Alexa Picciano

I am a Senior National School Recruiter with over 9 years of industry experience. I truly enjoy working with my wonderful people to place them in opportunities that are the best fit for them and where they can manifest their full potential. If asked, my therapists, special educators, and nurses will say I am their biggest cheerleader! I am rooting for them from start to finish and I am always there to assist them when needed in a timely manner. We always work together to ensure they are comfortable and confident throughout the entire process from the first interview to on assignment. I am always very transparent so there will be no surprises if I can help it.  I take great pride in being a resource and a true advocate for the people I work with. I truly love what I do each day and I do it for you!

All STARS deserve a great agent!

Movie stars and sports heroes are not the only ones that deserve an agent.  Therapists and teachers are MY STARS and YOU deserve an agent too! With over 15 years working in various public school roles, I understand the halls you walk and the amazing responsibility and importance that you have for the future of our children. Over the last three school years, I have built a reputation for being consultative, knowledgeable, and supportive of the teachers and therapists I have the privilege of representing. I proudly serve as an advocate, confidant, negotiator, and coach to navigate the world of contract staffing. Let me be YOUR agent!  Let me help you experience a great new way of working with the people you love with an unparalleled layer of support and service that only Epic Special Education Staffing can provide.

More than just a job search

Whether you have been looking for a new opportunity for 2 days or two months, the search can be overwhelming. As your recruiter, I want to learn not only about the career you desire but what truly makes you happy! What caseloads make you excited to show up every day? What type of community drives you to give your best to students? Sometimes the smallest detail turns a job opportunity from a good one to a great one!

Commitment to a true partnership

The relationships I build with my candidates are very important to me and I pride myself on communication and transparency. I know that communication is so essential to building a relationship and I want to earn your trust! Throughout the process, I will advocate for you and work diligently to help you land a fulfilling career.

A little bit personal

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our orange tabby cat! I like walking around my neighborhood and am always hunting for a great garage sale. I am a big fan of arts and crafts and I love all types of DIY home décor projects.
