About MatchHub
Hiring built on alignment, not just credentials.
MatchHub is the hiring platform built specifically for Montessori. It connects schools and mission-aligned organizations with credentialed guides, assistants, and leaders, and it runs retained strategic searches for the roles that matter most.
What MatchHub is
The hiring infrastructure Montessori has been missing.
Montessori hiring is relational, philosophical, and mission-sensitive. The tools built for traditional schools were never made for that. A general job board can tell you who holds a credential. It cannot tell you who understands the prepared environment, who can hold a classroom community, or who will carry a school’s philosophy rather than pull against it.
MatchHub is built for exactly that work. Schools post roles and reach a curated pool of trained Montessorians. Guides and assistants create free profiles and get seen by schools that share their approach. And for the highest-stakes roles, a fully supported strategic search is led personally, start to finish.
Why alignment
Most hiring failures in Montessori are not about credentials.
They are about alignment. A guide can hold the right diploma and still misread the environment. A head of school can have an impressive résumé and still move a community away from what makes it Montessori. The credential is the floor, not the whole picture.
So every match and every search starts with the same question: what does this role actually require of the person who holds it, in this specific school, with this specific community? Philosophy, culture, and fit come first. That is the difference between a hire that fills a seat and a hire that lasts.
Who leads it
Hannah Richardson
MatchHub is led by Hannah Richardson, founder of Montessori Makers Group. Hannah has spent 25 years inside Montessori schools, and that experience is the foundation of how MatchHub reads a role and a candidate. She knows the difference between someone who can describe Montessori and someone who can live it in a classroom or lead it from the front of a school.
She leads every strategic search personally, from the first conversation about the role through references, shortlisting, and selection. When you work with MatchHub, you are working with someone who has done the work you are hiring for.
Start a conversation
Hiring well starts with clarity about the role.
Whether you need a full retained search or want to understand which level of support fits, it starts with a conversation.
