Is Crimson Education hiring for real?
Has anyone here interacted with the recruitment team at Crimson Education? They appear to be expanding rapidly. I found it a bit odd when I received a LinkedIn message from their “COO” inquiring if I was interested in a position. Do you think it’s strange for the COO of such a “fast-growing edtech company” to reach out to individuals directly? I’ve noticed they have multiple recruiters on LinkedIn as well. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but it raises a few red flags for me. What do you all think? Any personal experiences to share?

It’s totally understandable to feel a bit skeptical about receiving a message from a COO regarding job recruitment, especially in the edtech space where recruitment is typically handled by HR or dedicated recruitment teams. It’s becoming more common for executives to take a hands-on approach in hiring, particularly in fast-growing companies, to ensure they find the right fit for their teams.
That said, it’s wise to proceed with caution. If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of the outreach, consider doing a bit of research on Crimson Education and the COO. Check their LinkedIn profiles for authenticity, look for reviews or experiences shared by past employees or candidates, and see if there are any red flags.
It might also help to reach out to the recruiters they have listed on LinkedIn to get some clarity about their hiring process. Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it’s always best to dig deeper before moving forward. Good luck!
