What Epic Special Education Staffing does

Epic Special Education Staffing is a U.S. national talent and staffing solutions firm that exclusively serves the K-12 special education market, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Epic Staffing Group, Inc. Founded in 2011 and headquartered at 411 University St, Seattle, the company recruits, vets, and places qualified clinicians and educators — including Speech Language Pathologists (and Assistants), Occupational Therapists (and COTAs), Physical Therapists (and PTAs), Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Registered Behavior Technicians, School Psychologists, Social Workers, Special Education Teachers (including DHH and Adaptive PE teachers), School Nurses, and Special Education Administrators — into school districts across all 50 states.

Its core offering is a multi-modal placement service combining local/per-diem staffing, travel therapy assignments, and virtual/teletherapy delivery, with clinicians able to work on-site, remotely, or hybrid. The platform layer is intentionally lightweight: a self-serve job search portal (jobs.epicspecialeducationstaffing.com) supported by Quick Apply, a member portal (therapytravelers.my.site.com), and integration with E-Recruit and Salesforce as applicant tracking and CRM systems. Authorize.net handles payment processing and Epic Staffing Inform handles anonymous ethics reporting. The matching process itself is relationship-driven, executed by dedicated Relationship Managers rather than algorithmic matching engines.

The business model is B2B managed-services staffing: school districts contract Epic to fill temporary and permanent special education roles, with revenue generated on a per-placement basis (terms not publicly disclosed). On the supply side, the company recruits directly via the website and through the Epic Friends referral program — which pays up to $1,000 per successful referral plus $250 donated to a special-education cause — and uses signing and completion bonuses (up to $2,000 for SLPs, Special Education Teachers, BCBAs, and School Psychologists) as well as a benefits package including medical coverage, CEU reimbursements, PTO, summer insurance, and Overalls concierge services. Marketing mix spans content (Knowledge Center and blog), organic social (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X), email/newsletter, paid/earned media (ClearlyRated Best of Staffing awards, received by fewer than 2% of staffing agencies), and the Beyond the Classroom Instagram Live series. The company also makes recurring charitable donations — $77,500 to Teachers Pay Teachers (2021–2024) and $8,000 in 2025 split among Autism Society of America, National Center for Learning Disabilities, and Special Olympics — leveraging these relationships as both mission alignment and brand reinforcement.
