Your talent strategy partner for K-12.

Data-informed talent strategy, built alongside district leadership. We work with CHROs as co-developers — not consultants who deliver reports, but partners who build capacity that lasts.

80% of your budget goes to people. Where's the strategy behind those decisions?

The Challenge

Most districts have sophisticated student data systems — but make talent decisions without a coherent strategy. 16% annual turnover nationally. 22% in urban districts. 73% of CHRO time spent on administrative tasks. Recruitment alone can't keep pace with turnover.

The Approach

K12 Talent Partners works alongside your leadership team to build a talent strategy that connects every decision to student outcomes. We bring the data expertise. You bring the institutional knowledge. Together, we build something that lasts.

Six ways to work together.
