Navigating the job market as an educator or support staff can be challenging. ClassCover’s Headhunter feature is designed to simplify this process, directly connecting you with schools that are looking for your specific skills and qualifications.
What is Headhunter?
Headhunter is a proactive recruitment tool available on ClassCover Jobs that helps schools and businesses who hire casuals find and reach out to ideal candidates for teaching positions. Unlike traditional job applications, Headhunter allows schools to view your profile and extend invitations to apply for open roles that match your qualifications and teaching preferences.
How Does Headhunter Benefit You?
Targeted Opportunities: Receive job invitations that are aligned with your expertise and career goals.
Increased Visibility: Your profile gets higher exposure to potential employers looking for someone with your credentials.
Streamlined Process: Simplifies your job search by bringing opportunities directly to you, reducing the time spent searching through listings.
Getting Started with Headhunter
To make the most out of Headhunter, ensure your ClassCover profile is comprehensive and up-to-date by optimising your profile:
Update Your Short Bio: This is a field that can be seen by recruiting schools and education businesses so make sure its current and succinct.
List Your Qualifications: Make sure all your teaching qualifications, certifications, and specialisations are clearly listed.
Specify Your Preferences: Clearly indicate your preferred teaching levels, subjects, and whether you are interested in full-time, part-time, or casual roles through your job alert.
Receiving Invitations
When a school uses Headhunter to find candidates, they will review profiles that match the criteria for their open roles. If your profile fits, you’ll receive an invitation directly in your ClassCover inbox. You can review the job details and choose to accept the invitation to apply.
Privacy and Visibility in Headhunter
In Headhunter, your privacy is paramount. We understand the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information. Therefore, certain details are restricted from being visible to schools and businesses in the Headhunter search results and profile pop-ups.

Opting Out of Headhunter
