C next to it (under the SMS field) which indicates they have confirmed.
Confirm Message: This will send a confirmation message to the crew who is booked for the shift
Confirm Multi: Confirm multiple shift with the same crew
Lock: Shifts must be locked with the correct times in order to be processed by payroll. Once the start/finish/break times are correct, shifts can be locked using this option from the drop down menu. Once locked, a padlock icon will appear next to the locked shift.
Admin Lock: Shifts must be locked with the correct times in order to be processed by payroll. Once the start/finish/break times are ensured correct, shifts can be locked using this option from the drop-down menu. Once locked, a padlock icon with the word ‘ADMIN’ under it will appear next to each shift/s. Admin locked shifts can only be unlocked by ‘ADMIN’ users.
Payroll Lock: The job is locked for payroll the time sheet will be sent to be paid
Unlock: This option reverses the locked or admin locked actions.

Reasons for Job Sheet Highlight:
Remove Shift(s) Highlighting: This removes the highlight from the shift.
Add Reason When Removing Crew from a Confirmed Shift
There are several reasons why a crew may need to be removed from a shift.
Some common reasons include customer complaints, blow up, or if the crew members are not performing their duties adequately.
In these situations, it may be necessary to remove the crew from the shift in order to maintain safety and productivity.
Additionally, if a crew member is not able to fulfill their duties due to personal reasons, it may be necessary to remove them from the shift and find a replacement.
CrewCard makes it easy for Admin to enter a reason when removing a crew from a confirmed shift.
NOTE: This feature needs to be activated before it can be used. You can contact CrewCard / Personnel Manager to activate this feature for you.
Click the x icon beside the name of the crew that is confirmed to the shift.
Once you clicked the x icon, the Remove Reason window will appear.
Enter the details of the reason why you are removing the crew in the Reason to remove crew field as this is a mandatory field.
Then under the reason field are the Types of Reasons:
You need to click one Reason Type and click OK.

9.1.3 Performance of Crew Calculation
The overall performance rating of a crew member is a measurement by the performance of the crew in terms of experience, crew rating/feedbacks, and reliability. Each crew member is awarded a score out of 100 that is derived from a combination of their star rating (out of 5), experience level (out of 5), reliability level (out of 5) and recent activity level (out of 5) with the formula weighted most heavily on their recent activity level rating.
Score formula:
((Experience) + Rating + Experience # Days + Reliability*#) *#)
Star Rating:
Star ratings default to a rating of 2DF for crew members not yet rated (DF = Default). Once they are rated in the calendar or app, they will earn an average star rating.
Shift Acceptance Rate:
The shift acceptance rate displays the average acceptance from crew. It shows acceptance rate within 30 days, 90 days, and 14 days.
Experience:
In the dropdown menu for experience, select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If you select default for the experience, the rating will be calculated automatically.
Experience Levels are 1 – 5 from least experienced to most experienced. This is defaulted to the total hours crew have worked in the system and are calculated as follows:
Level 0 – 0 Hrs
Level 1 < 100 Hrs
Level 2 100 – 200 Hrs
Level 3 200 – 500 Hrs
Level 4 500 – 1000 Hrs
Level 5 > 1000 Hrs
Once the default setting has been replaced, the experience level will no longer display DF for default.
Example: if a crew member with a lot of industry experience came to work for Show Support, then a level of 1 would not be appropriate and would adversely affect their score. In these cases, we can assign a higher level, such as 4 or 5. The DF will no longer appear after the number to display that the experience level has been manually updated.
Reliability:
Reliability rating from the dropdown menu. Reliability levels are 1 (least) – 5 (most) reliable. Reliability levels default to 5 for all crew. Reliability levels MUST be updated manually (under experience/reliability in their crew profiles) as follows:
Level 5 – No blow outs, no lateness, perfectly reliable.
Level 4 – 1 Blow Out and/or 2 Times Late in the last 12 months
Level 3 – 2 Blow Outs and/or 4 Times Late in the last 12 months
Level 2 – 3 Blow Outs and/or 6 Times Late in the last 12 months
Level 1 – 4 Blow Outs and/or 8 Times Late in the last 12 months
Bias:
Aside from experience and reliability, you can also enter bias in the crew profile page. Only admin has access to this feature. If you are using a different login credential, this option will not appear. Enter the value of bias in the provided field.
Recent Activity:
Recent Activity Levels are 0 (least) – 5 (most) active. Recent activity is based on the number of hours a Crew member has worked in the last 60 days.
Level 0 – 0 Hrs
Level 1 – 0 – 75 Hrs
Level 2 – 75 – 150 Hrs
Level 3 – 150 – 250 Hrs
Level 4 – 250 – 340 Hrs
Level 5 – 340 Hrs
Ranking Using Crew Score:
You can order ranks by hours, score or inactive.
Address Type: Crew can select between the options of Residential Address or PO Box
9.1.5 Activities Tags
Activities tag is an additional field in the Crew Profile page. Administrators, Duty Managers, Managers can access this page, but not within Client/Crew access. Crew tags are identification marks so that you can easily recognise a crew.

After you save the warning message, it will appear in the warning template lists, as shown in the screenshot below.
It will also allow you to edit or delete the warning you have created on the Warning Page. Click the Edit icon to modify the warning template. Alternatively, you may click the delete icon to delete the warning template.
Once the Warning templates have been created, navigate to the Crew List Page. Click the edit icon to select the crew of which you want to send the warning message to.
Select warning from the crew profile page to go to the warning section.
Select the Warning message from the dropdown list to see the warning template you created in the warning settings.

9.1.6 Encryption of Banking and Super Details
CrewCard has instilled encryption at rest for the banking and super details of crew members in order to add an extra layer of security. Encryption at rest is designed to protect data that is stored on a disk or backup media. Only Duty Managers are able to see the details provided.

ABN can be set to be a mandatory or optional field in the client profile. Please email support@personnelmanager.com.au. Once activated, the check ABN button will be activated and can be used to check the ABN details of a company. Enter the ABN on the provided field and click ABN Check. If the ABN is invalid, a warning message will appear.
The name of the company will appear. You can select accept or cancel
9.2.2 App Update
If the client’s login details have been changed or the client is unable to log into the app, the details will need to be updated. On the client profile overview, press update app, and this will refresh their login details.
When adding clients and/or supervisors to the system, if you attempt to register a client or supervisor that shares the same number as one that already exists, an alert will pop up on the screen. You will not be able to register the client and/or supervisor.
Crew members are sent an email invitation to accept contracts. They simply open the contract from a link in the email, review and sign it with their finger and then press submit. The final copy is emailed to the staff member and to Admin as a PDF attachment and is permanently stored in the CrewCard system.
