HCRG Staffing Connect: Auto-book vs. Manual Booking

If you’ve ever missed out on the perfect shift because someone else booked it first, you’re not alone. Many healthcare professionals spend valuable time checking the app, refreshing, and trying to secure the right shifts, but there’s an easier way.

That’s where our Auto-book feature comes in.

With Auto-book, you can set your availability, choose your preferred trusts, hospitals, and wards, and let the app work for you, automatically securing shifts that match your preferences as soon as they become available.

Think of it as your personal shift assistant, quietly working in the background 24/7 to make sure you never miss an opportunity.

When you use Auto-book:
✓ Set your availability once a week, no more daily applications.
✓ Get greater access to your preferred shifts without the stress of constantly checking.
✓ Enjoy increased job security and a more predictable schedule.
✓ Greater chance of securing shifts meaning consistent income.
✓ Secure the shifts you want as soon as they become available.

When you don’t use Auto-book:
✗ Miss out on shifts that get booked quickly.
✗ Have less control when manually selecting shifts.
✗ Experience reduced flexibility, as popular shifts fill up fast.
✗ Fewer booked shifts, leading to less consistent income.
✗ Miss out on working in your preferred wards or hospitals.

The difference is simple: Auto-book gives you the freedom to plan your week with confidence, knowing your shifts are being handled automatically in the background.

So, if you haven’t already, open the HCRG Staffing Connect App, navigate to ‘My Schedule’, start adding your preferred availability, and select the ‘Auto-book’ option. Then sit back, relax, and let your next shift come to you.
