Fullbench vs. Q360: a sourced comparison for school districts

Q360 Workforce Solutions, part of Quantum Education Professionals, describes itself as a free "Open MSP" for education, funded by a vendor participation fee its site puts at typically 5%. Fullbench is funded the same way. So compare what your schools get: who competes for each opening, what stops an unapproved start, and what you can see working before you sign.

Candidates from every agency in one list, longest waiting first, each with how many of the required documents are approved
The program record: a requisition released to every approved agency at one recorded instant, with the HR director's name on it
What a comparison comes down to: every agency's candidates on one screen, and the recorded instant the opening reached all of them.Every agency’s candidates, on one screen.

Side by side

What's published, and what isn't

QuestionFullbenchQ360 (per its public materials)
Cost to the district No software fee, seat license, or implementation charge. You set a maximum bill rate on every posting, and any submission above it arrives flagged for your office. No published district cost. Both programs are funded by the participating agencies.
Who competes to fill your openings Every approved agency, every opening, released at the same recorded time. When one agency has nobody, the rest are already working it. Agencies cannot advance their own candidates; your office holds every decision. Describes an "open" network where districts keep final selection. No published release-timing, submission-window, or requisition-distribution rules were located as of August 2026.
Do all agencies compete on equal terms? Every agency approved at your district receives the opening at the same recorded time, and that is the moment the program record measures response time from. The same starting point for everyone, including any agency close to the operator. Q360's site markets "priority access" to professionals from Quantum, its affiliated staffing company. No release-timing, submission-window, or distribution rules were located as of August 2026.
What stops an unapproved start The program: no start date while any submitted document awaits review, and never without a district-approved file. No one is in front of students on a promise. Describes credentialing and compliance support as part of its service. Published enforcement mechanics were not located.
Seeing it before you sign The platform is open at demo.fullbench.co: pick a role and look around, no password, no form. A 15-minute walkthrough then runs three screens against your own questions: the release record, the credential gate refusing a start date, and the itemized invoice. Promises real-time reporting and centralized workflows. No public product portal, login, or product documentation was located as of August 2026.
How it's funded $0 to the district, funded on the agency's side of the invoice, never out of district funds. The agency rate, when it is taken, and how it is itemized are stated in each agency's agreement. "Typically 5%" per its website; fee mechanics beyond the percentage are not published.

Based on publicly available information as of August 2026, principally Q360's own pages at quantumedpro.com.

The takeaway

Free and free are not the same program

Both are programs run for you at no cost to the district, so choose on what your schools get. Fullbench shows you all three working, on screen, in 15 minutes.

  • Who competes for every opening. The mechanism your coverage depends on.
  • What stops an unapproved start. The program, or a policy manual.
  • Whether every agency competes on equal terms. Including any agency the operator owns.
