“ATOMS was a fantastic resource in aiding my job search. If I had a question about the process for my interview ATOMS was there and willing to help. I found my dream job thanks to ATOMS!”

“ATOMS Placement Services played an integral role in my job search and hiring process. My placement agent was readily accessible when I needed him, and he made an effort to reach out to me often.”

“I was very impressed with the entire process. It felt as if they sent my portfolio to the perfect school. I was grateful for the initial phone call, and was impressed that ATOMS was so responsive to my somewhat restrictive requirements with respect to location. Thank you for helping me find my new home!”

“ATOMS was fantastic to work with. They listened to what I wanted, helped me think of various angles, and answered all my questions quickly.”

“Thank you so much for all of your help. I definitely felt like ATOMS listened to my needs, provided useful advice, and helped make sure I found a job I wanted. I really appreciate it!”

“Much more personalized experience than larger agencies I have used.”

“ATOMS did a great job of taking my materials and generating leads. The advice for my interview was also helpful.”

“ATOMS was instrumental in my job search. Their professionalism, expertise, and willingness to listen made the experience a pleasurable one. I wholeheartedly recommend ATOMS to anyone looking for a new teaching position. You will be treated with respect and dignity. Two thumbs up!”

“My experience with ATOMS was extremely positive both in the application process and placement result. The personal attention, effective advocacy, and overall knowledge of the agent with whom I worked, made me feel that ATOMS put my best interests first. The numerous, helpful conversations through phone and email during a difficult and time pressured negotiation gave me confidence to pursue my dreams. As a result, I am at an exceptional school in my best-fit position. Having worked with two other placement agencies, ATOMS was by far the most personal and effective. I would absolutely seek out this partnership again. Thank you!”

“Unlike the other job search agency I used previously, ATOMS listened to what I was looking for in a school and checked in with me about my process to make sure I had what I needed and was taking the right steps. The schools I visited respected ATOMS as a placement service, which gave me confidence that I was using a more targeted approach to find my ideal position and was not just one of a bunch of candidates given to each school. I strongly recommend ATOMS (and have already recommended them to colleagues) as a useful job search tool. I have found what I hope to be the ideal position at a school that will help me to grow as an educator and I owe much of that success to ATOMS. ”

“My experience working with ATOMS was absolutely perfect. They spent time up front getting to know me, gaining a real sense of what I was looking for and what my interests were. As a result, they did a great job of referring me only for positions that were actually a good fit. Beyond the well-curated referrals, they stayed in touch throughout my search and were a real resource. It was clear that they actually had relationships with the schools based on the insight and advice they passed along, right up to conversations around salary and benefits when it came time to sign my new contract. I would highly recommend ATOMS.”

“I had a great experience working with ATOMS. They took the time to get to know me and supported me in every step of the interview and hiring process. If I’m ever looking for a job again, I will make sure to get in touch with ATOMS first!”

“ATOMS takes an individual approach to the search process that works best for all involved. They do not offer schools the name of every candidate out there, but instead pare things down to those who offer the best fit. I trusted ATOMS enough to make them the only firm I worked with, and felt they were with me through the entire process. I couldn’t be happier with the position they found for me.”

“My experience with ATOMS was superb. From the very first email communication to phone calls to discussions of what types of positions and schools I was seeking to the final salary negotiation, I felt that ATOMS was an excellent sounding board and advocate for me. They handled all communications with deft professionalism and promptness. They were straightforward and honest with me because they had taken time to invest in not only getting to know me, but they had also clearly developed relationships with numerous schools. Most importantly, they were always on top of where I was in my search, anticipating phone and in-person interviews and inquiring how things were going. I strongly recommend ATOMS for anyone seriously seeking a STEM placement in an independent school.”

“I worked with ATOMS for an Upper School math/science position quite late in the hiring season. They scheduled a call with me immediately, and sent my resume to a potential school right away. Throughout the search process, they stayed involved and touched base with updates every step of the way, including interview coaching on the phone. I always felt like I was in very good hands because ATOMS showed both that they cared, and that they had the experience and knowledge to help me get the best position. I am thrilled with my new position and I owe it to ATOMS for placing me here.”

