The Government is to trial a new website in
the Spring, which aims to help Head Teachers fight the high cost of hiring fees.
Accordingly, Paul Kett, the DfE’s director-general
for education standards, announced last November that a prototype of the site
was already prepared. The services will allow schools to advertise teacher
vacancies for free.
Moreover, this initiative is eagerly awaited
by members of leadership in education, who have for many years been struggling
with the expense of using commercial recruitment agencies. Schools have been
forced to pay fees of up to 20% of a new recruit’s salary, with some spending
up to £100,000 a year in agency costs alone. A pilot scheme is due to be run in
the Spring. You can read more about the service here:

Recruitment in education is a minefield with
exorbitant recruitment fees being just one potential issue. Robust hiring
policies, with effective pre-employment checks, comprehensive contracts, and
codes of behaviour/conduct can ensure the successful hiring of valuable new
members of staff. Ensuring your HR systems and process are all legally
compliance can help you avoid messy terminations, industrial tribunals and
accompanying costs.
