Q360 FAQs
What is Q360 Workforce Solutions?
Q360 Workforce Solutions is a workforce-management and staffing partner that helps school districts secure qualified professionals while simplifying compliance, credentialing, billing, and oversight through a centralized model.
How is Q360 different from a traditional staffing agency?
Traditional staffing agencies focus on recruiting and placing their own candidates. Q360 focuses on managing the workforce process.
Q360 does not operate as a single staffing vendor. Instead, we oversee coordination, compliance, credentialing, billing, and performance across staffing vendors—providing districts with structure, accountability, and efficiency without limiting access to talent. This allows districts to fill positions more effectively while reducing the administrative burden of managing multiple staffing vendors internally.
Who does Q360 serve?
Q360 primarily supports:
School districts and educational organizations
Public, private, and charter schools requiring credentialed professionals
What types of positions can Q360 support?
Q360 supports a wide range of roles, including:
Special education and general education staff
Related service providers (OT, PT, SLP, school psychology, nursing, etc.)
Short-term, long-term, and interim placements
Do we have control over who is placed in our buildings?
Yes. Our partners maintain full approval authority over all professionals. Q360 facilitates sourcing, screening, and compliance, but final decisions always rest with the school district.
What is an Open MSP model?
Many MSP models are closed or semi-closed, meaning staffing is primarily sourced from a limited group of affiliated vendors. While this can simplify vendor management, it often constrains the candidate pool and can result in positions remaining unfilled when those vendors are unable to deliver.
Q360 operates using an Open Managed Service Provider (Open MSP) model. We include our sister company, Quantum Education Professionals, along with qualified external vendors. Districts are also invited to include any existing staffing vendors they value and wish to retain within the Q360 framework. The district remains in control of what vendors are selected to work in your school district.
Rather than reducing vendors for the sake of consolidation, Q360 prioritizes filling open positions with qualified professionals. By coordinating multiple workforce channels through one point of accountability, consistent compliance standards, and consolidated billing, Q360 reduces administrative burden without limiting access to talent. The result is greater flexibility, faster fills, and a workforce strategy aligned to student and district needs.
Why would a district or organization choose an Open MSP approach?
Clients choose Open MSPs to:
Increase access to qualified professionals
Reduce administrative complexity
Improve cost visibility and control
Maintain consistent compliance standards
Increase fill rates
Avoid over-dependence on any single staffing vendor
Can Q360 work with our existing staffing vendors?
Yes. Q360 can integrate existing vendor relationships into the Open MSP framework, preserving continuity while improving oversight and efficiency.
How does Q360 manage compliance and credentialing?
Q360 centrally manages compliance to reduce risk and ensure consistency across all workforce sources.
Q360 oversees:
License and certification verification
Background checks
Ongoing credential and expiration tracking
Policy and documentation management
Verification of required insurance coverage for both vendors and individual staff members, including workers’ compensation and professional liability where applicable
This approach ensures all professionals—regardless of staffing source—meet district, state, and regulatory requirements, while providing districts with a single, accountable compliance framework.
How does Q360 reduce organizational risk?
By centralizing compliance, credential tracking, and workforce documentation, Q360 reduces exposure to:
Credential lapses
Inconsistent onboarding practices
Audit and reporting gaps
Vendor-related compliance issues
What does implementation look like for a new Q360 partner?
Implementation typically includes:
Stakeholder alignment and planning
Workflow and process setup
Training for district or organizational leadership
Clear communication protocols
Q360 works closely with clients to ensure a smooth transition.
How long does implementation take?
Timelines vary by district size and complexity, but Q360 designs implementations to minimize disruption and deliver value quickly. Typical transitions are 30-90 days depending on the size and complexity of the district and services.
Is Q360 scalable for large districts or multi-site organizations?
Yes. Q360 is designed to scale from a few placements to system-wide workforce management, including large districts and education systems.
How much does it cost to work with Q360 Workforce Solutions?
There is no cost to the district to work with Q360 Workforce Solutions.
Q360 is funded through a participation fee paid by staffing vendors, typically 5% of the vendor’s invoice, in exchange for centralized workforce management, compliance oversight, and billing consolidation.
For districts, this model often:
Replaces fragmented vendor arrangements with a more transparent, coordinated structure
Improves cost control through consistent oversight and visibility across vendors
Reduces hidden administrative, compliance, and management costs that are often absorbed internally
This approach allows districts to gain the benefits of workforce management and accountability without adding cost or complexity to their budgets.
What is it like to work with Q360 Workforce Solutions day to day?
Q360 operates as a true workforce partner, not a transactional staffing vendor. Our partner districts work with a dedicated point of contact who understands their organization, priorities, and challenges.
Our role is to manage the complexity behind the scenes—coordination, compliance, billing, and oversight—so districts experience a white-glove, streamlined process rather than juggling multiple vendors or internal workflows. The result is greater efficiency, clearer communication, and a long-term partnership built around trust and accountability.
