HR Recruiting Specialist

About Us: At Miaplaza, our vision is to make online learning more effective than ever before. We apply the most successful approaches in virtual education to create online learning platforms where students from different backgrounds can be successful, including kids with learning disabilities. Our platforms allow users to personalize each student’s learning path in a way that exceeds the possibilities of the traditional classroom setting. Our main K-8 curriculum platform is Miacademy, and our high school platform is MiaPrep.

Miaplaza embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

Our growth has been exponential in recent years. Our HR department was formed about 2 years ago, and we are now seeking an experienced HR Recruiting Specialist.

Our student base is growing rapidly and we are currently hiring for multiple positions across several departments! Our expansion stems from two key factors: our commitment to providing exceptional educational content to our students by scaling our team with passionate individuals, and our pursuit of new opportunities to enhance our students' learning experiences by broadening our capabilities and expertise as an organization.
