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

Seeking Advice on SEN Sector Recruitment in the UK

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for some guidance as I embark on my journey in the Special Educational Needs (SEN) sector. I recently joined an SEN school in Devon after several years of experience in global corporate recruitment. Our school supports students with a variety of needs, including autism, ADHD, and PMLD, so attracting qualified and dedicated staff is essential. My goal is to enhance our recruitment strategy and explore new avenues.

We’ve encountered a few challenges along the way:

• Difficulty attracting qualified teachers and those interested in becoming SEN educators who may not clearly understand the path to get there.
• Recruiting in a rural area, which can limit our pool of potential candidates.
• Communicating the benefits of working in SEN education while keeping recruitment costs in check.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or strategies that have worked for others in similar positions! Specifically, I’m interested in:

• Effective recruitment platforms or job boards tailored for SEN roles.
• Creative ways to engage candidates through social media (any success stories would be fantastic!).
• Suggestions for building long-lasting relationships with SEN professionals or student teachers.

Thank you so much for your insights and support! 😊

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

Is it appropriate to address an email to “Talent Acquisition Team”? I received a message from the talent acquisition team, but it didn’t specify a name—just “from the Talent Acquisition Team.” How should I reply in this situation?

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

UK recruiters working in Germany: Is a GmbH necessary?

My company currently doesn’t have a GmbH, yet we are looking to fill contract positions in Germany. We’ve noticed that many companies are hesitant to engage with UK-based firms for contractual agreements, forcing us to rely on payroll providers, which is quite frustrating.

So, is it essential to have a GmbH when recruiting in Germany?

Upgrading from COATS staffing software

Seeking Alternatives to COATS Staffing Software

Hello everyone,

I work at a CDL driver staffing agency and have been tasked with finding a new applicant tracking and payroll software to replace our current system, COATS.

While COATS does a decent job of organizing candidates, employees, and clients, as well as handling payroll, it doesn’t integrate well with our other tools. This leads to a lot of inefficient copy-pasting across different software platforms.

I’ve looked into some alternatives like Bullhorn and Avionté, but I’m still searching for a solution that meets all our requirements for ATS, payroll, and seamless integration.

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

Thank you!
