How does the Emmaus service actually work?

The key to our service is simplicity and relieving you of the hassle and administration of recruitment. When you have a vacancy just contact us at www.emmausrecruitment.comor on 01737 652 043.

We will ask you to send us your logo and details of your school so we can create your dedicated micro site. We then promote your vacancy using a variety of online and offline channels appropriate to your vacancy such as TES and our own Newsletter going out to over 7000 Church Schools.

We then handle candidate queries and support/encourage them with their application.

All applications are logged and forwarded onto you.

You then shortlist, interview, then appoint.

Schools that use our service find it quicker, more efficient and cost effective and most importantly, it delivers a more comprehensive and better quality short list.

Our Church School customers love our service, and love the great value with our low prices and we are very happy to provide references.

Ok, but why should my school use you?

Our customers tell us they love:

Ease of use – we design our service around you. After you use it once, you’ll be amazed how easy it was.

Time – 5 minutes is it all takes to load your vacancy details, and then just wait to review the applications as they come in. Often the time to appoint is shorter than you are used to too.

Effectiveness – our service works, especially when compared to conventional recruitment methods and the schools that have used our service have really seen the benefits. And candidates love the service we offer too with clear instructions, a straightforward application process and dedicated help and support only a phone call or quick email away.

Value – best of all is the value we offer and the real savings compared to others. Most importantly, we stay with you until the vacancy is filled. No extra costs if you don’t fill your vacancy first time around.

Profile – your school enhances its profile via high visibility marketing and being associated with being a leading user of an innovative but trusted supplier employing online smartly.

Good for Church Schools – lastly, rest assured that using our system supports Church Schools nationwide and opens up the recruitment market to an innovative and openly Christian company aligned with Church School values and ethos.

What do I need to do once we sign up?

Only three things:

1. Choose the service package that is right for you

• - upload your school and vacancy details on our website

2. Assess the applications as they come in

• - decide who to shortlist and arrange those interviews directly
• - forward us brief feedback on applicants that weren’t shortlisted so we can help them get it right next time

3. Conduct interviews

• - decide on candidate and appoint 

And this is what you WON’T need to do.

• - Write copy for the advertisement
• - Deal with TES
• - Handle candidate enquiries (unless you’d prefer to)
• - Send out application packs
• - Manage the process
• - Worry about cost – we work on a fixed fee agreed upfront with guaranteed fulfilment
• - Be uncertain if the ad will generate candidates – we advertise more visibly, more often and in more place than any school will do on its own. And we also notify all relevant candidates already registered with us of your vacancy.

Who handles candidate enquiries?

We do (unless of course you prefer to do this yourself) and manage applicant interactions until you decide who to shortlist. And because we believe in the importance of supporting and nurturing every candidate who comes into contact with us, we believe our dedicated Account Managers play a vital role in building rapport and genuinely serving the best interests of both candidate and school for mutual benefit.
