About us

Who we are

We officially launched in 2022, but have more than a decade’s worth of combined experience in education recruitment. It’s our mission to be known for having the highest retention rates for candidates and only providing the best quality staff for long-term and permanent placements. 

Our focus is on whole-school recruitment – everything from graduate support staff, teachers, middle leaders,  senior leaders and back office too. We do things a little differently, and we try our best to bring fresh perspectives to education recruitment. Our processes are thorough yet efficient, making it easier for our clients and schools to find the right skills and talent and for our candidates to find their perfect next step.

With us, you’ll receive quality, efficiency, safeguarding, and value for money – but what we’re really proud of is our relationships. We provide you with honest, specialist guidance, ensuring both our clients and candidates are totally happy with any placement we make.
