Pineapple Recruitment launches education division to support schools and colleges

Pineapple Recruitment has launched a dedicated education division to support schools and colleges with recruitment, expanding its sector coverage as demand for specialist talent continues to grow.

The Worcestershire-based firm, which currently supplies professionals and support staff across hospitality, catering, finance and HR, said the new division will focus on placing high-calibre candidates across a range of roles, including headteachers, teaching staff, administration and support positions, as well as business and library roles.

The division will cover full-time, part-time and fixed-term positions, working with both state and independent schools, as well as colleges.

The launch is supported by the appointment of Emma Wilson as business development manager, who will lead the new department.

Wilson has a network of education specialists and previous sector experience, which will support clients in navigating regulatory and compliance requirements.

Kasia Krieger, director at Pineapple Recruitment, said: “Our new Education division provides dedicated and tailored recruitment service to both schools, colleges and candidates.

“Using our many years of experience in the industry, it pulls together a talented team under one banner and provides one solution for those not only looking for education roles, but also for schools and colleges looking to address the skills gaps or recruit senior level leaders.

“Schools and colleges don’t have time to source candidates and therefore we feel it’s a much-needed service which also has perfect synergies with the work we do supplying catering staff for schools.
