Engage Education Testimonials

  • School

"I am the Head of School at a school in Sutton. Elisha has worked tirelessly on my behalf in seeking out effective class teachers to work in my school for both daily supply and long term supply. She is extremely hardworking and always pursues as many avenues available to her to find teachers. Elisha has made it her business to understand the needs of my school and to find teachers that will be effective. She has made visits to my school to meet with me and the Engage teachers that are placed here to ensure that our working relationship is successful. She is very enthusiastic about her job which is demonstrated through her conscientious approach to supporting my school."

"I have been working at Engage since January and all staff have been really helpful and I have had work every day. In particular, Elisha Grillo has been amazing, really understanding and has sent me to some great schools. I am really grateful for all her help and look forward to continue working with her!"

"We have worked with Bhupesh for over a year as we have conducted a major recruitment drive at the Academy. Bhupesh worked hard to develop good customer relations and was always available to assist in meeting our recruitment needs. As is the case with all recruitment agencies, not all candidates offered, both domestic and oversees, end up being suitable, however, a number of the candidates that Bhupesh has found are still with the academy are continue to have successful careers."

"I have worked with Bhupesh through Engage for over a year now. Bhupesh was able to provide us with a much higher quality of service and candidate than what we experienced previously. It is not normal for us to take on new agencies or go back to old ones however Bhupesh assured us that he would be able to provide us with the outstanding candidates that our school required. He did not disappoint and we now use Engage as one of our first go-to agencies for short and long-term supply. We have given Engage the most business in the past year and that is due to the amount of high calibre staff that Bhupesh is able to source for us. He understands we have high expectations and will not send anyone if he feels they are not strong enough. If anything changes regarding a booking he always keeps us in the loop and has alternative options available immediately."

Anytime I have needed advice or help I have been able to text grace and she has answered me in less than 5 minutes every time, she does her best to help me with anything I need. Looking forward to working alongside grace even more in the future and I am very grateful for her genuine support."

"I'd like to express my gratitude to Grace for her endless hard work trying to find myself work with Engage. It's not been easy from the start due to my previous employers being difficult, Grace hasn't taken no for an answer and has tried so many different avenues to make the process as easy as possible for me. And most importantly kept my updated along the way. Grace has given me the opportunity to do valuable training (Team Teach) even though I'm not in a placement yet. I've meet a few of the employees at Engage Martin and donito! And I must say they are a true credit to the company. I feel like Grace goes that extra mile to ensure I feel valued and not forgotten. Thank you Grace."

"As I start my third week in my permanent job, I want to say a big thank you for all your support Charlie. You have been a great consultant. During my five terms in my school, you regularly contacted me to check that all is fine and if I’m happy in my school. I always felt I could give you a call if I had any concerns. I felt you where honest with me when I had some doubts and I felt better after a phone call with you! Thank you Charlie I wish you all the best."

"I spent the last year working with Engage Education in London, UK. The company was a pleasure to work with and did everything possible to ensure that I had full time employment during the year. Both my Canadian consultant Laura Hamilton and my UK consultant Charlie Muir were exceptional and made the experience the best it could have been. Charlie not only ensured that I was getting work at my preferred schools but he was also always available to answer any questions or help however he could. The experience I gained teaching in the UK will be an asset to me throughout my career especially at my new job teaching in northern Saskatchewan."

"Engage ‘found’ me through a job I had applied to online and it was one of the best things that happened to my teaching career because it introduced me to Alice. I am quite wary of agencies as they tend to treat you as an object rather than a person but Engage has proven otherwise. Alice is not only the best at her job but she is also a lovely human-being. She called to check-in with me throughout the whole process, from interviewing to even calling on the first day at my new school to make sure I was ok and ready. She’s hands down the reason I love Engage. She’s got my best interest at heart and works tirelessly communicating back and forth my needs to the school I currently work at. Thank you for changing my views on Agency work. You are amazing!"

"At St James’, we’ve worked with Alice King of Engage for the last year or so. From the initial meeting, I found Alice to be a very warm professional consultant, taking time to learn more about our school, our ethos and to really understand what we look for in potential candidates. Since that meeting Alice, has demonstrated that she took on board our views as the candidates that have been put forward have fit our profile and where the right candidate is not available for our school, Alice has had the integrity to say that she doesn’t have anyone suitable. We have found this to be a refreshing approach, given that other recruitment consultants have often put forward unsuitable candidates that have ultimately proven to be a waste of everyone’s time. Those candidates that have interviewed at the school, have clearly been well prepared and have a clear understanding of our school and its requirements. Of course, not every candidate has been successful and where it hasn’t worked out, Alice is understanding of our position whilst being keen to get feedback so that she can support the candidate for other opportunities. During my time working with Alice I have found her to be very responsive to our queries or requests for help, always returning messages and making suggestions to address any matters arising. Our experience in working with her has led to a sense of mutual trust and respect."
