If you are an education professional looking to change jobs, consider partnering with a staffing agency like AB Staffing. We specialize in placing you where you will thrive. While we cannot guarantee positions, our recruiters do their best to match you with the most appropriate position for your skills and experience.
We understand that education professionals deserve better compensation for their work. After all, you’re molding the minds of future leaders, so why not get the best position and benefits for your efforts? When you partner with a staffing agency specializing in placing special education teachers, school psychologists, SLPs, school nurses, and others where they want to work, it benefits everyone.
Before signing a contract, make sure ask questions so you are comfortable with the job responsibilities. Finding the right recruiter for you isn’t as simple as calling the first one in the search or one that your colleague likes. It’s a personal decision for you and your family. If a one-hour commute each way pays more but will cost you time from family, is it worth it?
In our article Recruiter Red Flags and Green Flags, we detail what makes a recruiter or staffing company a good fit or not.
What are the benefits of partnering with a staffing agency as an education professional?
We work to find opportunities you may not know about or have time to find. That’s the simplest way to say what we do on your behalf. We, of course, need your background and info to match you to your next opportunity.
Working with a staffing agency to find your next job as an education professional is an effective way to earn more while receiving benefits that you may not have currently.
Benefits may include:
- Weekly paychecks
- 401K plans
- Insurance coverage
- Disability plans
- Life insurance
We have a broader range of opportunities, including those that may not be advertised to the public. Unless you’re in administration, you may not be aware of changes in the district, including open positions that may interest you. We may have that access and can connect you.
Staffing agencies offer personalized support and guidance throughout the job search and hiring process.
We pride ourselves on having recruiters who are personally dedicated to you. You won’t be receiving calls from multiple people, just your recruiter. That isn’t always the case with staffing agencies, so it’s important. Questions can be directed to your recruiter at any time in the process, including while you’re on contract.
Lastly, you can think bigger and find positions that match specific preferences and needs. Make your wish list, and let’s see what we can do together. We can’t make guarantees but can do our best to find your next placement that matches your skills, experience, and needs.
Before hitting Apply, consider the following:
Think about what you want in your next job as an education professional. What do you want in the job? How far are you willing to commute? What’s good for you personally, your family, pets, etc.? Then, ask friends for referrals to staffing agencies and learn more about working with a staffing agency.
- Think about your job preferences. Consider commute time, grade levels, type of classroom (resource or self-contained), and mild to moderate or moderate to severe.
- Schedule a call with a Recruiter. Ask questions and gather information.
- After the initial call, provide your recruiter with an updated resume, all active credentials, degrees, and certifications, three professional references, and an application.
Rules of Engagement for Submission to Schools
Be transparent and communicate with your recruiter.
AB Staffing Solutions cannot submit you to the same districts as you have already directly applied for the upcoming school year. We also cannot submit you if another agency has already done so.
Stay in contact with your recruiter. Being transparent and communicative is key! This will ensure we don’t cross paths with other agencies and staffing agencies. Please let your recruiter know if you’ve landed a position that wasn’t through us.
