About us:
At Zen were changing how schools find the staff needed for kids to thrive. There is a severe shortage of teachers and the support staff needed to support all children accelerated by the pandemic. Millions of students experience understaffed classrooms and specialist programs. Schools looking to fill these roles with traditional agencies spend billions of dollars in high agency markups which further hampers budgets and leads to more problems down the line.
Thats why weve developed an alternative solution. Our online platform provides schools instant access to hundreds of fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since our inception in 2017 weve saved schools over $30 million globally reinvesting that money back into school budgets and increasing teachers pay.
