About us
Welcome to the UK's only specialist recruiter working exclusively for independent
schools, for whom we've placed more than 800 talented teachers, heads and
supporting members of staff to date.
Recruiting for your school
Most of the schools we work with are accustomed to handling recruitment in-house, but there are many advantages to engaging a specialist agency. Here are just five:
Reducing your workload
Managing recruitment during a busy term can be a demanding job, leaving little time for your own. We can do the legwork – handling advertising, applications, screening and more – freeing you from all but the key steps of interviewing shortlisted candidates and deciding who gets the good news.
A broader reach
Roles you have asked us to work on are advertised on The Guardian, our website and other platforms free of charge, but we're proactive in seeking out new talent too, through targeted search campaigns and enhanced access to social media.
​A treasure trove of talent
We've built an extensive database of high quality candidates over 15 years as sector specialists, which includes teachers at all levels and for a wide variety of subjects, all over the UK.
Tailored to your needs
We spend time visiting your school to ensure we fully understand your culture, ethos and requirements, and ensure every interaction reflects your high standards and values.
100% risk-free
Our rates are highly competitive, with no charge at all if we don't find someone you're delighted to appoint to the role.