“From my first call with ATOMS, I felt like I’d made the best decision for my job search. They understood what I was looking for and found opportunities immediately. They were responsive throughout the entire process and answered all my questions. I doubt I would have found a school that feels like such a perfect fit without them. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“Using ATOMS for my job search was a great decision. They listened to my preferences and helped me narrow the field once the interviews began. ATOMS was very helpful during the entire process and gave some reassuring advice. ATOMS was easy to contact and quick to respond to messages. If I am ever in the job search process again, I will certainly be reaching out to them for help!”

“ATOMS was a great resource during my entire search. I appreciated the guidance beginning with creating my portfolio all the way through selecting the best school and position for me. ATOMS listened to all my requests and helped find great options as I completed my move to a new part of the state.”

“I was referred to ATOMS by a colleague of mine. When I reached out and talked to them, I knew they would be a wonderful organization to work with, as it was clear from the outset that they really know their field. ATOMS helped me acquire my most recent teaching position, and I could not be more thankful to Joe and his entire team for all their hard work and dedication. I would absolutely recommend their services to any of my colleagues and would use them again in a heartbeat if I happen to be searching for a position in the future.”

“ATOMS made the search process very easy and even fun. When searching on my own, the most difficult part is the introduction. With ATOMS, you don’t even have to do that part. Schools that ATOMS matched me with were already interested in learning more. ATOMS’ network of schools frees you to focus on writing good letters, planning good demo lessons, and interviewing successfully. I highly recommend ATOMS to any math or science teacher looking to find a position in an independent school.”

“My wife and I are thrilled with the experience we had with ATOMS. The team were in constant contact with us throughout the entire process. It was clear that their goal was to find a situation that met our specific needs, namely two positions at an elite school within a compact geographic region. While we were expecting this to be a multi-year affair, ATOMS helped us find the perfect match within six months. I cannot recommend ATOMS highly enough.”

“When beginning my search, a friend recommended ATOMS and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. When it came to reviewing offers (yes! Multiple offers!), I was so thankful when Joe called to talk through my options with me. I was never alone - from the moment we first talked on the phone until I signed my commitment letter, the whole team was there for me. I would recommend ATOMS to anyone really wanting a personalized approach to finding the perfect fit.”

“Working with ATOMS was such a blessing. Joe and his excellent team made the process so simple and stress free for me and my family. I was looking for jobs on my own and getting absolutely nowhere. I must have filled out 25 applications and contacted even more principals with no luck. I filled out some information, gave ATOMS my transcripts and recommendation letters, had a wonderful conversation with Joe about my teaching style and preferences, and before I knew it, I had four job interviews at some of the best schools in the country. When I needed help negotiating a salary, the ATOMS team were there to help me at the drop of a dime. My family and I have started a wonderful new life in a new state we couldn’t be happier and I owe it in great part to ATOMS.”

“ATOMS connected me with a school at which I am currently employed and very happy. I started my job search just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which was obviously a difficult time to be looking. Despite this, ATOMS were able to find me a fantastic placement. I’m grateful to their team, who were personable, responsive, and astute with their advice throughout my recruitment process. I’d highly recommend ATOMS to those seeking out a new school.”

“Working with ATOMS was an absolute pleasure. They regularly checked in and guided me through the process, and I couldn’t be happier. I love my new job. ATOMS helped me get 3 times more interviews than working independently or with other companies. If I ever decide to leave my current job, ATOMS will be my first call. I have recommended them to multiple members of my family, and will continue to do so.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with ATOMS. They were organized, professional, and knowledgeable. They made me feel like a priority and worked hard to find me a job that fit well and offered excellent compensation. ”

“It was such a pleasure working with the ATOMS staff. They really took the time to get to know me and my philosophy of education, just as they have taken the time to really understand the schools where they place teachers. The position I found through them was a much better match for me than I was able to find through my own research or any other teacher placement agency. Their advice during my job search was also incredibly valuable; they were able to advise me about what to expect during the hiring season and whether I would be a better fit for a boarding school or a day school. Thank you, ATOMS!”

