Recruitment and workforce development
Senior leadership development programme
This highly interactive and well-regarded programme develops the strategic skills of senior leaders in the further education sector in a complex and uncertain world. The programme not only offers you an analysis of global strategic development best practice but also enables you to put your new knowledge into practice straight away.
Recruiting to your college
Our unique position in the sector means we understand the variety of challenges, policy changes and budget issues you are facing. That knowledge combined with our experienced recruitment team means we can identify individuals for permanent or interim roles that can deliver an immediate positive impact to your college.
Interim management and consultancy
To prevent short-term staffing gaps becoming long-term problems, we have a professional network of high-calibre interim managers and consultants on hand to help your college thrive.
Executive recruitment and governance recruitment
Our experienced team proactively identify the best candidates from the FE sector and beyond, providing a rigorous assessment process to ensure that your college continues to go from strength to strength. - We practice what we preach - as an organisation with ‘Investors in Diversity’ status, over 23% of our Principal/Chief Executive placements in the sector are of BAME backgrounds, compared to 7% in the sector.
Teaching and junior support recruitment
Specialists in recruiting hard-to-fill teaching and support roles in colleges, our team of experienced recruiters work as an extension of your current HR team, providing you with a service that is open, honest and reliable.
AoC Jobs
AoC Jobs is the market leading job board for the FE sector, offering a cost-efficient way to find the very best staff for your college.
Education Recruiter
Education Recruiter is the first standalone recruitment Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) system developed specifically for the education sector.
Designed as a cost-effective recruitment solution for the sector, Education Recruiter provides organisations and candidates with a fast and seamless recruitment experience.
Unlike most ATS systems, Education Recruiter is a candidate first model. This focus stemmed from research we conducted that highlighted regular problems faced by candidates when applying for roles. By addressing these blockers, Education Recruiter aims to lower drop off rates and boosts application responses whilst improving the experience for recruiters and candidates.
