The future of recruitment in the education industry

Traditional job boards depend on candidates visiting their site. However, only 10-15% of teachers and education professionals actively seek new roles. Gaia identifies, targets, and engages with the remaining 85% who aren’t actively job hunting.
By targeting passive job-seekers across the education sector, we expand your school’s talent pool, ensuring you receive both quality and quantity in job applications.

As digital media recruitment experts, we leverage our advanced AI-powered platform to optimise job ads and maximise reach across social media and search channels. We also specialise in ensuring that your recruitment marketing aligns seamlessly with your school’s values. Our team of digital marketing experts crafts high-conversion candidate landing pages, guaranteeing a seamless and engaging application experience. Attracting top talent is effortless with our tailored approach.



Reach education staff through search and social

Reaching candidates across digital media is an increasingly popular recruitment method for forward-thinking schools. Our experienced team of social media strategists can take the hassle out of managing your social media channels and devise a recruitment strategy that is bespoke for your organisation.
