I'm interested to know what job fields could be utilized to identify a new job is a "backfill"/ "replacement" due to turnover. Ideally the field would be included in reports.
I initially thought the "job status" would work, (ex: open-backfill) however this status will change once filled (ex: closed-filled). We would want to be able to easily determine even after its been filled.
Another idea was the "job type", (ex: Temporary-backfill etc.). I'm hesitant to add more types for the sake of simple, easy to read reporting.
We do utilize "custom job details" for many details, however the custom job details are not easy to read in BOLD reports as they are ALL shown in a single field.
Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated :)

Hey there Hannah! I can understand not wanting to clutter up your Job Types, but that's exactly the suggestion I have for being able to track and report on what you're looking for.
If other folks have suggestions, we'd love to hear them, too!
Hi Hannah,
This has been an issue for us too especially as we do high volume staffing on a daily basis. We currently use Master Orders to set our jobs up so we can easily clone them each day. I am currently testing the idea of using a Master Order for the regular job title -in this case Flagger and then a job title Flagger (Replacement) so that I can accurately calculate my fill rates without having to add numbers to the orders each time we have to replace someone. I think it will work (in theory it seems like a sound idea). I am not sure if that would work for you but it might.
I really miss that function of Classic that knew if you ended an assignment that the job needed to be refilled and that calculated that information and marked the new person as a refill. Hopefully, by having the job titles marked, I can pull the assignment report and have Excel calculate my fill rates from there.
Just my idea...we will see if it works.

The approach I was told to do is to increase the number of positions on the same requisition to add a hire, but this skews reporting, as it appears to reflect multiple open positions when there’s actually only one and there is no way to indicate that it's a replacement other than a note or custom job field, which is not easy to report on, as stated above.
I've typically seen a separate field for "Reason for Position" with a dropdown selection for options like New, Replacement/Backfill, Temporary, etc. It reflects the reason for the open position rather than its type. This should be a separate, trackable, and reportable field. Without this distinction, reporting data becomes inaccurate.
Renae, do you have a "reason for position" option/field when creating a job in BOLD?
No we do not, but wish we did. I tried using the custom job details, but it's cumbersome and doesn't really work. I have had this field in all other systems I've used in the past.
