somebody answers.

The problem

At 6 a.m., an educator is out sick. Now what?

01

You call the substitutes one by one. Half don't pick up. The other half are already booked.

02

You text the Facebook group. Three « sorry » replies land at 7:12. The shift starts at 7:30.

03

Parents start arriving. You improvise. You cover the shift yourself. You lose sleep over it.

How it works

Three steps. No email chains.

1

You post

Date, time, qualifications, language. Thirty seconds. The request is ready.

2

StaffiG notifies

Eligible substitutes get an instant alert on their phone. Ranked by distance, language, and history.

3

They answer

You watch the yeses arrive in real time. You confirm in one click. She gets the confirmation before you close the tab.

Average time from posting to confirmation: 8 minutes.
The coordinator side

You watch the yeses arrive live.

While the notifications go out, your dashboard fills up. Acceptances, declines, distance, language, match score — everything you need to confirm in one click.

The platform

Every role has its screen.

Beyond the dashboard: self-serve replacement, the network view for leadership, and the substitutes' pocket app.

Self-serve replacement

« Need a replacement » — no middleman.

An employee can't make it in? She reports it herself. The pool is alerted instantly, and the first to accept takes the shift — automatically. The coordinator sees everything, without being the bottleneck.

They choose when.

An availability grid you tick in two seconds. StaffiG never disturbs a substitute on a day she isn't open — that's why they answer.

Frequently asked

Everything you're wondering.

01How much does it cost?+

Monthly rate per organization, based on the number of shifts posted. Free demo, 30-day trial. No credit card to start.

02Do my substitutes have to download an app?+

No. It's a web app. They open it on their phone, add it to their home screen, and that's it. No app store.

03What if nobody answers?+

StaffiG automatically widens the search after 5 minutes and sends an SMS to the best candidates. You get an alert if the shift is still unfilled after 20 minutes.

04Does my data stay in Canada?+

Yes. Servers in Montreal and Toronto. Compliant with Quebec's Law 25. No data leaves the country without your explicit consent.

05English or French?+

Both. Every user picks their own language. Notifications, reminders, the interface — everything is translated. A francophone coordinator can manage an anglophone substitute without friction.

06Does it replace my staffing agency?+

For the substitutes you already know — yes. StaffiG has no national pool: you invite the people you trust. Think of it as an address book that answers by itself at 6 a.m.

07Can my permanent employees report an absence themselves?+

Yes — that's self-serve replacement. A sick educator opens StaffiG, describes the shift to cover, and the pool is alerted instantly. The first to accept is assigned automatically. You can turn on a « validation » mode if you prefer to approve before it goes out.

08We have several sites — does it work?+

That's what it's built for. Each network gets its own private workspace with all its sites, a single substitute pool shared across them, and an overview for leadership: fill rate per organization, shortage cities, a complete activity log.

A 15-minute demo

Next time an educator is out sick at 6 a.m. — somebody will answer.

No commitment. No PowerPoint deck. We show you the tool, you ask your questions, we hang up.
