SH Recruitment

SH Recruitment provides Executive Search and Headhunting across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, working with the Australian education and training industry. The business was founded in 2019 by Steve Hineman, a qualified primary school teacher with two decades of experience in HR and recruitment working predominantly in education recruitment, and it recruits senior executive level education candidates.

• Search covers all sectors of the education and training industry, including the independent schools sector, early learning and care, government organisations focused on health and education, Melbourne universities, and community recreation and sporting organisations.
• Appointments span the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, and the methodology has a 98 percent success rate.
• The process runs from candidate sourcing through executive search, interviewing and applicant tracking, so one consultant carries the appointment end to end.
• Flexible terms of business are tailored to the needs of each client rather than fixed to a single engagement model.

Best for: school boards and education providers appointing senior leaders who want a recruiter with classroom and sector experience.

SH Recruitment conducts Employee Reference Checks for education employers across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland as part of its executive search process.

• Checks are conducted face to face rather than by telephone, which encourages deeper and more open discussion with the referee.
• Reference checking sits inside the wider search process, alongside candidate sourcing, interviewing and applicant tracking.
• The process is applied to senior executive level education candidates in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

Best for: education employers who want reference checks handled in person as part of a senior appointment.
