You may not realize there is an Absence Management System that is light-years ahead of Frontline. Red Rover is a system that texts subs when jobs are entered and helps your fill rate soar! Their app is 100% free and works well in real time. Some older absence management programs still use a bot caller (whose number most subs block) and are antiquated in many other ways. They don’t pay me to advertise for them, I just have experience with several companies and highly recommend Red Rover.
Communicating with substitutes is so important - it is how we develop positive relationships and fill absences. At Quest, we will get to know the substitutes and their preferred schools and make phone calls and send texts to specific substitutes based on what we learn about them as individuals. It is a much simpler process when we can be partnered with Red Rover which has great capabilities of connecting substitutes with open positions. Every advantage we can take to increase your fill rate and the number in your substitute pool is well worth it.
