  • Many centers tell us they receive:

    • too many unqualified applicants

    • too few serious candidates

    • or no traction at all

    Posting jobs is passive. Our approach is proactive.

    We:

    • source candidates directly

    • reach out to qualified educators

    • screen and vet before submission

    • manage communication and follow-up

    You’re not just getting applicants—you’re getting qualified, curated candidates.

  • Contingency recruiting often sounds appealing because there’s no upfront cost—but it usually leads to:

    • inconsistent effort

    • low prioritization

    • reactive candidate flow

    Our model ensures:

    • your role is actively worked on every week

    • you’re a priority, not one of many open reqs

    • there is consistent momentum in your search

  • The placement fee is only paid when you successfully hire a candidate we introduced.

    It reflects the value of:

    • finding the right person

    • ensuring alignment

    • helping you make a confident hiring decision

  • Every search is different, but most roles begin generating qualified candidates within the first few weeks.

    Timeline depends on:

    • compensation and requirements

    • local talent availability

    What we ensure is consistent activity and progress throughout the search.

  • We focus specifically on early childhood education, including:

    • Teachers (assistant, lead)

    • Directors and assistant directors

    • Administrative and support roles

    Because we specialize in ECE, we understand the nuances of these roles and what makes a strong candidate.

  • The search continues as long as the monthly engagement is active.

    If you need to pause:

    • we can pause the search and resume when you’re ready

    Our goal is to stay flexible while maintaining momentum when the search is active.

  • That’s completely normal.

    Many clients start with a conversation to:

    • assess hiring needs

    • understand timelines

    • determine whether a search makes sense

    We’re happy to talk through your situation before any commitment.

  • We combine:

    • specialization in early childhood education

    • a structured, hands-on recruiting process

    • consistent candidate sourcing and screening

    Most importantly, we take ownership of the process—so you’re not left chasing applicants while trying to run your center.

  • Any candidate we introduce remains associated with the search.

    If you hire that candidate—whether immediately or at a later date—the placement fee applies.

    This allows us to confidently invest time and resources into sourcing and presenting strong candidates for your organization.

  • Most hiring approaches fall into two extremes:

    • No upfront cost, but inconsistent results

    • success-based payment when you hire

    • alignment from start to finish

  • Yes—and that’s often why clients come to us.

    We regularly work with centers that:

    • have open roles for months
