Welcome to Academicis,
Appointing the Education Leaders Your Schools and Trusts Need

Academicis has made over 2,300 senior appointments for schools, academy trusts and dioceses since 2013. We recruit CEOs, Executive Headteachers, Headteachers and senior school and trust leaders, and we work only in education. We also recruit to all of these roles when you are looking for interim support too.

Appointing a senior leader doesn’t happen often, and the stakes are high. We run the whole process for you. We search proactively for leaders who aren’t looking at job adverts, manage vetting, referencing and background checks before you interview, and keep the process fair, consistent and defensible. Our fixed fee comes with a guaranteed outcome, so in the unlikely event a search needs to be rerun, there is nothing more to pay.

Equally, if you are moving into your next senior role it is a big decision, and it’s hard to plan while working a demanding job. We talk through your experience, your options and your next step confidentially, and talk to you about roles that fit before they’re widely advertised.

Please do get in contact with us to discuss your education recruitment needs.

Why Academicis?

Intelligent Approach

Traditional advertising reaches only the 15% of eligible candidates who are actively looking. Exceptional candidates are usually in post and thriving. Our search process finds them, approaches them discreetly, and nurtures them through the process.

Expertise

For lots of governors and Trusts, a senior appointment happens once in a blue moon. For us, it’s daily business. Over more than ten years, we have made over 1,300 successful appointments.

Specialisation

We work exclusively in education, from Dioceses to Trusts, village primaries to inner-city all-through schools, SEND provision to university colleges. We understand the nuance of each setting, and we know where to find leaders with the right experience and the right ethos.

Robust and safe

Our experienced delivery team completes vetting, reputational analysis and background checks before you interview anyone. The process is consistent, transparent and defensible, so your decision stands up to scrutiny and earns the confidence of your community.

Fixed fee and guaranteed outcome

One inclusive fee covers the whole process, with no surprises. 99.3% of our appointments succeed first time. In the rare event one doesn’t, we rerun the search at no further cost. We guarantee to find your leader.
