AI that fills bookings faster, eliminates compliance risk, and protects your margins — even as framework caps squeeze tighter.
Supply teaching runs on a rhythm no general-purpose CRM understands.
Schools call three agencies at 6:30am. The first to confirm a compliant teacher wins. Your CRM makes you click through five screens while the competition sends a confirmation.
One expired DBS placement. One Ofsted inspection. That's all it takes to lose 40% of your contracts.
AWR parity, umbrella costs, framework caps — by the time your accounts reveal the problem, you've been losing money for months.
Every AI feature solves a specific operational problem. No buzzwords.
Forget blanket "we are passionate about recruitment" emails that every agency sends. AirDesk learns about each school individually and writes outreach that proves it.
Hard blocks on expired DBS. Automated verification via DBS Update Service & Right to Work APIs.
Real margin at point of booking — AWR, umbrella fees, framework caps all factored in.
Automatic qualifying week tracking with cost impact calculations.
Booking confirmations and reminders where teachers actually check — via Meta Cloud API & Twilio.
Built for 6:30-9:00am. Every unfilled booking with AI-ranked matches.
One-click booking — compliance, margin, notifications, all in one action.
Schools request cover, track confirmations, approve timesheets. Agency-branded.
Mobile-first. Bookings, availability, timesheets, compliance docs.
11-stage Kanban for permanent and fixed-term roles.
Classroom to payroll without re-keying. Anomaly detection built in.
Trusts want one agency to manage everything — fill rates, compliance, cost control — within capped margins. AirDesk gives you the dashboards, SLA tracking, and multi-site management to be that agency.
