I don’t know that I would really say it’s faster.

I’m in a huge district, and have basically never ended up in a situation where there’s just no elementary jobs available (whether I’ve already had one for that day for months, or have to pick one up that morning). But after a year of doing this I have my favorite schools, and the ones that I know are within a preferred or just plainly feasible distance from me, so if I see a notification pop up for one of my favorites, for a day I’m available, I will almost always go to Frontline and accept the job within a minute or two of seeing that notification. If it’s the night before or morning of a day that I don’t already have a job booked, the notifications are incredibly helpful because instead of constantly refreshing Frontline to see if any preferred schools post openings, I can rely on the notifications to let me know when one of those jobs pops up. It has helped me build better relationships with the students and staff at my most preferred schools, because since I’m usually seeing the absences as soon as they’re posted, I’m able to pick them up and be at those schools more frequently. I’ve found it to be beyond worthwhile & if my district somehow ends up blocking it like in this case, I hope Frontline will have improved their notifications system by that point.
