StaffSync

StaffSync is a New Zealand-owned software platform that helps schools find and manage relief teachers. Founded more than a decade ago, it connects schools directly with a nationwide network of over 4,000 relievers. The cloud-based, app-accessible service is designed for schools and teachers to use across devices, making it easier to arrange cover and manage related administration.

Schools can post shifts, check relievers’ real-time availability, send job notifications, and confirm bookings. StaffSync also centralises staff records and compliance documents, supports payroll processes with integration-ready data and SUE reporting, and provides reports on placements, staff utilisation, and compliance. These tools help schools reduce administrative workload and keep staffing information organised.

StaffSync says it is used by more than half of New Zealand’s primary and intermediate schools. More than half of posted jobs are filled within five minutes, and the platform reports an overall placement success rate of 87%. The company also offers local support and personalised demonstrations for schools considering the service.
