Our Journey
Our Journey
From day one, Hourglass has focused on schools and teachers. We know that our role is simple – to introduce the best possible teachers to our client schools. Since we started out in 2012, there has rarely been a dull moment! But we’ve always known that our reputation rests on the calibre of our candidates and the benefits they bring to the classroom.
-
2012 Hourglass is born
-
Hourglass’ handpicked team of experienced recruitment consultants establishes itself in the UK education recruitment market.
-
2015 Ground-breaking recruitment
-
Hourglass plays a lead role in a ground-breaking overseas recruitment. 41 of those teachers extended their contracts after an initial two-year term. By 2021, more than 30 of them were still employed at the Trust – and some are leading academies of their own.
-
2019 Hourglass joins PPR
-
In 2019, Hourglass teamed up with Pertemps Professional Recruitment. This is a great fit as we share an ambitious approach to recruitment, a passion for working with people, and operating with honesty and integrity.
-
2021 Award winning leadership
-
It’s fair to say Andrew Anastasiou’s business plan is consistently ambitious!
He established Pertemps Professional Recruitment in December 2016, and has overseen its dramatic growth and radical brand development since then.
Andrew’s leadership skills were recognised in 2021 when he won ‘Agency Recruitment Leader of the Year’ in the prestigious Recruiter Awards.

2023 Hourglass takes the lead!
