Spotter Staffing is a specialized staffing agency that hires special education professionals (including SLPs, OTs, LSSPs, and special education teachers) for school-based roles in the Chicagoland and Dallas-Fort Worth areas.
We work exclusively in special education staffing, helping schools fill high-need positions with pre-vetted, aligned providers who are supported by us every step of the way.

Spotter Staffing solves two of the biggest challenges in special education staffing: helping providers find better opportunities, and helping schools find great staff.
For providers:
We help you find school-based roles that perfectly align with your strengths, values, and boundaries. We hire you directly, offer competitive pay, and give you access to a wider range of opportunities across Chicagoland and Dallas–Fort Worth. You’ll receive full benefits, caseload protection, and real support from your first interview through your time on the job. You get a team that has your back every step of the way.
For schools:
We help you hire better staff, faster. That means qualified, pre-vetted special education professionals who are aligned with your culture, ready to support your students, and backed by a partner who stays involved after placement. By focusing exclusively on special education in Chicagoland and Dallas-Fort Worth, we help reduce time-to-fill, lower turnover, and ensure that the providers you bring in are set up to succeed.
