JOSH IS THE SEARCH PARTNER WITH THE NETWORK, THE DATA, AND THE SCHOOL-BASED LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

In any partnership, I bring a 13,000 person subscriber network, 43 months of analyzing salary and posting trends for 48,000 jobs in K12 leadership, and 9+ years as a CAO, COO, and Chief of Staff in charter schools and districts. I know the leaders, I know the hiring patterns, and I have been in the roles you’re hiring for at your organization.

What Partners Say…

“We worked with Josh to fill a critical role and had a great experience. Josh's search was thoughtful, efficient, and resulted in a pool of quality candidates and allowed us to make a high-quality hire who fit both our needs and culture. I highly recommend his services to any organization looking to strengthen their team.” - Brent Bushey, CEO of Fuel OKC

“We recently engaged Josh’s K-12 Jobs to manage a search for a c-suite level position for STEM Preparatory Academy in Nashville. From the onset, it was evident that Josh not only understood what was needed for this key role given his personal charter school leadership experience, but he had all of the resources to make it happen. His razor sharp focus, impressive organizational skills, strategic mindset, and powerful industry network were all invaluable and incredibly beneficial for us. I highly and unreservedly recommend his services. ” - Demetrius Greer, CEO of STEM Preparatory Academy

“The only quality matching Josh’s nationwide recruiting network is the precision of his selection process, and the only thing more impressive is the subtlety of his judgment about people’s match to opportunities. Strong recommendation for him from a very unique school that was happy to be wrong in wondering whether someone outside could understand and represent us.” - Bob Nardo, Founder and Executive Director of Libertas School of Memphis
