Senior Leadership Recruitment Specialists
Senior Leadership Recruitment
As senior leadership recruitment specialists, the Academicis approach is one of close, consultative partnership with the Governing Bodies, Local Authorities, School Improvement Partners (SIPs), Church Dioceses and Independent School Boards.
For this reason, we place great emphasis on keeping the School and candidates informed throughout the recruitment process, to ensure momentum, continuity and complete transparency.
Recognising the often sensitive aspects of the work we do, each of our assignments is specifically tailored to the unique culture and character of the School.
Our Approach

We Are Only as Good as Our Candidates
At Academicis we recognise the ever morphing role of Executive Heads, Headteachers and Principals.
As a result, traditional methods of Headteacher recruitment are no longer sufficient to attract the best candidates. Recruitment campaigns that follow the traditional advertising approach often yield poor response levels and low numbers of high calibre candidates. In some cases, a second, third or even fourth round of recruitment is needed, soaking up valuable time and budget that could be better used elsewhere.
