  • SmartFind - FAQ

    How can I increase the number of calls I receive?
  • Increase the number of schools you have listed in your profile.
  • Select schools that have fewer substitutes willing to go to them (typically the Northern schools, or East Wellington schools).
  • Be available - make sure your Daily Availability is correct and shows you are available.
  • Since the majority of callout occurs between 6:00 - 7:00 pm, try to be available to take the job offers (switch your phone number to a cell phone if you are going out during these times).
  • Increase the number of classifications you are "willing to teach".
  • Select classifications that have fewer substitutes willing to teach them (typically core French, French immersion, and the grade 7/8 classifications).


  • How do I change my Daily Availability?
  • If your profile currently shows you are available Monday - Friday (All Day).
  • You must first delete the Day of the Week you would like to change. (in this example, Wednesday)
  • Once the Day of the Week is deleted, you can click on "New", the default will show Monday - Friday (All Day).
  • Unclick the Days of the Week that are currently in your profile (in this example, Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri).
  • Modify your available times for Wednesday if needed, and click on Save.


  • Daily Availability - 60 Days in Future?
  • Your Daily Availability in Smart Find is for the next 60 days.
  • If you are unavailable every Monday afternoon for the next few months, I would suggest making this change in your Daily Availability.
  • If you are unavailable next Monday afternoon (only next week), I would suggest entering this date/time in your Temporary Unavailability Period.


  • If you have concerns with regard to SMARTFIND, please email the webmaster with the details. We will try to address your concerns when we meet with board personnel.
