Paige
Hey there, I'm Paige, co-founder of HARKE Recruitment.
With almost a decade in education recruitment, I've seen firsthand the profound impact our work can have on people's lives and communities. What really lights me up about education recruitment is the chance to make a difference in students' futures and the broader community by connecting Educators with Schools.
At HARKE, our motto is 'Leaving our Mark on Tomorrow,' and I take that to heart. I genuinely love the connections we make daily and the stories we get to be a part of. They inspire me to bring my A-game every single day.

With countless years of experience in education recruitment across both the UK and Australia, my passion for this sector stems from my belief in the pivotal role education plays in shaping the world. Although I'm not directly involved in teaching, I take great satisfaction in knowing that I'm contributing to a positive impact in this space.

Jasmine
Hi, I’m Jasmine, a dedicated Queensland and Northern Territory recruiter here at HARKE Recruitment.
As a recruiter, I’m passionate about connecting exceptional educators with opportunities where they can thrive and truly make a difference. Having recently graduated with a Bachelor of Business majoring in Human Resources and a Bachelor of Psychology, I bring a unique perspective to supporting candidates and understanding their individual needs.
The most rewarding part of my role is hearing from candidates after they’ve secured their dream job. There’s nothing quite like knowing I’ve played a part in helping them step into a role where they’re excited to inspire and work with students.
I’m dedicated to making the recruitment process smooth, supportive, and tailored to each candidate’s journey. Whether it’s your first step into education or the next big move in your career, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.
Nicole
Hi! I'm Nicole, and I'm an onboarding specialist.
With over 4 years of experience working with fast-growing start-ups, I've found my passion in building meaningful connections and helping people through their career journey. Starting something new is exciting but can be challenging, and I'm here to make sure that you get all the support that you need through the onboarding process.
What brings me the most joy is helping individuals discover opportunities where they can truly shine—leveraging their strengths and doing what they love.
Working closely with teachers has given me a strong understanding of the vital role that the right people play in the classroom. The impact a great teacher can have on students is significant, and being part of that process is something I find incredibly meaningful.