“I am incredibly grateful for my experience with ATOMS. They supported and guided me through the entire process, from preparing my materials to finding schools where I could apply. During my job search, I was also studying in graduate school and student teaching. ATOMS took so much of the work of job-searching off of my shoulders. Beyond that, they did a better job than I ever could have with findings schools for which I was a good fit and a competitive candidate. I ended up choosing between competing offers and am very happy with my fit at the school where I now teach.”

“I am so happy I was able to work with ATOMS. They set me up for success by identifying my strengths as an educator and matching me with schools in which I would be successful. The best part of working with them was that they provided support throughout the entire process. I was grateful to be able to seek their advice at each step, from applying to schools to accepting my current position. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to work with their team again.”

“It was such a pleasure working with ATOMS earlier this year. They made the job search easy and fun. They were also responsive, available, and more than willing to help me navigate my search and make an informed decision about which offer to accept. I really appreciate that they were responsive via email as well as over the phone. It really felt like they were invested and committed to helping find the best fit for me, which they did! If I ever leave my current position, I look forward to working with them again! Thank you for everything!”

“I found ATOMS to be knowledgeable and responsive, helping me think through what new directions I was open to in my career, prepare my application materials, prepare for interviews and demos, and, ultimately, think through a negotiation strategy. ATOMS listened to what I wanted, and had direct knowledge of which specific opportunities might be good fits for me. I love my new position and team, and think they’re a great fit for what I want moving forward in my career. Thanks so much ATOMS!”

“ATOMS was extremely helpful in getting me organized for my job search. Upon initial contact, I was asked about what kind of school I was looking for, what subjects I was interested in teaching, and the location in which I was searching in. I was able to secure my position remotely, while living on the opposite coast, and I attribute this to the great work that ATOMS did on my behalf. I received consistent communication and feedback for my portfolio throughout the entire process. All in all, I am so appreciative of this service and I would recommend this service to anyone!”

“My family was looking at moving from Hawaii but didn’t have any idea where to start looking for jobs. I found ATOMS through a quick Google search. The application is thorough but it really helped us narrow down what I was looking for in a new school and what my family was looking for in a new community. After speaking with my placement agent, everything moved very quickly and within hours I received information about how to put together my profile and what documents to include. I also received an email with over a dozen different school options with instructions on who to contact and how to apply, and/or letting me know that my profile had been submitted. These were schools that didn’t show up on any hiring page so they weren’t even on my radar. I’m not kidding when I say I had an interview within 24 hours. Within the next week, I had three more interviews scheduled. From start to finish, I ended up with a competitive offer at a school that was absolutely everything I was looking for. Honestly, I didn’t think this type of school existed and I wouldn’t have even known to apply, if not for the help of ATOMS. I can’t believe this service didn’t cost me anything. I truly could not have asked for an easier experience. I highly recommend ATOMS!”

“I had never used a placement service for a job search and didn’t know what to expect when reaching out to ATOMS. I was so fortunate to have an opportunity to talk to them within just a few days of submitting my initial documents! While other placement firms flooded my inbox with job listings that did not fit my profile, ATOMS carefully listened to my search preferences, and only forwarded my materials to schools that truly matched my needs and interests. When I was getting calls for interviews, they helped build up my confidence and prepare me, and when I needed to make a final decision, they helped me carefully weigh my options. I can’t recommend ATOMS enough!”

“ATOMS allowed me to start my job search long in advance when I was ready for a change. They helped guide me towards a position where the school’s mission is a perfect fit for my teaching philosophy. Through their connections and insight, I’m now working in a location I’ve dreamed about living in for a long time - something I never thought possible.”

