When I was a student, I thought this was kind of a messed up way of scheduling. However, now that I am no longer a student, I agree with it. They supply their academic schedule/actual scheduling issues i.e. child care. You supply their work schedule based on that. If they show up to work, you train them and get a good employee. If not, you have a fairly ample pool of applicants to draw from. If the pre-existing employees have historically been good employees, give them precedence and priority on scheduling. If not, sucks to be them. Plug them in on their schedules. What I came to realize as a student and working with students is that their (and mine) perceived scheduling issues seldom are actually issues, it's just times that they'd rather not work. When it comes to being employed or not, priorities can change along with academic priorities being fulfilled as well. As far as software and spreadsheets go, sorry, can't help you there.
