Leadership
Hourglass leads the way
Hourglass consultants have been playing a leading role in education recruitment for decades, and regularly partner with schools, multi-academy trusts and local authorities to help them recruit and retain the very best teachers – at all levels.
By working closely with education leaders, and offering expert advice and guidance, we regularly help to weigh up the pros and cons of key career development and strategic hiring decisions.
We have supported hundreds of schools, multi-academy trusts and local authorities, and every placement we’ve ever made shapes our approach to senior leadership roles.

My agent Claire ensured all I needed was at my fingertips, and my transition from Jamaica was smooth and effortless. All the necessary documents, interviews and places to be were suggested with hassle-free instructions. Thanks to Hourglass for making my transition to the UK a success and smooth one.
