Shifts and schedules

Use these SUIDs to specify shift patterns, schedules, and work hours.multiple countries.

 

Overview

Shift and schedule SUIDs help job seekers find positions matching their availability. These SUIDs describe weekly schedules, shift lengths, shift times, supplemental schedules (overtime, on-call), and trucking-specific home time arrangements.

Use these SUIDs to specify:

Weekly schedules: Day distribution (Monday-Friday, weekends, rotating)
Shift lengths: Shift duration (4-hour, 8-hour, 12-hour)
Shift times: Time of day (morning, day, evening, night)
Supplemental schedules: Additional scheduling (on-call, overtime, holidays)
Trucking home time: How often drivers return home

These attributes are available in many countries. Always check the "Applies in" column to ensure the attribute is supported in your target market.

Example usage

Specify shift and schedule SUIDs in the attributes field of the SourcedJobPostingTaxonomyInput object:

mutation CreateJobPosting {
  jobsIngest {
    createSourcedJobPostings(input: {
      jobPostings: [{

How to find the right SUID

Identify your shift category: Choose weekly schedule, shift length, shift time, supplemental schedule, or trucking home time.
Check country availability: Verify the attribute is available in your target country (see Applies in column)
Consider combinations: Jobs can use multiple shift attributes ("8 hour shift" + "Day shift" + "Monday to Friday")
Use the SUID: Copy the 5-character SUID code and add it to the attributes array

Best practices

Combine complementary attributes: Many jobs benefit from multiple shift attributes (such as, 5GUGE (8 hour shift) + PMS5Q (Day shift) + SAP7A (Monday to Friday))
Match job seeker expectations: Use shift attributes that match the actual work schedule to attract qualified candidates.
Verify country availability: Check the Applies in column to verify availability in your target market.
Use specific attributes: Choose the most specific attribute that describes the schedule (that is, use SAP7A (Monday to Friday) instead of just F4UMB (Weekdays)).
Consider flexibility attributes: For flexible schedules, use attributes like HY5VT (Flextime) or 6ZG3Z (Choose your own hours).
Highlight work-life balance: Use attributes like FM8WH (No weekends), H7VK5 (No nights), or GN2KW (No overtime) to emphasize work-life balance.
Be clear about requirements: If weekend or evening work is required, use attributes like 7SRRR (Weekend availability) or EMGHB (Evenings as needed).
