ABOUT JOE
I’m Joe Burns. I’ve spent five years recruiting teachers and lecturers for schools and colleges across the country. I’m proud to say I have been involved in over 250 successful placements.
Not many people know this, but before recruitment, I was a cyclist. I was a three-time national champion who raced for Team GB.
Racing teaches you that the detail decides the result. Recruitment’s no different.

TEACHING RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Growing up around schools
My mum is a teacher, so I grew up around schools and the people who work in them. I know what a good teacher is worth to a school, and what it costs when the wrong one arrives.
“No child’s education should be the price of a recruiter chasing a quick fee.”
JOE BURNS, FOUNDER
Too much of education recruitment is a numbers game: fling enough CVs and hope someone sticks. I’ve never worked that way. I ask what a school or college actually needs, and I only send candidates I’d put my own name to.
THE NAME
Why Edward Burns?
Edward is a name which has been in the Burns family for around two hundred years, and pairing it with Burns felt right: a family name for a business that carries my personal reputation.
