I have not experienced any downsides of working here.Professional and supportive work environment I am working with EdTheory as a Speech Language Pathologist, Clinical Fellow.I have received a lot of support from the clinical supervisor provided by EdTheory guiding and providing me with clinical resources during my Clinical Fellowship Year. In addition, EdTheory has provided me with Clinical Tools to function optimally in my work environment. I had an awesome training focused on managing the school caseload which provided tips to efficiently manage the school caseload. These trainings have definitely boosted my clinical knowledge.I have always received efficient and quick responses from the staff, HR, and team members at EdTheory to my queries. Overall, I feel great to be a part of a professional and supportive team at EdTheory.

Offers accurate guidance and full support EDtheory team offered accurate guidance and full support, right from the start. I came to know about the company via their Project Hope program and I instantly put it as my number one choice. And I could not have been more right. Even with some hiccups in my process for employment authorization, they gave comprehensive information and stayed patient. Right from the interview process, I felt valued and accurately guided. The team leaves no stone unturned in order to make a smooth transition for their employees, and I am in awe of thier work ethics.

Working with the children and seeing how much they improve.

Current Employee - Speech Language Pathologist 7/21/2020
Pros
EdTheory helped me get success in the interviews, as well as guiding me with the paperwork, being always warm and trying to respond to any question I might have efficiently and the best way they could.
I learnt many things about how to handle a job interview with their help and also specific courses related to my field of expertise.
Other important part is the clarity on which they give you information and orient the steps to get you where you want to go professionally

Current Employee - Clinical Fellow - Speech Language Pathology 7/20/2020
Pros
EdTheory is very transparent and accommodating. Management went out of their way to find me a site that fit exactly what I wanted (e.g. level of disability, age group, distance, etc.). They also made sure I was okay with the school district before officially assigning me that position; some contract companies will try and pressure CF’s into schools and responsibilities that they may not be comfortable with.
Cons
Less interaction with fellow SLPs (though this may depend on the district you are assigned to)."Great Company that Promotes Work Life Balance" I worked at EdTheory full-time for less than a year
Former Employee - Occupational Therapist 6/17/2020
Pros
I've worked with several contracting companies that serve school districts and EdTheory has by far been my favorite. My recruiter, Rahul, is absolutely wonderful to work with, and unlike other recruiter experiences I have had, he always has my best interest at heart. He is willing to work with me from day one to support my needs, including negotiating a very competitive pay rate for me. He's always prompt in communicating between me and the district, and in answering questions I have. Negotiating a contract with EdTheory was very easy and transparent. They have generous bonuses and allot a materials budget if you're in a district with limited resources. There's a lot of room to grow at EdTheory as they have contracts around the Bay area, and an international volunteer option. Of all of the companies that I've contracted with, EdTheory has the least amount of redundant paperwork and easiest HR system to navigate. Working with HR was always delightful. They were always willing to help and is exceedingly patient. Every staff person I have worked with at EdTheory is genuinely interested in supporting me and ensuring job satisfaction. The work-life balance and company culture set EdTheory apart. I highly recommend speaking with Rahul, or any of the friendly staff at EdTheory if you are interested in school-based work in the Bay area.
Cons

I didn't experience any cons with this company.Great Place to Work I've worked with several contracting companies that serve school districts and EdTheory has by far been my favorite.

Occupational Therapist 6/17/2020my manager/handler consistantly checks in to see that all is going smoothly My assignments as a Special Educ teacher have all been enjoyable and do-able. EdTheory has maximized my potential as a 27-year special educ teacher to place me in very satisfying temporary positions, accommodating my desire for less-than-full time work, considering I am retired from public school teaching and have other interests.
Special Education Teacher supplemental 5/07/2020"Great Company" I have been working at EdTheory full-time for more than a year
Current Employee - Speech Language Pathologist 4/20/2020
Pros
They are very friendly and want to make you feel at home. They were always available for questions and are very prompt in responding to emails/calls.
Cons
They can go a little overboard with communication at times (I would sometimes get calls from 3 different employees just checking in to see how things are going on a single day - this was relatively rare, but did happen a few times)."Amazing support and communication" I have been working at EdTheory part-time

Recruiter 3/24/2020"So very friendly, caring and easy to talk to their recruiters" I worked at EdTheory full-time for less than a year
Former Employee - Speech Language Pathologist 11/12/2019
Pros
I can feel that they care about me. They are transparent and honest. I ended up accepting a renewed position directly with my district during the summer. However, my communication with my recruiter was very positive. I will recommend anyone looking for a staffing company to consider EdTheory. I think their kindness and openess is refreshing. I was never afraid to be honest with them in return, and my overall... experience was highly enjoyable.
Cons

I don't have any at this momentInterview/First impressions The interview overall went really well. I interviewed with the CEO and the career specialist! They made me feel really comfortable and open during the interview. I really support the company’s mission statement and I feel that they do their upmost best in supporting their employees. They also make time to check in with their employees to make sure they are doing well and to answer any questions. They were very attentive during my training, they do their best to provide any information to ensure my success. I would recommend this company 100%

Career specialist and HR Coordinator 9/06/2019They pay a lot I have worked with around 2-3 other staffing agencies in the past. Nothing is really new to me, but EdTheory is pretty interesting because it feels like a personal experience. Their pay for travelers is very high, and I thought I would not have my current offer topped. Good combination of great pay, pretty good benefits, support, etc. I think they match 401k by a percentage after working a few years.
