Comparison
Fullbench vs. StafferLink: software you run vs. a program run for you
StafferLink is an established VMS and ATS software company with a genuine, mature product: requisition-to-invoice workflows, supplier management, consolidated invoicing, multi-tenancy, SSO and MFA. Its roots and network are in healthcare staffing. The comparison with Fullbench isn't better-or-worse software — it's a structural choice about who operates the program.
Side by side
Two different answers to "who runs this?"
| Question | Fullbench | StafferLink (per its public materials) |
|---|---|---|
| What you're buying | An operated program: the network, the vetting, the workflow administration — and the software that enforces the rules comes with it. | Software: a capable VMS/ATS platform that a health system, MSP, or program office licenses, configures, and operates. |
| Who does the work | Fullbench onboards and vets agencies, administers the workflow, and manages billing and remittance. The district approves; it doesn't operate. | The customer (or their program manager) runs vendor onboarding, rules configuration, and day-to-day administration in the tool. |
| Vertical | K-12 education only — district roles, school-year workflows, education credential gates. | Healthcare-oriented by history and network; no K-12 education clients or education-specific credential rules were located in public materials as of August 2026. |
| Economics | $0 to districts; published 3–5% agency fee at collection. | Software licensing/transaction pricing; public pricing was not located as of August 2026. |
| Best fit | A district that wants the outcome — a governed multi-agency program — without staffing an office to run it. | An organization that already has a program office and wants to license proven workflow software to run its own program. |

The takeaway
If you'd have to hire a program office, the software isn't the whole answer
Licensed VMS software is the right call for organizations with the staff to run it. Few school districts staff an office like that today — and none should need to build one. Fullbench's answer is to be the program office — with the rules published, the record timestamped, and the district holding every decision that matters.