“ATOMS introduced me to the possibility of transitioning from higher education to the independent school classroom. I had no idea what that meant when I started, but ATOMS took such good care of me, that I never felt lost. They took the time to make sure I understood what the change would mean to me, to match me with compatible schools, and to guide me through the interview process. I love my new job and still marvel at how fantastically ATOMS treated me. I am quite sure I would not have done it without them.”

“I started working with ATOMS early in the hiring season and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. They took my search criteria, requested a variety of straightforward materials to complete my portfolio, and then almost immediately began sending exciting opportunities my way. The entire process relieved me of the time and energy burden of the standard job search process, allowing me to focus on pursuing the opportunities that best matched my preferences. I am extremely grateful for the support I received from ATOMS, and cannot recommend them enough.”

“I feel that ATOMS gave me a considerable amount of personal attention throughout the entire search process. Through emails and phone calls, I always felt reassured and cared for. The personal touch ATOMS provided was invaluable because the unique set of circumstances that led to my job search, was understood, and ATOMS was looking out for my best interests. If I ever have a need for a new position in the future, I’ll be sure to reach out again to ATOMS because I know I will be treated well, and guided professionally, throughout the process.”

“I am very glad that I chose ATOMS to find a new teaching position. From the very first phone call, I knew that I made the right choice. They listened to what I was looking for and why I was searching. Within a short period of time, my portfolio was completed, and then sent out to prospective schools. Their advice during the interview process was extremely helpful and made the search process less stressful. The ATOMS team was very responsive throughout the entire process, reassuring me every step of the way. In the end I was offered a position with a prestigious independent school, that was not even on my radar. With the help of ATOMS, I have found a school that fits my teaching style and philosophy. I love my new position and know that I could not have done it without them. I am truly grateful and highly recommend ATOMS to anyone who is looking for a new teaching position.”

“Working with ATOMS was a fantastic experience. From the beginning, the process was clear and straightforward. Using a placement service that specializes in my area of teaching, allowed me to see jobs at schools that immediately appeared to be good fits for me. ATOMS listened to what my needs were and gave me a tailored list of potential job opportunities. When schools started getting back to me, ATOMS was there to help provide insight on how best to respond. I felt like I received a bespoke experience and was not just another candidate. I am happy to say that after considering the offers I received, the school that I finally decided on has met my expectations and needs. So, thank you ATOMS!”

“The ATOMS team were extremely kind, helpful, and flexible throughout the entire job search process. They identified numerous schools that matched my needs (many of which were not even on my radar), allowed me to choose which ones to advance my candidacy, and promptly sent out my resume and cover letter, which simplified the application process on my end. Even better, when I began to get offers, their knowledge of the job market was invaluable in helping me negotiate the best offer. I can’t thank them enough for their help! No matter whether you’re a new teacher to independent schools, or a veteran, ATOMS will be able to help your search process.”

“Working with ATOMS made the task of finding a new teaching position a breeze. The experience felt truly personalized and not like I was just another candidate in a system. From sending out my information and connecting me with positions that matched what I was looking for, to their personalized consistent communication throughout the entire process, it was reassuring to know that I had a team in my corner. I would recommend ATOMS to anyone looking for the next step in their career.”

“The staff at ATOMS Placement made the job search easy. They were very accommodating, working with me to search for just the right job to fit my needs. I connected with some great schools and ended up finding a job I love! I’d highly recommend ATOMS Placement!”

“I am grateful to have worked with ATOMS in my job search following my teaching residency program. The ATOMS team was responsive, thoughtful, and helped me find a position that is a great fit for me. Throughout my job search process, they provided effective, individualized guidance. I highly recommend their services to other young science teachers!”

“I really enjoyed the personalized search experience with ATOMS. They listened intentionally to what I wanted in a school culture, location, and student body. They were prompt at sending in my application and had great communication. They made the job search very easy on my end. ”

“ATOMS was very helpful in matching me with my desired teaching position. They gave me the opportunity to interview for multiple schools and receive multiple offers. It was also very nice to have my placement agent to talk to, 1:1, for advice, for every step of the process. I highly recommend ATOMS for future job opportunities.”

