Should Businesses Use a Recruitment Agency?
Posted on July 14, 2017 at 4:50 pm
It can be a great idea for businesses to use a recruitment agency. Many businesses find that recruitment consultants offer them excellent value for money and they get great results from using their services. If you haven’t used a recruitment agency before, now might be the time to consider it.
Look for a consultant that matches your needs and that specialises in your field. For example, there are recruiters who specialise in sectors like teaching, marketing, HR, publishing etc. so find one that meets your requirements. By hiring a professional, you won’t have to do all the hard work whilst recruiting. They will find you potential candidates who meet your job specification and who have been pre-interviewed by them to check their credentials. As you work with a recruiter more, they get to know you, your business and what you are looking for. The relationship can be very beneficial for you.

How to Progress in your Teaching Career
Posted on April 3, 2017 at 3:09 pm
As with any other job, people working in teaching want to progress and get further up in their careers. Teaching is a very specific field and you will need to do certain things if you want to climb the teaching career ladder. It’s not like a usual job where you can have a certain role for a while and gain promotions. You need to look out for new opportunities and put yourself forward.
One of the best ways to begin progressing is to look for opportunities in your current school. You may be able to apply for additional responsibilities, such as being a head of house or an assistant leader for a certain year group.
If opportunities don’t arise in your current school, it may be time to consider applying for a new teaching job. You can look out for opportunities on specific recruitment websites, or you can pass your details on to a teaching recruitment professional.

Talk to a professional. This could be a careers’ counsellor, or perhaps a recruiter. Both will be able to give you a variety of options and can present you with jobs you may not have previously come across. See if any of them take your fancy.

2 Reasons Why Using a Recruiter Could Be a Good Idea
Posted on September 16, 2016 at 6:39 pm
Since most recruiters get paid when they get you work – they have to work hard to seal the deal. As the talent, you don’t pay them a penny during any part of the process… that’s all handled by the employer. All you have to do is be the best you can be and get hired. Because you don’t have to pay to use recruiters, you can have as many recruiters working for you as you want simultaneously. It’s all a big game, but you as the talent have some unique advantages.
Very often, recruiters have direct connections to the hiring managers at various companies, people that you would never be able to get an audience with otherwise. These hiring managers get 100 resumes on their desk every week, but when the recruiter they know and trust calls, they pick up. Recruiters are dialed in to the specific roles these hiring managers are looking to fill, so they have their pulse on what’s available right now.

A Career Advisor
Posted on March 20, 2016 at 11:39 pm
A careers adviser is someone that provides information, guidance and direction to help people make practical choices about their education, training and work pathways. Finding a good one can be extremely beneficial to you and can really help you focus on what career you wish to pursue and what you need to do to get there. Sometimes career advisors will be based in schools and you should have the option to meet with them on a regular basis to discuss how you want to progress your academic future. There are also agencies outside of schools that offered independent advice, which there is normally no charge for. If you are struggling to know what you want to do or have an idea but don’t know how to get in to a particular job or industry then it may be worthwhile booking an appointment to see someone. They may end up saving you years of working in a job that does not satisfy you.

Building The Perfect CV
Posted on January 27, 2016 at 6:49 pm
When it comes to writing a CV you may have no idea where to start. There are millions of examples of CV’s on the internet but not all of them are good and sometimes your CV may have to be a little different depending what industry the position is in.
- Who you are – you would be surprised how many CV’s are sent out with incorrect or no contact details on. You may be the perfect candidate but if they cant get in touch with you they will not spend hours trying to to find you.
- Qualifications / Education – You don’t necessarily have to go in to this in too much detail unless it is related.
- Current / Previous employment – Here you should detail the company you worked for, your job title and time worked there. I would advise bullet pointing the most relevant skills / responsibilities you had there under each one.
- Closing paragraph – Explain a little about who you are and your hobbies etc.
