Overview
A fairer and more ethical alternative to traditional recruitment agencies, cutting out paperwork and waste. For teachers, teaching assistants and special education paraprofessionals: manage your teaching profile, manage your calendar for availability, accept or decline work offers, see past work. For schools: search fully-screened and interviewed teachers/TAs/paraprofessionals, save preferred staff and rebook them, manage and confirm timesheets.
Problem
Schools and education professionals relied on slow, paperwork-heavy agency processes to fill short-term and flexible teaching roles.