“ATOMS was a great help in assisting my husband and I find new teaching positions. They really helped us connect with independent schools after teaching abroad for three decades. We found the team to be very professional and organized, and we are both very happy in our teaching positions. I highly recommend ATOMS.”

“ATOMS made the job search very easy. My placement agent was truly in my corner and wanted what was best for my career path. He was accessible when I needed him, and always made an effort to reach out to me.”

“I was impressed with ATOMS from the get-go. The people there who represented me and shared my profile with schools were proactive about reaching out to me and keeping me in the loop. I was also very impressed with the range of schools ATOMS is connected to. A lot of other placement programs are much more opaque in their connections, referrals, and placements. I am extremely happy at my new school, but do not think I would have ever heard of it if it were not for ATOMS. I am extremely grateful for their hard work in helping me get this job! They made applying to jobs extremely easy, and found me a school that was a great fit. Thank you!”

“ATOMS was easy to work with and provided great support. They were responsive, organized, and provided helpful resources regarding resumes and teaching philosophies. All of this made the daunting task of finding a new job in a new state go much more smoothly than I had anticipated.”

“I was impressed with ATOMS from start to finish. They provided guidance and support with my application materials, identified openings that were good fits, and even provided tips throughout the interview process. ATOMS helped me find an excellent position, and I highly recommend them to any teacher looking to explore new opportunities.”

“Working with ATOMS helped make my job search a pleasant experience. At the time, I was wrapping up my PhD, applying to jobs, thinking about moving, basically living through a combination of events that alone would be extremely stressful. When I came across ATOMS on a job board for my field, I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to do after graduate school. However, the candidate application process was so straightforward, yet thorough, and communication from ATOMS was so prompt and supportive, that it actually helped ease my stress at the time. I honestly cannot thank the ATOMS team enough for the attention and care that went into helping me find roles that would be a good fit for me, leading me to multiple interviews and an amazing offer. Even after receiving an offer, the ATOMS team was so accessible, talked me through what different parts of my offer meant, and helped me weigh my options. They demystified the world of teaching at independent schools and the job search in general, leading me to a great post-grad job! ”

“ATOMS allowed me to explore my career options without having to sacrifice time and focus from my current students. I was impressed how quickly they found schools that were perfect matches for me. I highly recommend the service for any science teachers interested in transitioning to a new school. ”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with ATOMS. Their team was always available, guiding me through every step of the process. What made it stand out was the personal touch; they made me feel valued and their support was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend ATOMS for anyone seeking a dedicated and supportive placement service.”

“Since I am not new to the boarding school world, I certainly did not use ATOMS to the degree that maybe a new teacher would. I networked as much as possible with former colleagues at as many other schools that I could. I was surprised, actually, that in the end it was a placement by ATOMS that ended up being the position that worked out! I’m happy that it did, since now I will be back in Connecticut near family/friends which was ultimately the goal.”

“ATOMS is very proactive to find new opportunities that suit your needs and is always available for a conversation. I highly recommend working with ATOMS Placement Services.”

“I am very satisfied overall with the care and support given to me as a candidate. I never would have found this position on my own searching.”

“ATOMS Placement is great resource for teachers that are looking for a great school. Mr. Jason Johnson is a great helper and I really think of him as a friend.”

“ATOMS did a great job and was a phenomenal resource throughout my job search. They carefully listened to my search objectives, helped me when I was feeling anxious about making a big career move, and matched me with a school that is perfectly aligned with my educational philosophy. I am incredibly happy with my placement and cannot wait to start the school year! Thank you, ATOMS.”

“ATOMS was great to work with. They were very supportive and helpful, and contributed lots of important suggestions and well thought out strategies pertaining to my specific situation.”

“Working with ATOMS was a boutique experience. They helped me every step of the way from arranging initial introductions, to giving me interview guidance, to contacting schools, to negotiating an offer. I felt like I had an advocate throughout the hiring process. I hope that I am not looking for a new job anytime soon, but I know that the next time I am, ATOMS will be my first call. I cannot recommend ATOMS highly enough!”

