For Clients

FOR CLIENTS

Independent schools and educational institutions of all kinds sit at the very centre of what we do.

We get to know each of our clients individually, efficiently mapping their needs and aligning them with our deep understanding of the wider sector. Every school, every organisation, operates in the same dynamic sector—but each also expresses often very different needs.

Schools that work with us come to rely on our bespoke offering to help fill, identify and plan for vacancies in a way that helps them build for their future. We recruit for the long-term, matching vacancies with candidates from our very wide network, powering attainment through appointments.

We believe that great education begins with great people. We’ve designed our approach and our services to find the very best professionals for every school—and, most importantly, every pupil.
