What are Booking Requests?
We’ve updated the way you make bookings on the Hireup platform to make it easier to fill shifts quickly when you need support. The new booking feature saves you time and reduces back-and-forth messaging with workers.
Why are Booking Requests useful?
Before Booking Requests, Providers would have to complete a booking process that could be time consuming: posting a job, shortlisting workers, then creating a booking with the selected worker.
Now, Providers have the ability to fill shifts quickly by posting once, but reaching up to 10 workers at a time. Booking Requests mean fewer follow ups, no manual chasing, and improved coverage for urgent or hard-to-fill shifts. Providers can now scale their bookings without an extra admin burden.
Things to note
- If a Booking Request has been sent to more than 1 worker (optional), only one worker can accept each Booking Request
- If you would like to send a Booking Request to more than 1 worker, you can select a maximum of 10 workers per Booking Request
- Some workers may need to update their app to access and respond to Booking Requests
- If a worker cancels a confirmed booking that was originally sent to multiple workers as a booking request, Hireup will automatically send a new Booking Request to the workers on the original list (who had not declined and were still available).
