PSL management software for schools and education
Manage recruitment suppliers, control vacancy access, organise candidate submissions, maintain rate information and oversee placements through one education-focused platform.
SnapIQ helps schools create a more structured preferred supplier process without relying entirely on spreadsheets and email chains.
Bring structure to your preferred supplier list
A preferred supplier list can help schools establish stronger recruitment processes, but managing suppliers manually can create additional administration.
Vacancies may be distributed through separate emails, candidate submissions can arrive in different formats and agreed rates may be difficult to locate.
SnapIQ gives education employers and recruitment suppliers a shared platform for managing relevant PSL activity.
