Edtech companies and the hard part of workplace programs

The problem

Edtech companies frustrate workplace programs, for a reason specific to them. Any workplace programs method has to survive this: edtech companies sell to institutions on an academic calendar, so the buying window opens twice a year and closes hard. Know this about edtech companies before any workplace programs: term dates move the whole pipeline, so a signal read in July means something else in October. There is 1 runnable example of workplace programs for edtech companies below.

Traditional Search Tools

• The institution's own procurement portal, for edtech companies. Free, slow, and the only place a tender actually appears.
• Glassdoor and the review sites. What employees say rather than what the company claims, which is the better question. Coverage drops fast below a few hundred employees.
• Asking in the screening call. For recruiters, one question answers this completely and builds the relationship. It does not help you build a list.
• Read the careers page and a job advert. The advert is usually more honest than the careers page because it is written to attract applicants. Five minutes per company.

Doing it end to end

1. Start with one of edtech companies you already know, so a wrong workplace programs answer is obvious rather than plausible.
2. Run Workplace Program Detector across your list of edtech companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for workplace programs.
3. Read ten rows of workplace programs on edtech companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
