As technology advances, companies rely more and more on faster, smarter online methods to recruit new staff, and it’s no wonder schools are following suit with Fast Apply.
Over 30% of our customer base, including primary and secondary schools, multi-academy trusts and colleges, are using our unique online application form.
By transforming the way candidates interact with job opportunities in the digital era, schools can utilise this exclusive Eteach customer benefit to significantly increase the number of applications they receive. It’s a no-brainer that busy teachers would prefer to fill in a form that takes minutes, rather than hours to complete.
Downloadable forms and long-winded candidate journeys are becoming obsolete. By using Eteach's Fast Apply method, schools and colleges can eliminate the barriers associated with outdated application methods, whilst maintaining high safeguarding standards, enabling candidates to focus on what truly matters: showcasing their qualifications and passion for education.
In a recent survey to teachers across Wales, we found that 61% of teachers find applying for education jobs difficult. Overcomplicated and unnecessarily long applications were one of the key reasons for this. Additionally, we know that over 70% of candidates search for jobs on Eteach via mobile. Teachers want to apply for jobs on-the-go. Anywhere, at any time. However, the journey stops at the job ad if the application form needs to be downloaded on a desktop and requires hours to complete. Fast Apply is a mobile-friendly application form that can double the amount of completed applications. Why? Because the journey stays on one device and takes a matter of minutes.
Have you ever tried applying for one of your own jobs? If you haven’t, we recommend you do. Review the process, identify the barriers and opt for a more modern, digital approach. Schools already using Fast Apply have proven that an online application form attracts more candidates in a climate where efficiency and experience wins.
As a business committed to pushing boundaries and raising the bar for what is possible in the world of education recruitment, our journey doesn’t end here. With the support of our incredible team and the trust of our valued customers, we will continue to explore new horizons and develop solutions that drive efficiency, foster inclusivity, and empower both candidates and educational institutions.
To join the growing number of schools and colleges embracing a more streamlined and convenient way for candidates to apply for their roles, get in touch with our team of experts and try Fast Apply for yourself.
