Requested substitutes and school favorites lists
April 22, 2025
What does it mean to be added to the favorites list?
After you complete an assignment at a school, the school has the option to add you to their "favorites" list.
When schools issue an assignment they have the option to select subs from their "favorites list" using our “requested sub” feature.
- Note: Schools can choose more than one requested sub for an assignment so it is best to accept as soon as possible if you are interested.
If any requested subs choose NOT to accept within the given timeframe the rest of the sub-pool will be notified.
How do you know if you were requested?
- When you are requested for an assignment the SMS (text message) or app notification will indicate "You've been requested"
- You will find your request under "Open Commitments" to accept
- Your profile on our platform indicates the number of times a school requested you for a specific request
How do I get added to a school's favorites list?
Be sure to communicate to your point-of-contact that you enjoy working at their site and would like to return
- Ask if the school has any feedback for you at the end of the day
