About Principal

Principal Education was founded to bring genuine innovation to the education recruitment sector.

Whilst most recruitment agencies still operate much the same way they have for years, we've invested heavily in technology, structured processes and operational excellence that allow our consultants to perform at a higher level.

Just as Uber connects drivers and passengers through technology, our own platform creates a direct connection between schools and education professionals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The result is a faster, fairer and more efficient recruitment experience for both our candidates and our schools.

We're now entering our fifth year of trading and have grown into one of the UK's fastest-growing independent education recruitment agencies.

• We've won national industry awards, hold over
• 700 five-star reviews , recently achieved

APSCo Compliance+ Accreditation with an outstanding 99.38% score , and continue to invest heavily in both our people and our technology.

Technology alone doesn't build great recruitment businesses.

Great people do.

That's where you come in.
