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.
When one paraprofessional opening means four phone calls, three follow-ups and no clear answer on who is cleared to start, the problem is not your agencies — it is that nobody manages them as one. The pilot proves the alternative on one department, with every agency you use today still working.
What your district does
- Picks the scope — one department or role category with openings expected in the window — and names one point of contact.
- Names its current agencies for that scope and its requirements for a compliant start, and gives us a green light to contact them.
- Approves or declines every candidate and every start, exactly as it does now.
What our team does
- Onboards your current agencies for the pilot scope: the outreach, the setup and the follow-up.
- Releases each opening to every approved agency at the same recorded instant, then chases submissions.
- Reviews the documents you require and records the outcome: no start date can be set while any required document is missing or still awaiting review.
- Runs timesheets, approvals and status in one place, so fill status is visible without a phone call.
How it runs, and how it ends
- Day 0: scope agreed, one contact named.
- Week one: baseline set from your recent openings.
- Days 60–90: written before-and-after report, from your data.
- Close: a decision, not a renewal — continue, expand or stop. Nothing to unwind either way.
What the report compares
| Measure | Before the pilot | What the pilot records |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first qualified submission | Your estimate from recent openings | Release to the first candidate who meets your requirements |
| Time to cleared start | Your estimate | Release to the first day worked, every document approved |
| Admin touches | Calls, emails and chases today | The same count, per opening, under the pilot |
| Fill-status visibility | Who you call to learn where an opening stands | Whether your contact sees every opening's status without asking |
