HARKE Recruitment

HARKE Recruitment is a privately owned education recruitment agency that places teachers and teacher aides in Australian schools. It works on permanent and fixed-term positions, including primary and secondary teaching roles, and the successful candidate is hired directly by the school.

Its clients are mainly independent and Catholic schools. Its candidates are Australian and internationally trained teachers who have the right to work in Australia. The company says it offers opportunities in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory, and that it recruits across Australia and internationally. It uses a job and skill matching system designed for the education sector.

HARKE is based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and describes itself as a small team. Candidates use the service free of charge, and schools pay only if they hire through the agency.
