rTriibe was founded in September 2019 with a single, stubborn aim: to make temporary education recruitment work properly for schools, for staff, and for everyone in between. Our founding team brought together over 60 years' combined recruitment experience and decided technology had to be at the heart of the answer.
For years, supply staffing meant pre-dawn phone calls, opaque margins, and the same shortlist of names being sent everywhere. Schools got frustrated. Great candidates got overlooked. Everyone paid more than they should have.
So in 2019, we started over. Our founding team brought together over 60 years' combined recruitment experience and decided technology had to be at the heart of the answer. We built our own AI/ML-powered platform and app. We made our pricing visible to every party. We rewarded the people who built our network. And we kept the human side — real recruiters, real conversations, real care — right where it belongs.
In 2024, we brought the rTriibe model to the UAE — first to Dubai, then Abu Dhabi — adapting our compliance and matching for international schooling without losing what made the platform work back home. We're proud to be a BETT 2025 finalist for AI in Education Workload Reduction, but we're prouder of the day-to-day difference we make for the international schools and educators who actually use us.
Software should disappear into the background. Every interaction on the rTriibe platform is designed to remove friction, save time, and let people get back to teaching, learning, and running great schools.
Schools see what candidates earn. Candidates see what schools pay. Our margin is fixed and visible to both sides. When everyone can see the numbers, trust takes care of itself.
Refer a school, refer a teacher, work a shift — rTriibe Rewards puts something back for everyone who helps us grow. A fair platform should reward the people who build it.
rTriibe is run by people who've spent careers in education recruitment — and who built the platform because they wanted to do it better.

Education recruitment has had its tech moment, and a handful of companies are trying to do something similar. Here's how we sit alongside them.
Most "tech-first" agencies still hide their margin behind a single all-in rate. We publish ours. School and candidate both see the same numbers, every time.
Some platforms strip the human side away entirely. We don't. The app handles the heavy lifting; named consultants who know Dubai and Abu Dhabi schools handle the things software can't — relationships, urgent escalations, judgement calls.
Every shift teaches the matching engine more about your school. Switching costs aren't a trap — they're a side-effect of a platform that genuinely gets better the more you use it.
