Search and Sort Criteria Scenario

An example of how a search and sort criteria would retrieve and order the best fit employee(s) is shown in the following scenario.

Search criteria:

  • Job: Matching Job
  • Skill: Matching Skill
  • Shift: Matching Shift

Sort Criteria

  • Sort Criteria 1: Rank
  • Sort Criteria 2: Hire Date
  • Sort Criteria 3: Employee Last Name

The system first searches for employees who are qualified to do the job. From this pool of employees with the right job qualifications, the system then searches for employees who have the specified skill required to fill the staffing requirement. From the pool of qualified job and skilled employees, the system searches for employees whose shift time matches the specified time.

The list of employees retrieved from the search criteria is sorted based on the defined sort criteria. If there are multiple employees retrieved from the search criteria provided, the employees with the highest rank for the job are displayed first. If there are multiple employees with the same rank, the employees that have the earliest hire date are listed first. If multiple employees have the same rank and hire date, employees are ordered based on their last name. If there are multiple employees with the same rank, hire date, and last name, the employees are listed in the order in which they are retrieved.
