We understand that appointing your next headteacher or senior leader is possibly the single most important decision you will make to influence the success of your organisation. That’s why we have developed a bespoke service that provides a highly effective alternative to purely traditional recruitment methods.

When you partner with us, you can expect:

• A targeted head-hunting campaign: rather than waiting for trusted leaders and headteachers to apply, we talk to them directly to encourage an application, proactively sourcing the best leaders for your institution.
• Our extensive national networks:  our in-house research and sourcing teams will marry our national scale with local expertise to generate the best leadership talent for your role. 
• In depth application analysis: we thoroughly research our candidates’ Ofsted performance, exam results and impact to date, and provide detailed assessments of candidates prior to the shortlisting meeting – allowing you to make a more informed decision.
• An end-to-end service: we support and advise you throughout the entire process – from planning to the final appointment stage. We’ll also provide technical assistance, support at assessment and Governor training, if required. 
• A trusted ambassador: this includes handling all responses, keeping in regular contact with candidates, answering queries, organising school tours, and representing your school professionally.  

Whether you’re a school, college, or Multi Academy Trust (MAT), we have the knowledge, extensive talent networks and cutting-edge technology to source headteachers and trusted leaders ready to make an immediate impact.
