Improve recruitment outcomes by embracing your culture

Recruitment challenges in English schools

Culture-Driven Recruitment

In March 2022, the Confederation of School Trusts and Edurio surveyed around 300 CEOs and accounting officers of English school trusts. We asked about their priorities for this coming academic year and any challenges they foresaw. Recruitment was the number one expected challenge heading into this academic year.

At Edurio, we have seen that schools and trusts that put culture at the heart of their hiring process find themselves in a stronger position to identify a candidate’s culture fit, allowing them to thrive within their organisation.

Furthermore, with more and more staff considering resignation, hiring people who fit and feel comfortable within the culture of your school or trust is a key priority.

In this guide, we will look at why culture matters when considering recruitment strategies and suggest how to make culture a differentiator in recruitment practices. Download the guide to learn more about:
