A vision to change the educational hiring landscape!
Aquinas Education aspired to reshape the landscape of educational hiring by recognising and addressing prevalent challenges in the sector. They wanted to uproot the hurdles that come in the way of swiftly placing qualified teachers and helping educators find suitable positions. They realised that these issues persisted due to outdated hiring methods and inadequate job platforms. These shortcomings lead to delays, inefficiencies, and increased administrative burdens.
The team at Aquinas Education identified these challenges and committed to leveraging technology to pioneer a transformation in staffing processes. Their vision was to create a user-friendly platform that caters specifically to the intricacies of education staffing.
Transformation to a next-gen platform
From an outdated system unable to meet evolving needs
Aquinas Education’s previous platform faced significant challenges due to its outdated design, poor functionalities, and a user journey that no longer aligned with the vision.
As times evolved, the platform struggled to fulfil the changing needs of schools, educators, and administrative professionals. Its inefficiencies were evident in its inability to cater to the evolving requirements of these stakeholders, prompting the team of Aquinas to seek a revamp of the platform.
