Mission Driven
We price for impact, not shareholder returns
The vacancy isn’t the whole cost
Every unfilled position costs you more than a salary line.
Three ways to work with us
Every district’s staffing gap looks different. Choose the model that fits your need or we can provide a custom staffing solution that satisfies requirements and constraints.
Contract Staffing
Staff on CSTC payroll, managed by your site supervisors. We recruit, screen, train, fill vacancies, and cover call-outs, so your program runs fully staffed without adding headcount.
Best for: high-turnover positions where you want a turnkey solution.
Sub Coverage
Fast, reliable substitutes when call-outs, leaves of absence, and resignations create vacancies within your classified positions.
Best for: districts losing student attendance hours to staff absences.
Temp-to-Hire
Candidates start on CSTC payroll and convert to district hires after three months. See staff work before you hire and stop losing finalists to other offers mid-process.
Best for: filling seats now while progressing through the district’s hiring process and building district capacity for the long run.
