Why schools work with Slate

Permanent hiring that's actually simple

One point of contact

Stop juggling five different agency reps and a stack of one-off contracts. You work with Slate. Slate manages the agencies.

Vetted agency panel

Every agency that submits candidates to your school has been screened and approved. You only see résumés from people who can actually staff your campus.

Simplified process

Post a role once. We distribute it to the right agencies. You review qualified candidates in one dashboard and we handle the billing on the back end.

How Slate works

From open role to permanent hire — in one place

You raise a role with Slate. Vetted agencies submit candidates through the platform. You interview and hire the one that fits.

Tell us the role

Share the role, the grade band or department, and what makes a great fit at your campus. It takes about 90 seconds.

Review vetted candidates

Slate distributes the role to a vetted panel of recruiting agencies. You see qualified, screened candidates in one place — not in a flooded inbox.

Hire with a 3-week replacement policy

Pick the candidate that fits. The fee is due on their start date. If they leave or don't work out within the first three weeks, Slate replaces them at no additional charge.

Pricing for schools

Simple, success-based pricing

Built by recruiters

Developed by a team that's been on your side of the table

Slate was developed by a recruiting team with years of experience working with schools across the country. We're based in New Orleans and we built Slate because we saw firsthand how scattered and expensive permanent hiring had become for schools — multiple agencies, no central process, and no accountability when a hire didn't stick.
