esupportstaff's Recruitment approach to comply with Safer Recruitment in Education

Before recruiting your new member of staff, esupportstaff will ensure that you have:

• An up-to-date recruitment and selection policy that describes the process and roles before you begin the recruiting
• A safeguarding policy and that a statement about the organisation's commitment to safeguarding is included in all recruitment and selection materials
• An appropriate and up-to-date job description and person specification for all roles you wish to recruit for
• The relevant information to inform candidates about your school

 

We offer as part of our service

• Ensuring that you have an appropriate advertisement prepared that contains all the necessary information about the role, timetable for recruitment and your commitment to safeguarding
• Ensuring that you have compiled a suitable candidate information pack containing all the required information about your organisation, role, recruitment timetable, Safeguarding policy/statement and your school's application form
• Ensuring that each application received is scrutinised in a systematic way by our consultants before invitations for interview are sent
• Ensuring that all appropriate identity checks have been undertaken to ensure a 'right to work in the UK'
• Ensuring that all shortlisted candidates receive the same letter of invitation to interview, containing all the necessary information
• Ensuring that a face-to-face interview is conducted for ALL shortlisted candidates based on their suitability to find the right person for the right job
• Ensuring that all specific questions designed to gain information about a candidate's suitability have been asked, including those designed to check any gaps in employment history

 

We are happy to advise you before you formally appoint
