Why Work With Us?

At EduExec Recruitment, we specialise in senior non-teaching roles that keep schools running smoothly - Finance, HR, Operations, Data, IT, Business Management, and everything in between. We don’t just fill vacancies; we act as an extension of your school’s recruitment and marketing efforts, bringing insight, guidance and a genuine understanding of the education sector to every partnership.

With over 20 years of recruitment experience, including a decade exclusively in education support and a prior ten years in finance recruitment, I understand the pressures and nuances of school operations. This expertise allows us to provide solutions that are not only effective but also aligned with your school’s culture, goals, and long-term vision.

Contingency Recruitment

We provide fast, flexible solutions for your urgent staffing needs, sourcing high-quality, vetted candidates who align with your school’s culture, values, and operational goals. Our no-hire, no-fee policy ensures you only invest in success.

Every CV we share comes with detailed interview notes and observations, giving you insight not just into skills and experience, but into a candidate’s motivations, values, and how they can contribute to your school’s ambitions. Our approach goes beyond simple matching - it’s about finding people who truly fit your team and your vision.

Retained Search

For senior leadership positions, our retained search service offers a confidential, highly focused approach- backed by decades of expertise in both education and finance recruitment. With decades of experience in education and finance recruitment, we go beyond job boards to identify and engage top-tier candidates, including those not actively looking. We handle every search with discretion and precision, ensuring you meet the right leaders efficiently, saving time and securing the talent your organisation needs.

Our Commitment

At EduExec, we pride ourselves on being more than recruiters, we’re true partners to the schools we work with. By keeping ahead of new legislation, sector developments, and operational trends, we provide informed, practical advice and support that adds real value. Our aim is to make your recruitment process seamless, strategic, and effective, so you can focus on what matters most: the core mission of your school.

We go further by regularly researching and publishing sector insight documents, salary surveys, and industry reports, ensuring our clients benefit from up-to-date knowledge and actionable intelligence that supports both recruitment and broader operational decision-making.
