We're a boutique recruitment firm built for the hires that don't fit a generalist's playbook. We place educators with real expertise in neurodiversity and student support.
From people who've sat in your chair.
The Hires That Are Hardest to Close
Learning specialists, school counselors, and executive function coaches sit at the intersection of clinical skill, classroom instinct, and deep neurodiversity understanding. Credentials alone don't predict fit, and a long list of generic resumes doesn't help. That's why these searches sit open for months.
Roles We Specialize In
i.
Educators trained to work with students who learn differently across reading, math, writing, and language-based needs. We screen for both diagnostic skill and the kind of relational instinct that builds confidence in a struggling learner.
ii.
Counselors who understand child to adolescent mental health in a school context, not just clinical practice. Our candidates know how to partner with families, faculty, and division heads, and how to navigate the realities of independent and mainstream schools.
iii.
Coaches who go beyond planners and timers. Practitioners who can teach students how to manage time, attention, and self-direction in ways that stick. A growing role, and one of the hardest to staff with someone genuinely effective.
Beyond Our Specialties
Each placed with educators and leaders who bring real experience working with students who learn differently.
Why Magister
Our entire focus is placing educators whose expertise in neurodiversity goes beyond credentials to genuine understanding. It's the kind of fit that reshapes a student's trajectory.
Magister was built by people who have run learning support programs and made these hires themselves. We know what a good candidate looks like in practice, not just on paper.
We don't blast job boards. We maintain a curated network of candidates we already know, which is why our shortlists arrive faster, and why our placements stay.
We take on a deliberate number of searches at a time. You get a single point of contact, an honest read on the market, and the kind of follow-through generalist agencies can't offer.
How It Works
Three steps, no long onboarding, no surprise fees. Most clients have a shortlist within two to three weeks of our first conversation.
01
A 30-minute call to understand your school, the position, and what a great fit actually looks like for your community.
02
We tap our specialist network and present a tight list of candidates we genuinely believe in, typically within two to three weeks.
03
You move directly to interviews with pre-vetted candidates. We stay in the loop, support the close, and don't disappear after the placement.
