We’ve worked with Kadri from Fontes on school leader recruitment for nearly four years, supporting local municipalities. Fontes is a reliable partner whose contribution helps schools find capable leaders who match the local challenges. Their in-depth experience in executive search, supportive approach, and friendly manner ensure that even candidates who aren’t selected leave the process with a valuable experience.
