Leadership recruitment
All of the available evidence shows that recruiting the right leaders in education is the most important investment you can make. Governors and CEOs of MATs know it is becoming increasingly difficult to find high quality leaders and how much of an impact the right appointment makes upon the life chances of children. TSC can help and support you in finding the best talent in the market and in making the right decision.
Each college, school and academy needs to recruit according to ‘context’
TSC takes the time to understand your organisation, your culture and aspirations and the key skills, experience and characteristics of your ideal candidate. We can help you define your candidate requirements. This includes what would attract the best candidates to your college, school or academy and how to then convey that message in a positive way to suitable candidates. What makes you the employer of choice for the best candidates?
Advertising does not always get the desired results
You need to be ‘proactive’ if you want to find the best candidates ‘in the market’. Only 24% of candidates are ‘on the market’ i.e. are ‘active’ job seekers. Why not get specialists to extend your search into the 76% not actively looking with a discreet and confidential approach to present your opportunity. This is where executive search (headhunting) provides by far the most effective method to source the right candidate for your school/academy
Fresh Approach and Fresh Search
Most schools who have recently recruited will tell you that relying upon advertising alone will not necessarily get you the high quality shortlist you had hoped for. The best leaders are usually too busy doing a good job in their current position to look at job adverts. The most effective methods take time and commitment and involve networking with, and talking to, the key people in the sector. At TSC we treat your assignment as unique, taking a fresh approach and conducting a fresh search every time. We identify leaders and aspiring leaders who fit your brief. We then start a ‘soft dialogue’ with them and progress the best candidates through to your shortlist.
68% of Candidates choose their employer based upon their recruitment experience
Attraction and marketing is one element, but nurturing and keeping candidates in the process is just as important. It is not rocket science, but we aim to get it right. That means lots of conversations, great back office support and staying close to support candidates right until the end of the campaign. It takes time, but it’s important.
A smooth experience for Clients & Candidates
Running a recruitment process for leaders can be complicated and stressful. It involves managing multiple stakeholders, fielding numerous enquiries and making sure you adhere to best practice. A carefully ‘project managed’ and timetabled assignment will significantly reduce your stress, ensuring a seamless campaign from start to finish.
Testimonials
"TSC’s approach is refreshing, honest and professional"
“TSC came highly recommended to me as the MD of a professional sales and marketing recruitment business who did things a little differently. I asked them to help me with recruitment at Liberis and I was extremely pleased with how our partnership developed. TSC recruited a Sales Director and they have also been instrumental in growing our sales, marketing and operational teams. TSC understands the commerciality of businesses and the requisite resources needed – they really get to know the businesses they are recruiting for. TSC’s approach is refreshing, honest and professional.”
"Not your average recruiter, by far the best"
“I have worked with TSC since 2012, originally as TSC helped me in securing my current position. Since then I now work with the guys to help me source the right candidates for my ever expanding team. TSC has taken time to understand exactly what I am looking for and the personality fit for my team. Always professional always a pleasure. Not your average recruiter, by far the best.”
"Nothing short of excellent"
“Having been a client with TSC since 2015 I can confirm their professionalism, quality of service and speedy results is nothing short of excellent.”
“I would highly recommend their recruitment services to all businesses who are serious about hiring top talent to fill important responsible roles within their business.”
"A very easy, honest and professional experience"
“It was great to work with TSC recently. A very easy, honest and professional experience from our initial conversation to now keeping in-touch and maintaining a close connection with me.”
"Professional, clinical, resilient"
“From our first conversation when TSC found me my current role, to the many times we have spoken regarding recruiting for my employer, TSC has been professional, clinical, resilient and an all-round great guy to work with. While some recruiters I find can be plastic and fake, with Matt I feel like I work with someone who is on my level and gets the job done. I’d always recommend TSC to others, his approach is far more personable compared to the number crunching High St consultancies.”
"I got a fantastic sense that lots of hard work was being done on my behalf"
“TSC question closely to understand the ideal candidate for the role, then the team do an excellent job of hunting out and screening, which in turn allowed me to reach a hire rate of 1 in 2 or 3 interviews..”
“I got a fantastic sense that lots of hard work was being done on my behalf, deadlines were met for interview slots, and the extra detail from the psychometric profiles is a lovely extra to allow me to make a very informed choice.”
"It was an absolute pleasure"
“TSC helped me get my new job! During the process they were extremely helpful, dedicated and efficient. I would like to heartily recommend TSC as a professional organisation. It was an absolute pleasure.”
