QUIKONNEX: We do it better!
We looked at what's out there, and it isn't pretty. No fills, last second cancellations, how many sick or personal days one has left, not sure who is coming in to replace that staff member who is away. Drawing from our experiences in the education sector, we are bringing something that allows school and board staff to view and manage scheduling and staffing needs so you'll never need to make to take a 7am supply teacher call again.
We're not in it for the moneyWe get it, everything education is expensive. What we offer instead is an alternative: a non-profit that focuses on the more important details and making you worry less. Is Anyone Else Out There?
Our immediate competition includes ApplyToEducation and Jobs in Education. What we offer that they don't is the interface, management and support to ensure the easiest and best user experience. |
We're here to serve everyoneProviding service in both languages, our potential clients include all of the 78 provincially-funded school boards (English Public, French Public, English Catholic, French Catholic). |
Startup Costs
How You Can Support Us
Our goal is to raise $1.25 million for development and rollout. Part of our investment will go towards a 75% stake in the company that is shared with other investors. We will retain a 25% ownership in the company. 30% of your investment will go towards software development and integration licensing for Maplewood and Trillium. 40% will be involved in hiring our team of professionals to design, manage and lead. 20% will be invested in marketing to school boards in Ontario and then across Canada. 10% will be for leasing/renting of virtual and physical space at our headquarters in North Bay, Ontario. |
How We Can Save You Time and Money
ApplyToEducation currently charges applicants $12/year for unlimited applications within a school board. Unfortunately, the school boards don't see any of this money. We strive to change that. Our proposal includes a ONE TIME charge of $40 for lifetime applications within a school board. This includes initial applications for the occasional list as well as LTO and permanent positions. From that payment, we will forward $15 to the original investor school boards to which the payment was made to apply to. The remaining $25 will be used to ensure Quikonnex continues to provide the best in scheduling and staffing management. For school boards not part of original investment, a one-time license fee of $100,000 is required. Application payments for these boards will only begin once original investors have been repayed in full. Considering there are over 120,000 full-time teachers in Ontario with another 9,000 graduating every year, if we assume that every teaching graduate applies to three school boards, your initial investment can be paid back in as little as four years. After that, anything we pay back to you is money that can be used for the benefit of staff and students. |
