If you want to stand out, do something worth standing out for.

Most grad teachers walk into panels with the same generic answers. Same theory. Same "I would..." responses. Same nothing that panels remember.

The ones who get offered roles... well... they come prepared with real stories, school-specific knowledge, and a clear sense of who they are as a teacher.

We've placed hundreds of grad teachers. This is built on what we hear directly from school leaders - not advice, intel.

Swipe if you have a Term 3 panel coming up.

DM us INTERVIEW and we'll help you prepare.

One of our founders, Paige, is one of the most competitive people you'll meet. So why did she build HARKE on the opposite instinct?

Because she'd seen what happens when recruiters work alone.

At every agency she'd worked at before, the model was the same. Each consultant for themselves. Compete for the brief. Race to the placement. Hoard the network.

So, she built HARKE the opposite way.

Her belief: you only get so far alone, you'll achieve far more by leaning into your team. So at HARKE, consultants back each other in obsessively. Warm candidates get shared. Calendars get lined up. Blind spots get covered. Fast, without ever dropping quality.
For the schools we work with, that ripples out as:

→ A shortlist in days, not weeks
→ The right teacher, not just the available one
→ One point of contact taking the admin off your plate, end to end

It's not a value on a wall. It's how HARKE operates every day.

This week, Paige answers three things every school leader should know about hiring right now. Swipe through 👇

"Don't wait until you desperately need a reference to remember your old Deputy Principal exists." 😂

That's Nicole our Senior Compliance Consultant at HARKE and the person making sure teachers are actually ready to move when the right role comes up.

She's the one tracking down referees who retired three schools ago, guiding overseas-trained teachers through systems they've never touched before, and yes... doing a quiet little compliance chef's kiss 🤌 every time everything lines up perfectly with no last-minute chaos.

Her take on compliance? "It's so much more than admin. The boring forms are actually what make the smooth, exciting part possible."

Her biggest tip for every teacher reading this: get your referees locked in before you need them. Think Principals, DPs, HoDs - senior people who can speak to who you are in a classroom. Keep those relationships warm. Future you will be so grateful.

Today's reminder that sometimes the algorithm knows before you do. 👀

If you've been thinking about a new chapter for Term 3, this English & Humanities opportunity in Melbourne's west might be worth a closer look.

Or send it to the teacher in your department who has quietly mentioned "seeing what's out there".

A maths teacher in New Zealand applied to HARKE in early April.

We didn't speak to him that week. We didn't speak him the next week either. 👀

We booked his call for the moment Term 3 hiring goes live - when schools start moving on the teachers they need for the back half of the year. A quick Q&A in between to confirm the details we had we right was right and the rest, scheduled for optimal time. This is because we care about people's time and understand teachers have very little 'spare' in the day.

The call took place exactly as planned, the day after he landed in Melbourne and right when schools were ready to hire for Term 3. We briefed five schools within 24 hrs who we knew were short a maths teacher for Term 3. One interview. One offer. Thirteen days from screen to signed contract.

The thing most people miss about teacher recruitment is timing. Most schools don't know their Term 3 needs at the start of April, but they definitely have a clearer picture in mid-May, once the calendar firms up and the gaps become real. Calling a candidate before the schools are ready helps no one.

So we wait until the timing is right. Then we move fast.

If you're a teacher planning your next Australian term - or a school planning the one ahead - talk to us. We'll time it right. We'll do the work.
