Account Manager - Educational Services Division

This position is in-person. We encourage you to read all the way through before applying :)

Connected is a specialized staffing and recruiting company with expertise in both healthcare and educational services. We connect schools, districts, and healthcare organizations across the country with the skilled professionals they need most - whether on a travel, contract, or permanent basis. Since our founding in 2021, we've proudly partnered with hundreds of organizations, ranging from Fortune 500 hospital systems to local school districts, to solve critical staffing challenges.

Our top priority is to create a system that facilitates Job Satisfaction, Sustainable Income, Flexibility, and Growth for our team.

We partner with schools and educational organizations to hire passionate educators and support staff who can make a meaningful impact in the classroom and beyond.

Starting a new role is one of the biggest decisions in a person’s life. Our job is to align educators with the right opportunities, leading to long-term career satisfaction and student success.

This is a full-desk Account Manager role, meaning you will be responsible for business development, account management, and recruitment. You'll source and manage educational clients (i.e., school districts, charter networks, private schools, and other institutions), while also recruiting, screening, and placing qualified candidates.

Anticipate a dynamic, fulfilling role where you'll build and grow client relationships, connect skilled professionals with schools, and manage placements end-to-end. Your efforts will directly support improved student outcomes and help shape the future of education staffing.

• Business Development: Identify, prospect, and secure new educational clients, including school districts, charter networks, and private schools.
• Account Management: Build and maintain strong client relationships, ensuring ongoing satisfaction and repeat business.
• Recruitment: Source, screen, and place qualified educators and support staff into roles that meet client needs.
• Ensure compliance with educational staffing regulations and district/state requirements while fostering long-term partnerships.
• Negotiate contracts and service agreements with clients while overseeing the successful onboarding of educators.
• Collaborate with internal team members to align staffing solutions with both program needs and educator capabilities.

We provide a comprehensive training program that walks you through everything you need to know, step by step. You'll also have access to top-tier paid tools to help you work efficiently and effectively.

Staffing is a sales-driven, people-centered industry, so our most successful team members are personable, self-motivated, and eager to take initiative. We're especially looking for candidates who bring one or more of the following:

• Educational Services Staffing Experience - Prior experience working for a staffing or recruiting firm that partners with school districts, charter networks, or other educational institutions is strongly preferred.
• Client-Facing Relationship Skills - Comfortable managing school district or institutional accounts, handling objections, and negotiating agreements.
• Recruiting/Placement Knowledge - Familiar with the cycle of recruiting, screening, and placing educators, support staff, or related professionals.
• Mission-Driven Professionals - Passionate about improving educational outcomes through staffing solutions that put the right people in the right schools.

A Bachelor's degree is preferred but not required.

At Connected, we believe staffing is more than filling positions - it's about creating meaningful connections that change lives. In our Educational Services division, you'll run a full desk: building new client relationships, managing accounts, and directly recruiting the educators who will shape tomorrow’s classrooms.

Our education segment is expanding quickly, which means this is the perfect time to come aboard. You'll have the opportunity to make your mark in a high-growth division, help schools find the talent they need most, and grow alongside a team that values passion, hard work, and impact.

If you're ready to take ownership of the full staffing cycle, contribute to the success of schools and students, and be part of a fast-moving, mission-driven team - we'd love to hear from you.
