Meet TEd, our mascot

Too often, we saw candidates left waiting for calls that never came. Schools promised more than agencies could deliver. Honest feedback replaced with convenient excuses.

But we also saw what happens when recruitment is done properly. When expectations are honest from the very beginning. When every candidate feels valued and every school has a partner they can rely on.

So we asked ourselves a simple question: why not build something that truly reflects everything we’ve learned?

Transparency Education is the answer. No shortcuts. No hidden agendas. No empty promises. Just recruitment done the way it should be, because behind every classroom is a child whose education matters.

Our mission

Raise the standard of education recruitment.

Lasting partnerships built through honest communication, exceptional service and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing.

Our vision

Become the UK’s most trusted education recruitment partner.

Relationships, not transactions. Trust, not promises. Long-term partnerships, not short-term placements.

Our promise

Communicate openly. Act with integrity. Put people first.

We’ll never overpromise, never hide behind excuses and never treat people as numbers. Trust is earned every single day.

Our vision

“To leave education recruitment in a better place than we found it.”

Work with people who put people first.
