The practical answer

Begin the next-assignment conversation before the current one ends, with the worker’s interest and preferences at the center. Reconfirm availability and relevant role fit. A successful past assignment can inform recruiter review, but it does not automatically establish fit for a different site or task.

How to put it into practice

  1. Record anticipated assignment end dates and ask about interest in future work.
  2. Refresh shift, location and role preferences before matching opportunities.
  3. Coordinate the current and next assignment so candidates receive clear information.

A practical example

A packing assignment ending Friday may create interest in another production role the following week. Check the new schedule and requirements instead of assuming the worker wants the same arrangement.

What to measure

Measure eligible workers contacted, interested workers and confirmed next starts with consistent definitions.

A mistake to avoid

Avoid offering a new assignment before its details and approval process are confirmed.
