Sourcing candidates at universities and recruitment fares, they’re asked very specific questions around their teaching capabilities and their true motivation to relocate to the UK. Getting a better idea of how each teacher will operate in the classroom than you would from a CV!
Senior leaders are able to see the passion of the Canadian teachers in their detailed answers when the video interviews are shared with schools in Bexley, allowing the applicants to stand out from the crowd.
Not only were prospective teachers completing interviews, but Head Teachers were too. Answering questions about their school and their community meant that they could easily generate interest with their candidates!
Using the Shine platform allowed the team at REED Education to stand out in their efforts, resulting in a significantly increased number of placements made.
“Our results this year from the Canadian project have more than doubled from last year, and a large part of this increase is due to using Shine Technology.
There has absolutely been a positive return on investment, and we are now looking at how we can replicate this with other recruitment campaigns with Shine to get the same results.”
One of the UK’s fastest growing education recruitment agencies, with a database of over 1,000,000 education professionals, they work with the best quality temporary and permanent staff – using their local expertise to help you fill your next position.
Taking their search further afield, REED Education travelled overseas to Canada equipped with the Shine platform to conduct video interviews with newly qualified teachers, to find them placements in UK schools.
Why Canada? Every year Canada produces a surplus of excellent standard, newly qualified teachers who aren’t able to gain permanent teaching roles in their communities.
