In the rapidly evolving landscape of education technology, innovation alone isn’t enough to drive success. Behind every effective digital learning platform, student engagement tool, or district-wide SaaS rollout is a team of passionate, skilled professionals who understand both education and the technology that powers it. But finding those professionals—especially those who blend classroom experience with tech-savvy insight—is no easy task.
That’s where Field Pros comes in.
As a specialized EdTech recruitment firm, FieldPros has built its reputation on connecting purpose-driven educators with forward-thinking companies. Their unique approach, industry expertise, and mission-driven focus make them more than just a hiring agency—they are a true bridge between two worlds that desperately need one another: education and innovation.
Understanding the Divide
Educators often bring a deep understanding of pedagogy, curriculum development, and classroom dynamics. Meanwhile, EdTech companies are working tirelessly to develop tools that support learning, improve outcomes, and modernize educational delivery. The challenge lies in translating educational insight into scalable tech products—and for that, companies need team members who can speak both languages.
But here’s the problem:
- Educators may not know how to transition into roles at EdTech companies.
- EdTech startups often struggle to identify candidates who can deeply empathize with the needs of schools and learners.
- Hiring managers may not fully understand the value an educator-turned-sales-rep, trainer, or product manager can bring.
This is the gap FieldPros was built to close.
A Dual-Perspective Approach
What sets FieldPros apart is its team’s insider knowledge of both education and recruitment. Many of their recruiters come from the education sector themselves, including former K-12 teachers, sales reps to the education market, and professionals with years of experience working in or alongside school systems.
This gives FieldPros a distinct advantage: they know what makes a great educator and what kind of educator can successfully transition into a business or technology role.
Whether it’s:
- Placing a former teacher into a client success manager position,
- Recruiting a curriculum specialist for a digital content platform, or
- Finding a VP of Sales with deep EdTech market insight—
FieldPros understands the context behind the job titles and how mission alignment plays into long-term success.
Matching Passion with Purpose
Today’s EdTech companies are not just looking for candidates who check boxes on a résumé. They need people who are driven by a shared mission—to improve education through innovation. Similarly, educators and education-minded professionals want roles where their skills and experiences are respected, and where their passion for learning can make an impact.
FieldPros’ process focuses heavily on this alignment.
Here’s how they do it:
- In-Depth Intake – They don’t just gather job descriptions; they work to understand a company’s culture, goals, mission, and ideal team dynamics.
- Candidate Storytelling – For each candidate, they focus on more than credentials. They communicate how an applicant’s real-world experience—like managing a classroom or leading curriculum innovation—translates to EdTech roles.
- Long-Term Fit Mindset – FieldPros isn’t about quick placements. Their vetting process includes behavioral interviews, value alignment checks, and detailed screenings to ensure that candidates not only can do the job—but want to stay and grow.
Supporting Career Transitions
One of the most unique ways FieldPros bridges this gap is by helping educators see new career paths. Many teachers, instructional designers, and administrators aren’t aware of how valuable their skillsets are outside the classroom.
FieldPros, a renowned education recruiting firm offers:
- Guidance and coaching to candidates interested in transitioning from education to EdTech
- Industry context that helps job seekers understand how to present their experience effectively
- Access to roles that align with their educational background, such as professional development trainers, implementation specialists, and customer success managers
By demystifying the job market and empowering educators with insight, FieldPros opens doors that many didn’t even know existed.
Impacting the Industry at Scale
With over 75 years of combined experience and more than 1,000 successful placements, FieldPros has helped shape teams across the EdTech industry—from fast-growing startups to enterprise-level solution providers. Their placements are found across:
- K-12 and Higher Education SaaS companies
- Learning management platforms
- Online curriculum and content providers
- EdTech hardware firms
- Corporate and workforce learning providers
This reach allows them to influence how education and technology merge—not just by filling jobs, but by building organizations with vision-aligned talent.
Why This Bridge Matters
The EdTech industry doesn’t just need tech people or salespeople—it needs people who understand learning. Without real-world educational experience, companies risk creating tools that don’t truly serve their users. By introducing passionate educators to companies ready to innovate, FieldPros ensures that technology in education stays grounded in purpose.
And on the other side, educators gain a chance to grow their careers, expand their impact beyond the classroom, and contribute to scalable solutions that improve learning outcomes on a larger scale.
Final Thoughts
Innovation in education isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. And in a time when both schools and EdTech companies are being asked to do more with less, having the right people on your team is everything.
FieldPros bridges the gap between passionate educators and innovative companies by doing what many recruiters can’t: combining deep industry knowledge, human-centered recruitment, and mission-first values.
If you’re a company building the future of learning—or an educator looking for your next career step—FieldPros isn’t just a recruiter. They’re your partner in purpose.
