Our Clients
Gifted partners directly with local and regional school districts, individual public schools and private institutions to attract, interview, screen and place staff.
Our Approach
Led by Suzanne Masino, an Occupational Therapist since 1994, our dedicated team prioritizes quality, compassion and communication. We understand and respect what it takes to educate today’s youth, so we tailor our support.
We consider school-district size, geographic location and unique staffing needs to provide experienced and caring staff whenever our clients need them most. Our recruitment process is fast, flexible and tailored for each unique assignment.
By doing our job of recruiting talented professionals, we allow teachers and administrators to focus on doing their primary job. We recruit nationwide for part- and full-time positions, as well as short- and long-term placements.
Delivering For Our Clients
In August 2022, when a large Midwestern school district faced a severe staffing shortage just days before the start of school, we were just a phone call away. After assessing their needs and getting to work, we delivered quality candidates within 48 hours.
For this client, we’ve seen an 83% candidate acceptance rate versus the industry standard of 33%.
Other results across our clients include:
- a 93% overall candidate satisfaction rate
- 80% of our candidates’ assignments are extended
- a 4.8 out of 5 rating for our recruiters (based on reviews by school-based professionals)
We are committed to helping schools by achieving industry-leading metrics — including retention and satisfaction — but our greatest joy is knowing that we are ultimately helping students get the special services they need.
