Why now?

First, the teacher recruitment crisis has reached a breaking point, with growing recruitment needs, a shortage of qualified teachers, and budget constraints making the process increasingly difficult. Not to mention the supply/demand factor, with teachers leaving the field in large numbers. Second, since the pandemic, schools and teachers have become more open and adaptable to technological solutions than ever. The additional complexities for recruiting International School teachers, combined with growing volumes makes the timing is perfect for a new and innovative approach to teacher recruitment.

Why you?

My professional background is in marketing, communications, and technology, and my career and personal life have been tied to International Schools for decades. I attended one growing up, married an international school teacher/administrator, and managed marketing & communications at a premier school for a few years. The idea to build a recruitment solution was first born in 2018, but the pandemic cut that journey short. When the opportunity presented itself to adapt Searchality for the US K-12 market in 2023 and the International market in 2024,  the timing was perfect.  

What makes Searchality different?

It is designed specifically for K-12 schools & educators - collecting all the information and criteria that this unique group of school leaders and candidates need. Education recruitment is unlike any other sector and needs to be treated as such.

Searchality is built using technology to assist and not replace the human job of recruiting great teachers. After all, recruitment is a mix of art & science. Searchality takes care of the 'science' so that people can spend their time on the 'art.'

Searchality works hard on behalf of schools AND educators. Traditional recruitment products and services are often transactional, focusing on resumes - not the individual needs of the school - and, all too often, ignore the candidates. Searchality is designed for both, understanding that giving candidates a good recruitment experience (whether the outcome is ultimately positive or negative) is good for everyone.
