Effective Practices For Recruiters: Out-of-Fair Placements
The Search Associates database of teachers and administrators is available to recruiters from schools registered with Search Associates. This provides a wealth of candidates from which to find the right match for your school's vacancies. Full reference (evaluation) information is also conveniently on hand through the database, for every registered candidate.
Direct Contact With Candidates
It is becoming ever easier to make direct contact with candidates. In particular, e-mail and video conferencing through Skype have enabled recruiters to enter into discussions with candidates in a cost- and time-effective way. For those vacancies where an in-person interview is not feasible, Search's database facilitates contact, and provides corroborative information about candidates, to help recruiters make the right decisions. The Gez Hayden branch of Search Associates requires all registered candidates to maintain a Skype account.
Seeking the Help of Senior Associates
Senior Search Associates are there to advise recruiters and candidates. Recruiters can contact any Senior Associate for comments and recommendations about any of their registered candidates. Some schools choose to approach a Senior Associate with a view to providing a list of candidates viewed to be suitable for one or several positions. Individual branches of Search Associates can assist recruiters with setting up remote interview schedules, as well as giving advice on the candidates involved. The Senior Associate is able to introduce your school to candidates, in order to facilitate the interview process. IB schools in particular may wish to contact Gez Hayden with regard to arranging out-of-fair interviews.
