We began using StaffSync just over a term ago. It has been amazing how much time I have saved; it’s quick and easy to use and makes the time it takes before school to find a reliever a lot less stressful. It has also meant we have been able to widen our pool of preferred relievers. Our office manager can view the SUE reports quickly and easily and process them straight through to EdPay. Highly recommend!

We recently joined StaffSync and it’s been great. The set-up process has been easy and has been very well supported by their team. I found it tough to get relievers all year, and this term through StaffSync I’ve already had several quality new relievers in our school who have now joined our “preferred reliever” list. It’s also great that StaffSync links with our administrative system and calendars to record the use of relievers, this will be really useful.

StaffSync has been a lifesaver this year! It is an incredibly easy system to use, has saved so much time when booking relievers and introduced us to relievers we didn’t have access to previously. It was an excellent choice for us and we look forward to using StaffSync again next year. The StaffSync staff are also incredibly helpful. Lis has helped us out on many occasions and no question has been a problem. We are so grateful to her for introducing us to StaffSync!

StaffSync has been great. We are a large school and finding relievers has at times been challenging. Since having StaffSync we have access not only to our preferred relievers but a much wider pool if needed with just a few clicks. The other great things about it are that it syncs to our Google calendar plus we have access to reports about relieving days that help us forward plan for the subsequent year. We would recommend it.

StaffSync has made my job so much easier. The fact that we have a ready-made database of relievers that we can access means that our pool of relievers is much bigger. I love the app based nature of it too as it means I can book relievers ‘on the go’ with all the bookings stored in one place. It’s much more cost effective than using recruitment agencies, which means that money goes to students, which is what we all want. I couldn’t recommend StaffSync more highly.

I have been finding relievers manually for 15 years and StaffSync has just made my job so much easier. Gone are the mornings and nights of ringing around 10 – 15 relievers trying to find someone for the next day. We are lucky to have a lot of schools in our areas using StaffSync, so a lot of relievers are on the app. I don’t know how I survived so long without this.
