Loughborough, UK - Access Education is proud to announce the launch of its new integration with Eteach’s SchoolRecruiter, a partnership designed to enhance recruitment strategies for schools and trusts. This powerful collaboration offers a seamless workflow that provides exceptional functionality not previously seen in our sector.
The integration of Access Education People with SchoolRecruiter equips schools with a robust Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that helps attract, engage, and hire top talent efficiently. From the first interaction to their first day on the job, this partnership ensures best-in-class hiring tools are at your fingertips.

- Cost Efficiency: The integration can reduce your cost per hire by up to 20%, making it a financially savvy choice for educational organisations facing budget constraints. More efficient advert performance and discounted rates on over 100 partner job boards in the UK and worldwide leads to significant savings for schools.

Enhanced Employer Branding and Candidate Engagement
The integration features mobile-optimised job adverts and branded career sites that are designed to convert more candidates than ever before. Candidates applying through the Eteach FastApply system can easily complete their applications with just a few taps, significantly increasing your chances of engaging high-quality applicants.
In the ever-evolving job market, it's essential to capture the attention of both active and passive candidates. Schools can now leverage a vast network of over 2.6 million registered education professionals and 500,000 unique visitors per month, ensuring that roles are seen by a dedicated and engaged community.
Multichannel Recruitment Opportunities
Going beyond traditional job boards, this integration allows schools to broaden their recruitment scope through digital and social media advertising. Targeted Meta advertising, high-performing email campaigns, and website advertising provide amplified and targeted reach that drive results.
Moreover, access to real-time analytics allows schools to identify which sources deliver the best candidates, enabling more strategic recruitment efforts. Schools can also tap into an extensive database of passive candidates not currently seeking new roles, ensuring a healthy talent pipeline for the future.
