Are your recruitment processes up to scratch?

Recruitment & Retention
Recruitment season is upon us and it is vital that your processes are robust, exacting and clear. School leader Ben Solly highlights the dos and don’ts of a successful recruitment process.

We are approaching the season in the academic year where job adverts are becoming more frequent, teachers may be seeking promotions, and NQTs set out to get that all important first job.

This is a busy time for both the professionals who are applying for posts and for the organisations recruiting, and as educators we are operating in rapidly changing times.

School leaders are mapping out the strategic plans for the next three to five years, constructing timetables for the forthcoming year, and school business managers are trying to balance the books. 

All of these processes are driven by staffing, so it is critical to get recruitment processes right. Staffing structures within schools today are most likely to be as lean as they have ever been as the teaching profession becomes ever more challenging.
