A proven path from posting to hired.
One marketing-driven process that attracts, nurtures, and qualifies candidates for every role.
We market your open roles
Targeted campaigns on job boards and social reach both active and passive candidates where they already are.
Branded microsites tell your story
Custom landing pages showcase your district culture, benefits, and opportunities to build real connection.
We screen, interview & pre-vet
Our team runs an early screening interview and a recorded video interview, so only qualified candidates ever reach you.
We schedule, negotiate & hand off
We coordinate interview scheduling and, when your district needs it, support salary negotiation — then hand off candidates into your ATS, with permanent, contract, or temp-to-hire options to fit your timeline.
Every teacher arrives certification-verified.
Credential and compliance checks happen before the handoff — so your team interviews qualified, license-ready teachers, not unscreened applicants.
State certification verified
We confirm active teaching licenses and endorsements for your state before a candidate ever reaches your team.
Background & reference screened
Background checks and reference verification are handled up front, so you only review school-ready candidates.
Screened & video pre-vetted
Every certified teacher completes an early screening interview and a recorded video interview, so you see teaching presence before you ever schedule.
Documentation ready
Credentials, endorsements, and interview notes transfer cleanly into your ATS for a compliant, fast hire.
You only pay when you hire.
Most staffing agencies charge retainers and steep placement fees whether you hire or not. HireK12 carries the risk — if we don't deliver a hire, you don't pay.
$0 upfront
Start filling roles with zero cost to launch a campaign.
No retainers or placement fees
No long contracts and none of the 20–25% agency placement fees.
Pay only on a signed hire
You pay when a candidate accepts and signs — not before.

The questions district leaders ask most before they bring HireK12 in for teacher recruitment.
How does HireK12 recruit certified teachers for our district?
We run targeted marketing campaigns across job boards and social channels to reach active and passive certified teachers, nurture them through branded microsites about your district, then screen and pre-vet them through an early screening interview and a recorded video interview. We coordinate interview scheduling and, when needed, support salary negotiation before handing off license-verified, interview-ready candidates into your ATS.
Can you fill hard-to-staff roles like special education and STEM?
Yes. Special education, math, science, and bilingual roles are where districts struggle most, so they are where our marketing-driven sourcing matters most. We target credentialed candidates with the specific endorsements your openings require.
How fast can you fill a teaching position?
Most districts see qualified candidates within weeks, and our process cuts time-to-hire by roughly half compared with traditional posting-and-waiting. Many districts fill the majority of their teaching roles before the school year begins.
Do you verify state certification and run background checks?
Every teacher is certification-verified for your state and background and reference screened before the handoff. You only spend interview time on compliant, license-ready candidates.
What does it cost, and when do we pay?
There are no retainers and no agency-style placement fees. You only pay when a certified teacher accepts and signs an offer — zero cost to launch a campaign.
Can we hire teachers on a temporary or contract basis?
Yes. When your hiring timeline calls for it, we can place certified teachers on a temporary or contract-to-hire basis — so you keep classrooms covered now and convert to a permanent hire when your district is ready.
Do you work with small or rural districts?
Yes. We support districts of every size, from small rural systems to large urban ones, and tailor campaigns to the candidates and communities you are recruiting from.