“ATOMS was invaluable in my job search. Not only did my agent find me the perfect job, but he gave good advice and words of encouragement throughout the entire process. He helped from beginning to end—from narrowing down my search to some key locations, to helping me boost my interview skills. He even advised me as I negotiated the contract with my new employer. I couldn’t have done this without him!”

“ATOMS listened to my needs and provided very helpful advice and guidance, unlike a different placement firm that I worked with previously, who did not give any personalized attention whatsoever. ATOMS was very responsive and actively liaised with schools, and I was able to find a position very quickly through their services.”

“My initial interview with ATOMS identified my strengths and most marketable attributes. The guidance I received throughout the application process was unparalleled. I was matched with a school, got an interview, and was offered the job at the perfect school! Having ATOMS vouch for me accelerated the process and I am incredibly grateful for their help from start to finish!”

“ATOMS was an essential part of my job search. They worked hard to guide me through the interview process. They matched me with schools that fit my interests and had positions that complemented my skills. After receiving job offers, ATOMS guided me through the decision making process and helped me negotiate and finalize my contract, which I had never done before. Overall I am delighted with the outcome of my search!”

“The ATOMS team worked tirelessly to ensure I achieved my career objectives. They utilized their impressive network of schools to find unique opportunities that best fit my personal profile. They remained exceptionally present and responsive throughout the entire process, initiated timely check-ins, provided valuable feedback, advocated behind the scenes, and negotiated for full benefits. The entire process was rich, rewarding and an excellent use of my time. I believe all educators can benefit from the support and services provided by ATOMS.”

“ATOMS is the ONLY agency I go to when I am in the market for a new placement! They always take the time to get to know my strengths and search preferences, and match me up with high quality schools. They are on hand throughout the job search process and treat their candidates with the utmost respect and professionalism. It is such a comfort to know that I have ATOMS by my side!”

“ATOMS helped me to find a job that is the perfect fit. Through our conversations, they were able to understand the type of school that best fit my preferences. I felt very comfortable reaching out to them with any questions that I had during my search process. ATOMS made me feel that my search was important and that I was valued as a candidate. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in the midst of a job search.”

“ATOMS has helped me find two incredible positions at independent schools in San Francisco. The schools they connected me with were perfect fits for who I am as an educator. ATOMS is incredibly responsive and prompt. I felt supported through every step of the process and trusted I would find a position that would be right for me and the school. I wouldn’t trust any other placement agency with my job search after my experience with ATOMS.”

“The best thing about using ATOMS in my job search was their rapid response both to me as a candidate and in their referral of my information to schools. They were quick to alert me to potential openings, which allowed me to act on leads and be an early candidate in many pools. I am thrilled with where I ended up and I thank ATOMS for their work in understanding the parameters of my search and being willing to work within them.”

“ATOMS helped me find a job that I am extremely excited about. I applied to ATOMS very late in the hiring season, but they still found me my perfect job within a month. They are very helpful and are in frequent contact to assist you every step of the way. They also give great advice when you have any questions, not only about the job process, but about the schools you are interviewing with. ATOMS was a fantastic resource and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new teaching position!”

“Having worked with a different agency in the past for a search, working with ATOMS was a refreshing and wonderful experience. They asked all the right questions in our initial interview and I felt they had a really good sense of what I was looking for. I really appreciated the contact they maintained over the course of my search and after each interview with a potential school. The personal, timely contact made this search the least stressful and most successful of my career, and I would highly recommend ATOMS to any science or math teacher who is looking for their next position.”

“I could not have been happier with ATOMS. They were very thoughtful in what schools they matched me up with, which resulted in high interview rates and a multitude of final round interviews. ATOMS was with me every step of the search process, from thinking about the best individuals to write my recommendations, to helping me negotiate a salary. I have worked with other school placement services and ATOMS is a clear outlier in service and thoughtfulness. I found ATOMS through a recommendation from a friend and would be quick to recommend them to others.”

