Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you only partner with MATs?

    We can agree rates and service level agreements with individual schools, groups of schools, MATs as well as local councils!

  • What's the process for partnering with Engage?

    A consultation call will be held, followed by a meeting with leaders within the trust or council to discuss the tender process, agree on rates, and finalise other service agreement details.

  • What can a partnership offer?

    We’re more than just a recruiter on hand – We agree rates for a variety of roles upfront, helping to keep costs down while ensuring you secure staff within the agreed time frame. With preferential rates, you can also benefit from a quicker turnaround between submitting a vacancy and having staff on the way. We can help you with marketing support and you’ll have access to our pool of over 300,000 candidates.

  • How do we know how successful a partnership is?

    We would likely conduct termly reviews with the leaders, MAT, or Trust representatives to examine the spend, review who we’ve hired, and identify which schools have used our services and which haven’t.
