Finding...

The Problem

The morning scramble

Sound familiar?

📱

5am Phone Trees

Principals making 20+ calls before sunrise, hoping someone picks up. Every. Single. Day.

🚫

No-Shows

Subs who confirm then ghost. Teachers scrambling to combine classes. Learning disrupted.

💸

Emergency Rates

Last-minute agencies charging 2-3x normal rates because they know you're desperate.

😓

Burned-Out Staff

Teachers covering for each other. Admin stretched thin. Everyone running on fumes.

The Solution

How Spur works

We handle staffing end-to-end so you don't have to.

We Build Your Bench

Our team actively recruits, screens, and vets substitutes in your area. Background checks, credential verification, and reference checks—all handled.

Smart Matching

When a teacher calls out, our system instantly matches the right sub to the job based on certification, experience, school preference, and past performance.

Proactive Outreach

We don't wait for subs to accept. Our team personally contacts top-rated subs and confirms coverage—often before you even know there's a gap.

Same-Day Backup

Even with the best planning, emergencies happen. Our on-call team fills last-minute requests with reliable, vetted subs you can trust.

Social-First Recruiting

TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn—we find people where they actually spend their time.

Mission-Driven Candidates

We attract people who want to be part of your schools—not just looking for any job.

Questions?

Frequently asked

How quickly can you start filling our positions?

Most districts see improved coverage within 2-3 weeks. We start by analyzing your current needs, building a local sub pool, and integrating with your existing systems. No lengthy implementation—we move fast.

What if a sub doesn't work out?

We track performance on every assignment. If a sub gets poor ratings, they're flagged and potentially removed from your pool. You can also block specific subs at any time—no questions asked.

Do you handle payroll and compliance?

Yes. We handle all payroll, workers' comp, and compliance requirements. Subs are our employees, not yours—which means less paperwork and liability for your district.

What does 92%+ fill rate actually mean?

It means that for every 100 sub requests, we fill at least 92 of them with qualified coverage. Industry average is around 70%. We guarantee 92%+ or we work with you to make it right.

How do you vet substitutes?

Every sub goes through FBI fingerprint background checks, credential verification, reference checks, and an interview. We also track performance ratings from teachers after every assignment.

What's the pricing model?

We charge a flat daily rate per sub—no surge pricing, no hidden fees. Most districts see 20-40% cost savings compared to their previous staffing approach. We'll give you a custom quote based on your needs.
