A HOLISTIC APPROACH

Multichannel Recruitment Strategy

Engaging our direct network

Gain access to a vast network of contacts in 350+ schools annually. Identify educators with similar cultures and values. The executive team contacts potential candidates for career advancement, conducts initial screenings, assesses skills, experience, and alignment with role values.

Digital promotion and marketing

Launch marketing campaigns at scale, engage educators directly, attract candidates with a strong marketing strategy, and ensure high role visibility on various platforms.

Global search & headhunt capabilities

Utilize global and local networks to target outstanding educators and leaders. Employ proactive and collaborative methods for effective talent search processes. Group exceptional educators for outreach and discuss visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis.

Database interrogation

Review our job seeker database thoroughly, invest time in career development, mentoring, coaching, and guidance, and facilitate discussions on relocation and region flexibility with leaders.

GOVERNANCE AND MITIGATING RISK

Mitigation Strategies For Unconscious Bias

Unconscious bias, ingrained within the human psyche, can significantly impact decision-making processes, often leading to unintended discrimination or skewed perceptions.

As industry frontrunners, our recruitment strategies are tailored to recognise unconscious bias as a natural aspect of human behaviour.

To reassure both our clients and candidates, we advocate the following approaches:

Intentionally slowing down decision-making processes to engage our rational faculties
Conducting interviews in teams to collectively reconsider perceptions and decisions
Openly questioning cultural stereotypes
Consistently monitoring our values, processes, and personal biases

By implementing these measures, we aim to foster fairer and more inclusive recruitment practices.
