Job Spy

Job Spy is a PeopleSoft Resource Management tool that resources can use to proactively seek new assignments. This feature uses Resource Matching to provide a ranked list of open resource requests that match the resource's profile and schedule, and the weighting specified for the Availability, Qualifications, and Preferences factor families. You can search through all resource requests or only the requests with a service order owning organization that includes your organization. Once the search results appear, you can drill down and access the Job Detail page to view details of any resource requests in the work space. You can also access the Job Scorecard page to view a detailed evaluation of your qualifications, availability, and preferences compared to resource requests.

By using the Job Spy feature, you can bid on an assignment for the resource request. Bids influence the staffing process in two ways:

• Staffing coordinators, resource managers, and practice managers can view a list of resources who submit bids for a particular resource request, and they can consider the bids when making their staffing decisions.

• Bids influence the Preferences family factor fit score that is returned by Resource Matching when a staffing coordinator or manager searches for resources to fulfill resource requests.

  A resource who submits a bid for a particular resource request may have a higher overall fit score than a resource who is equally qualified and available but does not submit a bid.
