We're recruiters. It's who we are; it's what we do. The dedicated people behind our work showcase our most valuable strength as a trusted service provider to schools. Each and every person involved in the priorities important to substitute management approaches the work with reverence to produce meaningful results.
Strong substitute management begins with the most creative and forward-thinking recruiting initiatives, allowing us to produce a strong pipeline of qualified and dedicated substitutes in the classrooms we serve. We produce results that enable schools to focus on the core services of instruction, curriculum, student safety and the hiring and development of staff.
There will forever be challenges in work – that’s why they call it work! The tough stuff requires us to be open-minded, look toward infinite possibility and draw on the generous present moment – a few principles that move us to lean in, go the distance and make it count.
