"The level of support and expertise given to us by Engage has been exceptional. They have supported us through the process offering guidance and advice. My Consultant has taken the time to really get to know our school and our requirements and is now able to match prospective teaching staff to us with skill. I would highly recommend ‘iday’ and Engage Education for an innovative approach to teacher recruitment. "

Helen Everitt

"I am very pleased with the service that we have received since we started using Engage Education. I have been very impressed with the efficiency and reliability of their service and also with the quality of their teachers and support staff. Based on my experiences so far, I am very happy to recommend Engage Education to other schools. "

Jo Lacey

"Feltham Hill Junior School has utilised Engage Education’s teachers for just over two years now. I can say that I have been very pleased with all of the supply teachers Engage have sent me. I relay any feedback to my Consultant via email or phone and they are responsive to my requests. We have a very positive professional working relationship with Engage and their staff. I can highly recommend the agency to other schools. "

Rachael Saim

"We thought iday was a well-organised event, we were provided with good advanced information that was updated regularly. It is a cost-effective approach to recruitment and a really useful pre-selection exercise. We were presented with good quality teachers, and are considering using iday again planning ahead for next years recruitment."

Andrea Twiggs

"I am pleased to provide a testimonial about the support I have received from Nicole Dunbar, recruitment consultant with Engage, since taking up the post of headteacher of Onslow St Audrey’s School in September 2022. I had previously worked with Nicole at St Clement Danes School where I was deputy headteacher (curriculum). At Onslow St Audrey’s Nicole has helped me successfully recruit five teachers from overseas across a range of subjects. The calibre of recruits has been high and Nicole and her team provide a good service. They are always open to how things can be improved and we are currently looking at negotiating a service level agreement with Engage across the Danes Educational Trust to cement our professional partnership. "

Julie Jones

"I am pleased to say that not only was ‘iday’ a great success, but the whole process was well organised and productive. The staff on the day we extremely helpful, visiting us regularly and ensuring we had everything we needed. The majority of candidates were of excellent quality and conducted themselves extremely well considering they had interviews all day. I would recommend it to any school or college looking for staff and we will be using it in the future. "

David Bridgeman

"So often do agencies and recruitment consultants, unfortunately, miss the key pointers that separate a good consultant from an excellent one. My consultant has managed to bridge this by paying attention to detail when listening to the requirements for each request. Also by understanding that although we are a New Academy, we are one that demands excellence. Fortunately, my consultant understands excellence and I believe they strive for this when at work and this comes through when dealing with them. "

Ian Boswell

"At Grange, we are a large school and consequently are often in need of good quality supply teachers. We book supply teachers from Nursery to Year 6 and have high expectations for them. We are grateful when we are able to book teachers who put the children first and themselves second. Thank you to Engage for supplying us with teachers of this calibre."

Karen Merison

"Stag Lane Junior School has been working with Engage Supply Agency for at least the last four years and we have been impressed by the service they provide and the calibre of teachers supplied. We have found the company to be very reliable and are able to deal with them with confidence as they value customer service and build up a strong relationship by using the same representative who becomes familiar with our needs and preferences. "

Pauline Jamieson

"'iday' was very worthwhile and I came across quality candidates. The process was very well managed by my consultant who kept me informed of how the day was going throughout, and ensured my schedule ran smoothly. We were delighted to be able to recruit from this process and the aftercare from my consultant has been great too. It is definitely something I would use again and I have already recommended ‘iday’ to other schools."

Simon Greiff

"From our very first conversation, my consultant has shown herself to be a hard-working professional who is committed to ensuring we receive the best possible staff available to fill specific vacancies. They have shown a thorough understanding of the needs of our secondary school in terms of recruitment and the type of staff members who will fit in with our teaching environment. I would recommend Engage Education and my consultant in particular to any school and would be happy to discuss any matters in more detail. "
