Selection Search was founded in March 2006 by a team with deep experience in the education sector.
We were created to bring clarity and rigour to hiring decisions that carry real consequences for institutions, for professionals, and for the students they serve. Education hiring is not just about filling a vacancy it shapes leadership, culture and outcomes for years to come. That belief continues to guide our work.
Over time, we have grown into a trusted partner to schools and education organisations across the country, supporting leadership, teaching and specialist appointments where fit and integrity matter as much as experience.
"The search for two senior management team members culminated in the appointment of our very dynamic Principal and extremely committed Vice- principal. Being highly reputed and focused in the field of education gives her an edge. Thus she has access to a high quality database and candidates.
Her meticulous selection brought forward an impressive short list from the best known schools in the country. Her careful reference checking made the selection thorough.
