Who We Are

RecruitHer is an EdTech talent strategy consultancy focused on two things.

First, helping EdTech companies build diverse teams that think smarter and perform better.

Second, bringing more awareness to the simple truth that EdTech products must be pedagogically sound if they want to survive, scale and actually help learners.

The education sector is diverse and complex. The teams building EdTech should reflect that. When they do, companies see stronger innovation, better decisions, and products that connect with the people who use them. This is backed by research from Harvard Business Review, McKinsey, Deloitte and every founder who has learned the hard way that homogenous teams miss critical insights.RecruitHer exists to close that gap.We place candidates with real sector experience. People who understand pedagogy, learning theory and the messy realities inside schools, MATs and universities. Former educators. Implementation leads who trained teachers. Product people who know the difference between a feature and something that actually shifts learning outcomes. Customer success managers who understand why adoption fails when pedagogy is ignored.We also help companies hire directly from their own customer base.

This approach has produced some of the strongest performers in the sector. They understand learners, teachers and admin teams far better than any traditional tech hire. They bring empathy and lived experience that drive better product decisions and deeper impact.


Our Approach

Diversity as a growth engine
Diverse teams outperform. They spot blind spots, challenge assumptions and build products that actually work for real users.

Pedagogy at the core

EdTech is only effective when it is rooted in learning science. We help companies hire people who understand teaching, behaviour, cognitive load, curriculum design and how learning really happens.

Sector first
Everything we do begins with deep understanding of the education ecosystem. The policies, the pressures, the buyers, the classroom realities.

Customer to employee hiring
Some of your best future team members are already using your product. We help you find them.

Long term sustainable hiring
We look for people who stay, grow and contribute to long term impact, not just short term output.


Our Sustainability Framework

1. Social sustainability
We support fair, inclusive hiring. More women. More underrepresented talent. More voices that reflect the classrooms your product serves.

2. Economic sustainability
Sustainable teams last longer. Hiring people with sector experience improves ramp time, reduces churn and leads to stronger product decision making.

3. Environmental sustainability
We operate with a small footprint using remote first systems, digital processes and efficient interview frameworks.

Why It Matters
EdTech changes nothing without people who understand learning.
Diverse teams and pedagogically grounded thinking are the real competitive advantages.If you want to build products that learners love and teams that reflect the sector you serve, you are in the right place.

Why hiring drags in EdTech and how to stop losing weeks

EdTech hiring rarely slows down because of the market. It slows down because hiring managers know exactly what they need while in house recruiters search for generalist CVs. The mismatch pushes managers to take over the process, costing around forty hours of lost time per hire. Add vague job ads, fluffy job descriptions, slow interview cycles and unclear salary ranges and momentum disappears.
