Hourglass consultants have been playing a leading role in education recruitment for decades, and regularly partner with schools, multi-academy trusts and local authorities to help them recruit and retain the very best teachers – at all levels.
By working closely with education leaders at all levels, and offering expert advice and guidance, we regularly help to weigh up the pros and cons of key career development and strategic hiring decisions.
We have supported hundreds of schools, multi-academy trusts and local authorities, and every placement we’ve ever made shapes our approach to senior leadership roles.
