You\u2019ll have access to our entire marketplace of skilled technicians and we\u2019ll help you narrow it down by offering our top 3 recommendations right away. These recommendations are based on proximity, their platform rating, and their experience level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technicians in our marketplace enter a variety of data about themselves into their profile like the equipment they own, certifications they have, and skills they\u2019ve gained. All of these empower you to make the best choice for each work order so you can be confident they can do the job right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Badges<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to find the right technician is the use of badges to identify important skills and information. This includes background checks and drug tests as well as advanced certifications. You can hover over these badges in the platform to get even more detailed information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Rating<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The marketplace rating is a combined score that a given technician earned based on their work history. Ratings above 4.8 are considered ideal as this demonstrates a technician who consistently provides quality work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Our Ranking Rule<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The default ranking rule in the Field Nation platform assigns point values for behavioral and historical data to bring the highest ranking providers to the top of your list. The greater the point value, the better they fit our ranking criteria. You can also create your own ranking rules with our platform tools under the red \u201cNEW!\u201d next to the selection rule dropdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sorting Information in Our Marketplace<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our algorithm is a robust tool, but it makes it easier for you to find the right technician to fulfill your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/matching-algorithm-screen.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11110\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/matching-algorithm-screen-300x122.png\" alt=\"Our Matching Algorithm Recommendations\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the provider tabs, technicians are separated based on their relationship to you. For example, the nearby tab ranks technicians based on their distance from the work order. Our \u201cworked with\u201d tab indicates if a technician has done work for you before. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to get more specific with your technician sorting, you can even create what we call \u201cTalent Pools\u201d that allow you to make a list of your preferred technicians. This helps you identify who you want to work within the future, and you can send work orders <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to that pool of technicians if you choose. Just keep in mind, the first technician from that pool that wants the work will automatically receive it, so only choose technicians you know and trust to be in your Talent Pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Make the Most of Your Matches<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these tools give you more control and visibility into who is representing your company on-site.
