Anyone in the UK Special Educational Needs (SEN) Sector Recruitment have any advice/tips?

Seeking Advice from the UK Special Educational Needs (SEN) Sector Recruitment Community

Hello Everyone,

I recently joined a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school in Devon after years of experience in a global corporate recruitment environment. Our school caters to students with diverse needs, including autism, ADHD, and PMLD, making the hiring of qualified and dedicated staff essential. I’m eager to enhance our recruitment strategy and explore new avenues.

As expected, we’re encountering some challenges:

• Attracting qualified teachers, as well as individuals interested in becoming SEN educators who may not fully understand the steps to get there.

• Recruiting in a more rural area, which can limit our talent pool.

• Effectively communicating the benefits of working in SEN education while keeping recruitment costs in check.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or strategies that have proven effective for others in similar positions! I’m particularly interested in:

• Recruitment platforms or job boards that are effective for SEN roles

• Engaging candidates through social media (any success stories you’d like to share?)

• Strategies for building long-term relationships with SEN professionals or student teachers.

Thank you in advance for any insights you can provide! 🙂

Can you say dear “Talent Acquisition team” in an email?

Is it appropriate to address the email as “Dear Talent Acquisition Team”? I received a message from the talent acquisition team that didn’t include a specific name; it simply stated it was from the “Talent Acquisition Team.” How should I respond in this situation?

Offer shopping !!

Subject: Tackling Offer Shopping in Recruitment

As we navigate the recruitment landscape, a pressing concern remains: how can we effectively discourage offer shopping among candidates, even when we present competitive CTCs from the very beginning? What strategies can we employ to minimize offer holding and bolster commitment throughout the job search journey in India, particularly for candidates with 2-6 years of experience?

Note: After candidates accept offers, we conduct engagement calls to maintain connection.

Our Approach: We prioritize clear communication, active engagement during the hiring phase, and prompt feedback to enhance the candidate experience.

Key Questions: Should we consider revoking offers, building a talent pipeline, or exploring other innovative solutions to address this challenge?

UK recruiters recruiting in Germany. Is having a GmbH essential?

UK recruiters looking to hire in Germany: Is a GmbH necessary?

My company doesn’t have a GmbH and we’re currently seeking to fill contract positions in Germany.

We’ve encountered numerous companies that are hesitant to engage with UK businesses on a contractual basis, forcing us to rely on payroll providers, which is quite frustrating.

So, is establishing a GmbH a must when recruiting in Germany?

Upgrading from COATS staffing software

Seeking Recommendations for New Staffing Software

Hello everyone,

I work at a CDL driver staffing agency and am currently looking for a new applicant tracking system (ATS) and payroll software to replace our existing COATS system.

While COATS effectively organizes candidates, employees, and clients and includes payroll capabilities, its integration with our other tools is lacking. This often leads to inefficient processes, as we find ourselves copying and pasting data between systems.

I’ve done some research on alternatives like Bullhorn and Avionté, but I’m still searching for software that meets our specific needs for ATS, payroll, and seamless integration.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you may have!

Thank you!