“I cannot praise Joe and ATOMS more highly. Right from the first phone conversation, I knew that they really understood my background and my search, and I knew that they would be able to help me find the best possible fit. Honestly, I worried that my preferences were too restrictive and that the school I was looking for didn’t even exist, but Joe was an absolute dream to work with. He found the perfect placement quickly, and his advice along the way was invaluable.”

“I love my new school. From the start, to the end of the process, I felt guided and supported in making the decisions that would serve myself and my family best.”

“I used ATOMS when I was searching for a science teacher position in the greater New York City area. I was very new to this region and did not know where to start. Not only did ATOMS help me to secure a position, but they made sure that the location of the job was suitable for my commute and where I would be living. ATOMS also did a great job preparing me for interviews. Their candidate portfolios are comprehensive but entirely manageable. Even better, they made sure that I always had a point of contact who could answer all questions in a timely manner. With ATOMS, I never felt unprepared and I am sincerely grateful for the efforts of the entire team. I would strongly recommend ATOMS for any science teacher seeking out a position because they are so personable and eager to help!”

“Joe and Claire were extremely helpful in my search. They took time to speak with me on the phone, made sure they knew my preferences, told me about job openings in a timely manner, and made the whole process super easy with their easy-to-navigate website. I feel fortunate to have worked with them.”

“ATOMS took the time to really listen to why I wanted to make a change and where that change would ultimately be. I had a very small geographic window, but Joe and his team were able to find the perfect fit for me based on my particular needs. If you are looking for a team that individualizes every search, I strongly suggest ATOMS Placement.”

“Working with ATOMS was an absolute joy. After an initial phone conversation about my personal goals, I sent in a few documents and ATOMS did all of the legwork for me! They took all of the stress out of compiling opportunities by presenting me with positions that they had already vetted and matched with my criteria. The whole process from getting started to getting hired only took a couple of months, and my placement agent reached out to talk with me personally, when I was mulling an offer that I had received. I highly recommend ATOMS for their personal touch and their extremely efficient operation.”

“I could not be happier with my experience with ATOMS. They took into account everything I was looking for, communicated throughout the process, and gave me feedback on how to present myself in the best way possible. They submitted me for jobs that would be a good fit and now I am working at my dream school!”

“ATOMS has consistently provided high quality career opportunities and personalized guidance throughout the job search process. ATOMS is very proactive and has connections to many outstanding independent schools. The process working with ATOMS greatly reduced the stress of searching for a job (especially when I was looking during the pandemic, a very stressful time for job hunting!). I highly recommend working with ATOMS.”

“The ATOMS staff were wonderful about getting to know me as a professional. They reassured me that schools would still be hiring despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic. Shortly after putting my portfolio together, I had interviews and a great offer from a school in my preferred location. If ever I am in the market for a teaching position, I will go through ATOMS. They are thorough, and lead you through the process with a personal touch.”

“The ATOMS team went above and beyond to support me in my job search. They checked in regularly to ensure that they were setting me up with schools and job placements that interested me, and followed up to make sure that I successfully navigated the job search. Additionally, they helped me every step of the way to set up my applicant profile and make it as clear and appealing to employers as possible. I really appreciate the professional and personal touch with which ATOMS approaches the job search process.”

“I had previously spent a while applying to independent school positions by myself, with limited success, but within 24 hours of signing up to use ATOMS’ services, they connected me with schools where I had interviews the same week. I would definitely work with them in the future!”

“The ATOMS crew were with me every step of the way as I figured out what I wanted for my career. All of the back-end work was flawless, making me look good to potential employers, but I also knew I had the support of the ATOMS team when I needed to talk through my decisions. They were able to help me make decisions based on my long-term goals and gave me a listening ear whenever I needed one. I couldn’t have asked for a better team.”

“ATOMS is fantastic! They kept me informed of everything happening behind the scenes in my job search, as well as checking on me personally.
