Teacher recruitment support across Ireland

Connecting schools and teachers across Ireland

EdRecruitment.ie is a recruitment support service that helps school leaders access registered teachers for a range of posts, while supporting primary and post-primary teachers in finding suitable opportunities and strengthening their applications.

Please note: We especially invite applications from retired or registered teachers who may be available for short-term substitution. All teachers must still formally apply to posts in accordance with Department of Education recruitment procedures.

About

About EdRecruitment.ie

EdRecruitment.ie was set up as a remedy for the ongoing challenges faced by school leaders across the country in filling teaching posts. The service aims to help leverage the Irish teachers available to fill as many void posts as possible.

Our mission

To bridge the gap between Irish schools and registered teachers by offering dependable, education-informed recruitment support, especially when posts need to be filled quickly or when schools are looking beyond their immediate networks.

  • Schools spend less time chasing cover and more time leading learning
  • Teachers find roles that genuinely match their qualifications and availability
  • Registered but non-practicing teachers stay connected to the classroom

How we work

EdRecruitment.ie is a support service, not an agency. Schools remain in control of their own recruitment and all appointments follow Department of Education procedures. We simply help surface the right people faster.

  • Registered teachers share their profile and availability with us
  • Schools send us the details of the post they need to fill
  • We identify and introduce candidates whose profile fits the role
  • Schools interview and appoint through their own standard process

Who we serve

  • Primary and post-primary schools across Ireland
  • Principals and deputy principals under time pressure
  • Newly qualified teachers looking for their first post
  • Experienced teachers seeking permanent or fixed-term roles
  • Retired or semi-retired teachers open to short-term substitution

What makes us different

  • Founded by people with direct experience of Irish education
  • Focused exclusively on teacher recruitment, no other verticals
  • Free for teachers to register
  • Responsive when staffing needs arise mid-year
  • Straightforward process, no long-term commitments for schools
