SEND Education Recruitment Consultant
You are currently working as a SEND Education Recruitment Consultant. You are doing okay, but there is a nagging feeling inside that this can be done a better way.
Let's try a little quiz and see how many of these apply to you.
1. You recruit SEND specialists, but you are not allowed to supply send staff to mainstream schools in your geographical area.
2. You are encouraged to squeeze more margin out of every transaction.
3. Pressure from senior leaders and managers is so intense that the room is an uncomfortable place to work.
4. The highest billers are worshipped regardless of their attitude and negative impact on the room.
5. Everybody is focused on short term revenue rather than long term growth.
6. Business Development calls feel so hard, you’re not selling anything different to the hundred others
How did you do? I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable reflecting on some of those truths. Once you have established yourself with the recruitment business it can feel hard to make the decision to leave. Eventually you realise it's going to be even harder to stay.
Recruitment is a very different job depending on which room you are sitting in. Our goal at Parker Smith Inclusion was to build a culture that respected everybody in the room, and we've succeeded. Our teams are strong, Our culture is inclusive. People are thriving
90% of all recruiters don't have any further training after their first two months. Our Parker Smith Academy starts trainees on the right foot and then they are continually trained whilst in their teams. Even our most senior and most experienced recruiters and managers receive training every term. We work in a niche part of the education recruitment market where our impact brings huge value and we need to make sure that everybody working with us is the best they can be.
SEND education recruitment requires passion, purpose and patience. If your current environment doesn't allow you to exercise all three of these, it's probably not the right place for you to grow.
If anything, we've discussed above resonates with you it's probably time we had a confidential conversation. You've probably got some questions about everything that's been discussed here and how we managed to build such a unique brand in the market. We've got nothing to hide, in fact we've got an awful lot to talk about and we'd love to share it with you.
