PRESS RELEASE
Award-Winning Staffing Company Launches New Education Division to Service K-12 Schools
NORWALK, CT | March 26, 2025
Onward Search, a leading staffing and talent solutions provider, has announced the launch of Onward Search Education, a new division dedicated to connecting school-based professionals with K-12 districts across the country.
The team’s focus is to foster educational environments by supplying schools with special education teachers, psychologists, nurses, and other essential staff. Like its accomplished parent company, Onward Search Education finds and fills contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire openings. The organization also shares Onward Search’s experienced leadership team, extensive recruitment infrastructure, and advanced technologies.
Kirsten Erwin will lead the new division as Vice President of Education. In her newly announced role, she will be responsible for the organization’s strategic growth, delivery operations, and supporting school districts as well as their staff. Erwin brings 20+ years of recruitment management experience with a specialized focus and deep background in the education industry.
“School administrations need to worry about their students, not their staffing,” explained Erwin. “But every district needs a strong faculty to function, educate, and empower their children. From teachers to support staff, every role matters. I’m proud to be a part of an organization committed to the success of all education staff, schools, and students alike.”
Ken Clark, CEO of Onward Search, added, “The launch of Onward Search Education is a critical step forward, as our company leverages the successful infrastructure we’ve built to expand into new markets. This new division will support schools and education professionals with the same dedication we’ve devoted to all our clients and candidates since 2007.”
Onward Search is both coming off an award-winning year and entering another one. As of the start of 2025, the company Onward Search was recognized at Candidate.ly’s World Staffing Awards and ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Awards for four consecutive years. It has also previously been named as a top employer by Forbes, Hearst Media, Comparably, InHerSight, and UpCity.
