The Contingency Model

Zero risk. Zero upfront cost.

Eduplace works on a contingency basis. There is no retainer, no upfront fee, and no obligation until you make a hire. We invest our time because we are confident in the quality of our candidates.

No Upfront Cost

There is no retainer, no search fee, and no commitment required to start. We begin sourcing the moment you submit a vacancy.

Pay on Successful Placement

You are only invoiced once you have made a hire. If you do not appoint from our shortlist, you owe nothing.

60-Day Replacement Guarantee

If a placed candidate leaves within the first 60 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Your hire is protected.

We Handle All Sourcing & Vetting

From CV screening to Loom video interviews, recruiter interviews, and reference checks — you only see candidates who are ready.

The Eduplace Standard

Not every teacher. Not every school. Not every vacancy.

“If our children attended this school, would we want this teacher teaching them?”
If the answer isn’t yes, we don’t make the placement.

01 · The teacher test

People, not CVs.

i.Experience and qualifications, read properly, not keyword-matched.
ii.Personality, teaching philosophy and what they’ll bring to a staffroom.
iii.Loom interview, recruiter interview and references before any school sees them.

Not everyone gets in.

Both must pass

02 · The school test

Vetted, not just listed.

i.Leadership, working environment and what’s expected of staff.
ii.Reputation and location. Would we send our own families there?
iii.The package on offer. Not just the salary line, the whole of it.

Not our families’ school? We pass.

We don’t accept low offers.

South African teachers are highly qualified professionals and their packages should reflect that. Salary, housing, flights, medical, tuition and development all count. Not to be difficult. To protect the people who trust us.

Fall well short? We decline the vacancy.

Schools we’d trust with our families. Teachers we’d put in front of our own children. Packages that respect both.
