Features: AI Shift Matching
The Right Worker, Every Shift. Automatically.
Roosted's patented AI evaluates skills, availability, location, and custom rules to assign the best-qualified worker to every shift. Stop matching manually.
When you're staffing 50 shifts across three events this weekend, manually checking who's available, qualified, and nearby for each one is a time sink that leads to mistakes. Put the wrong worker on the wrong shift and you're dealing with skill gaps, unhappy clients, and last-minute scrambles that could have been avoided.
You're Always in Control
Roosted's AI matching engine ranks every available worker against the shift requirements and surfaces the best fit. Admins confirm with a click, or let the system auto-assign entirely.
Manual Matching Doesn't Scale
There's a Point Where Manual Stops Working. This Is It.
Hours of Scheduling That Should Take Minutes.
Small Errors in Scheduling Have Big Consequences.
Skillset ratings
Roosted tracks performance at the individual skill level, not just a binary yes/no tag. A worker might carry a solid overall score but perform below average in a specific role and Roosted surfaces that. When assigning shifts, you see both ratings side by side, so the right specialist gets the right job, not just whoever's available.
Availability and schedule conflicts
The engine checks existing shift assignments, time-off requests, and schedule conflicts in real time, so you never have to worry about double-bookings or manually cross-referencing calendars.
Geographic proximity
For on-demand staffing where workers travel to job sites, location matters. Roosted factors in how close each worker is to the shift location so you're not sending someone across town when a qualified worker is 10 minutes away.
Preferred workers
Admins can flag specific workers for priority assignment. If a client always requests the same crew, or a particular worker consistently performs well at a venue, you can set them as preferred and the matching engine will prioritize them when they're available.
Seniority and custom sort rules
For union environments and organizations with dispatch rules, Roosted supports seniority-based matching and custom sort logic whether that's hiring hall seniority for IATSE locals, tenure-based priority, or a custom ordering system you define.
Credentials and certifications
The system checks that workers hold the required credentials before they're eligible for a shift. An RN-only shift won't surface CNAs. A security post requiring a specific clearance level won't show unqualified guards.
Patented Technology, Purpose-Built for On-Demand
This Isn't Generic Scheduling Software.
Other Platforms Scratch the Surface. Roosted Goes Deeper.
Events and catering
Matching bartenders, servers, setup crew, and coordinators based on individual skill ratings. A worker rated highly for bartending but average for setup gets placed where they'll perform best. Preferred worker lists ensure your client's favorite crew gets priority when they're available.
IATSE and stage labor
Seniority-based dispatch that respects hiring hall rules. Workers are ranked by seniority according to your local's specific ordering, and the system surfaces them in the correct sequence. Custom sort rules handle the complexity that generic scheduling tools can't touch.
Healthcare staffing
Credential verification happens before assignment, not after. The matching engine confirms certification type (RN, LPN, CNA), license status, and compliance requirements before a worker is even eligible for a shift, so there's no risk of placing someone unqualified.
Security
Guards are matched to posts based on certifications, clearance levels, and site-specific requirements. A post that requires an armed guard won't surface unarmed candidates, and a client site with specific training requirements filters automatically.
Scheduling calendar
Schedule your staff and run payroll at lightening speed. Our customers are, on average, 84% faster with Roosted.
Payroll integration
Approved hours from matched and completed shifts flow directly to payroll with no manual data entry between scheduling and pay.
