HireEducation

HireEducation recruits for education technology and learning organizations, placing executives, leaders and staff with employers ranging from commercial firms and B Corps to nonprofits. Its approach is relational, aiming to act more like a guide than a headhunter, and it is part of the Sanford Rose Associates network of executive search firms.

Executive search for C-suite and board roles

Retained executive search is the firm's route to senior appointments, including C-suite and board leadership, through what it calls high-touch, retained partnerships. The work starts by mapping a candidate's career goals and the client's needs before any job is pitched. Communication and feedback carry the process through to the right match.

Recruitment process outsourcing at scale

For organizations that need many hires, HireEducation offers recruitment process outsourcing, in which it runs recruiting as an outsourced service. Its candidate pool is more than 60,000 people. Its attentive, long-term relationships give clients access to high quality candidates and to mission-driven companies.

Short-term executive assignments

Senior talent can also be placed on short-term or part-time assignments, so a client can access C-suite experience without a full-time appointment. This service sits beside retained search and outsourced recruiting, and it suits education organizations that need leadership for a defined period.

Sectors from early childhood to workforce development

The firm works with organizations across early childhood, K12 education, higher education and workforce development. It says it has grown alongside the edtech industry and shares what it has learned about organizational structure, the startup journey, diversity issues in hiring, personal marketing and the hiring process. Diversity, in the firm's words, goes beyond numbers and links organizations with skilled people from varied backgrounds.

The Sanford Rose network

The firm reports that Sanford Rose Associates is ranked as the tenth largest executive search firm in the United States by Executive Search Review. The network is made up of independently owned executive search firms, and it has been operating for more than 60 years. Its affiliations give clients access to a wider base of search expertise than a single office could offer.
