From Enquiry to Placement: How HARKE Supports Every Step
Lauren H • June 25, 2025

Discover how HARKE Recruitment guides educators through a personalised, transparent, and empowering recruitment journey - from first contact to your first day. 

Finding the right teaching role isn’t just about sending out CVs - it’s about connection, clarity, and confidence. At HARKE Recruitment, we understand that every teacher’s journey is different. That’s why we’ve built a process that supports educators from first enquiry all the way to placement (and beyond). 


Whether you're an early-career teacher or a seasoned professional looking for change, here's what the HARKE experience looks like - every step of the way. 


 

Step 1: Getting to Know You 


It starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand your experience, career goals, teaching preferences, and location interests across NSW, VIC, QLD and NT. 


Whether you’re looking for a permanent position, a fixed-term contract, or open to regional opportunities, we tailor our approach to suit your aspirations. 

 


Step 2: Reviewing Your Application Documents 


We’ll guide you through preparing a CV and cover letter that speaks to what principals are actually looking for. Our team provides practical feedback and resources to help you highlight your strengths - clearly and professionally.

Step 3: Matching You With the Right School 


Once we understand what you’re looking for, our consultants actively match you with roles in schools that align with your values, skills, and experience. 


We work closely with Independent, Catholic, and Government schools - from metropolitan hubs to regional communities - so you get real options, not just listings. 



Step 4: Interview Support & School Insights 


Before your interview, we’ll walk you through what to expect - from common questions to the culture and priorities of the school. You’ll enter the conversation prepared and confident, with a clearer sense of how you can add value. 



Step 5: Placement and Beyond 


Once the offer is confirmed, we don’t disappear. We support you with onboarding tips, relocation guidance (if applicable), and check in after you start. Our goal is to help you not just land a role - but thrive in it.
