How the Program Works
The eight steps from one posting to one invoice, drawn out: simultaneous release, the credential gate refusing a start date, and approved hours consolidating into a single bill.
Staffing through five agencies is a second job
Every open role means separate emails, calls and follow-ups to each agency your district uses, and separate answers to chase down and compare. Credential files arrive by email, in different formats, on each agency's timeline, and someone in your office tracks all of it. Multiply that by every opening, every absence and every semester. Those hours land on your HR team and your building leaders — not on the vacancy.
One partner for every agency
- One contact, one relationship instead of separately contacting and following up with several agencies.
- You state a need once. We handle distribution to your agencies, follow-up, credential collection and timesheet processing.
- Your team keeps the decisions: which people to accept, which documents to approve and which hours to pay.
Keep the agencies you trust
Your current agencies stay. Fullbench coordinates them; it does not replace them. When your agencies cannot cover a role, we bring in well-vetted suppliers — with your approval. Your district decides who participates.
One request, one path
You tell us the need, or your team posts it directly. Every approved agency sees the opening at the same recorded instant: no calling around, and no agency hearing about it first. Candidates come back through one place, in one format, ready to compare side by side.
The credential gate
No start date can be set while any required document is missing or still awaiting review. Your district defines the documents; each file is reviewed before it counts. Nobody stands in front of students on a promise that paperwork is "on the way" — and a daily check warns your office and the agency thirty days before a clearance lapses on anyone already working.
A record you can stand behind
Every release, submission, approval and status change is timestamped on the program record. When a board member or auditor asks who was cleared, when, and who approved it, the answer is in one place. Hours are clocked and approved on screen, so the work record and the approval record are the same record.
What it costs your district
Nothing. There is no program fee, no software license and no new line in your budget. The program is funded by the participating agencies, after your district has paid. Your district pays for the hours its schools approve, on one consolidated invoice.
Who runs it
The team behind Fullbench staffs schools every day — special education, related services, paraprofessionals, nursing and substitutes — and has made more than 2,000 school placements in the last twelve months. Schools put it in writing:
"Consistently matched us with exceptional talent who have made a significant impact on our students' learning experience." — Erin D. Murphy-Richardson, Superintendent, The Barack Obama Green Charter Schools, Plainfield, NJ
"An invaluable partner in ensuring the continuity of education in our school." — Dr. David Weathington, Chief Executive Officer, Buttonwood Farms / Delta School, Philadelphia, PA
A pilot sized to prove it
Start narrow: one school, one role type, or your hardest-to-fill category. Your current agencies keep working throughout. There is no program cost to start, and you decide whether to continue — measured against your own record of touches per opening, time to a cleared start, and fill status you can see without a call.
Frequently asked questions
What should a superintendent know about managed staffing?
That it moves the coordination of every staffing agency off district staff while leaving every decision with the district — at no program cost — and that the record it keeps makes every placement explainable to a board or auditor.
How long does it take to start?
One onboarding call. Your workspace is seeded with your schools, agencies and roles beforehand, and your first real opening is released on the call.
Can we pilot Fullbench before committing?
Yes. A 60-to-90-day pilot on one department or role category, with a written report built from your own record at the end.
