How can you benefit from partnering with EJC Education Recruitment Consultancy?

  • Consider both direct and indirect costs of conducting a staff-managed search, from replying to inquiries to recruiting potential candidates. These tasks take your staff away from their daily responsibilities.

  • We know how to find exceptional candidates regardless of market conditions or competitiveness of the profession.

  • We have firsthand knowledge of the field.

  • Going outside your organization for search expertise brings objectivity to the process and encourages a wide range of candidates, who might not otherwise apply, to engage in the process. This may combat a misperception that the outcome of a search is predetermined.

  • We understand the impact of research and evidence of key topics such as safety and security as well as crisis management to schools and their stakeholders. Other topics of prime concern include mental and physical health and well-being as well as understanding the competitive landscape for recruiting and retaining staff across all functions and in particular subject areas. This latter point is essential component for us as a professional search firm to understand and have at the core of its relationship with its clients.

  • EJC Education Recruitment understands the value of a thorough executive onboarding plan for all staff as well as those in key leadership positions. New geographical areas to live and work require this comprehensive process.

  • Onboarding is a customized guided and supported process that is very specific and unique to an individual, a position, and/or job function for the purpose of allowing a newly hired employee the opportunity to quickly gain knowledge, build relationships, and receive input and feedback to accelerate the learning curve to get the new employee up to speed to fuel success.
