Every school district, every student, can be served by high-quality talent
Find out how California Schools Talent Collaborative uses best-in-class staffing practices for K-12 education to hire a high-volume of staff or hard-to-fill positions.
What We’re About
California Schools Talent Collaborative is an innovative approach to addressing staffing shortages. The initial concept was developed following the launch of California’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) in 2021, which provides $4 billion in new education funding and creates upwards of 150,000 new jobs serving students. While its initial focus is on meeting the demand for quality expanded learning and school intervention program staff, California Schools Talent Collaborative is also developing the capabilities to provide talent solutions for classified and certificated positions.
California Schools Talent Collaborative helps districts:
- Augment internal recruitment and hiring efforts by leveraging technology and expert know-how
- Lower hiring costs through economies of scale and operating efficiencies
- Attract quality talent at scale through strategic partnerships with colleges, universities, AARP, workforce development boards and other groups
- Support community partners in meeting their talent needs
Contract Staffing
Staff on our payroll, managed by your site supervisors. We recruit, screen, train, and cover call-outs, so your program runs full without adding headcount.
Best for: high-turnover positions where you want a turnkey solution.
Sub Coverage
Fast, reliable substitutes when call-outs, leaves, and resignations open holes in your classified positions — for your staff and your community partners’ staff.
Best for: districts losing program hours to absences.
Temp-to-Hire
Candidates start on our payroll and convert to yours in about three months. See them work before you hire, and stop losing finalists to other offers mid-process.
Best for: filling seats now while building district capacity for the long run.
