FAQ

What types of roles do you find coverage for?

We work with all types of schools to help find Teachers, Teachers Assistants, Teachers Aides, and Paraprofessionals for short-term and long-term cover. We also help to fill permanent vacancies across these roles.

What happens if I want to permanently hire a Zen Educate teacher?

We strongly believe that when there is a good fit, there should be no barriers to hiring a great educator. Instead of the hefty “temp-to-perm” recruitment agencies charge, we have a small transparent flat fee that is reduced by the number of days a teacher has already worked for your school. The fee varies by city, please check with your account manager for specific details.

What is the difference between Zen Educate and a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform that connects teachers with schools directly. Zen Educate uses technology to create an online booking experience that truly supports schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost. Our industry leading software enables us to move ahead of the traditional agency model, saving our clients both time and money.

How do you match teachers with schools?

Our platform uses technology to match teachers with schools based on their availability, distance and skills required to get the most qualified candidate for the school’s requirement. Schools are then able to contact and book those teachers directly on the platform. Our support team is on hand to ensure your profile is attracting the best possible matches for you.
