If you have had disappointing experiences with education recruitment agencies in the past, you may be skeptical about joining us. At Academics we provide a human experience to supply. We consider ourselves to be the best. Here are some recent comments shared in our Google reviews from staff just like you:

"I\'ve previously worked for teaching agencies that didn\'t really look after their employees. Academics are an excellent/professional agency that really value their employees. I was given work immediately, paid on time, checked up on and given work locally to my location. I can\'t recommend this agency enough. Even post working there I was checked up on by Luke. Very attentive and down to earth."
