Attracting Talent
Aspire People work very hard to attract talented, reliable and hard working candidates for all our clients. It has taken us 7 years to build the extensive database we have today, through the following methods
Word of Mouth
Our personal touch differentiates us from every competitor. Many of the people we work with, including schools recommend us to other professional highly qualified candidates. Anyone who makes a recommendation will also receive £75 once the candidate has worked ten days.
University Relationships
Aspire People have very close links and relationships with universities across the Midlands. Not only do we exhibit at careers fairs but we conduct work shops within many of the Universities. For example last summer we held a lecture at Newman University College to NQTs and Teaching Assistants about supply teaching.
These relationships has meant that Aspire People can build its own NQT pool for local schools.
Job Centre Links
Aspire People work very closely with the Job Centre to make sure that unemployed but highly skilled and enthusiastic candidates are not forgotten about. They also offer training to candidates who aren't from an education background and Aspire People can provide these candidates with work experience in schools local to them.
Advertising
Aspire People advertise on the majority of Midlands and education specialist job boards. Not only does this attract a large amount of candidates looking for roles but helps to increase our presence online. This is backed up with advertising in the local press such as the Express and Star.
Student Associate Scheme
Aspire People has always recommended that Cover Supervisors do the SAS scheme before working in our schools. The SAS then recommend their students to Aspire People for cover supervisor roles. We place a lot of emphasis on supporting cover supervisors with their career development, many of our schools take them on GTTPs or we provide them with a reference for their PGCE. The Cover Supervisors really appreciate our support and guidance and often come back to Aspire People once they have qualified.
A combination of these initiatives and working hard to provide a continuously personal service has built a network of candidates throughout the Midlands willing to go that extra-mile for themselves, our schools and our company.
