Why data matters
- How can your school stay competitive in a rapidly evolving recruitment market?
- How do you know if your salary and benefits package is attractive?
- At what stage are candidates dropping out of your pipeline, and why?
- Are you reaching the right teachers for your subject, location, or ethos?
- How can you forecast recruitment needs and costs when opening a new school?
How we help

We gather data from three primary sources:
- Monitoring of every recruitment step on our platform – from vacancy to application, interview, and hire
- Information provided directly by teachers, leaders and on their profile pages
- Proactive research through surveys and interviews with teachers and leaders, on topics such as retention, remote and hybrid learning, and benefits preferences.

Questions our reports answer
Our tailored reports and targeted surveys help schools answer questions such as:
- Are our salaries and benefits competitive? We benchmark packages for teachers, leaders, and support staff against schools in your city, region, and across the globe so you can set budgets with confidence.
- Where do candidates drop out of the hiring process, and how can we shorten time-to-hire? We map every stage from application to acceptance and highlight pinch points that slow recruitment.
- Who is applying to our roles, and are we reaching the right people? We analyse applicant demographics, qualification routes, and subject expertise to refine your outreach.
- What do teachers think about our culture, well-being provision, and contract offer? Pulse surveys capture the perceptions that influence acceptance, performance, and retention.
- Is our recruitment strategy aligned with the school’s long-term goals? Evidence-based recommendations and optional consultancy support ensure your approach remains mission-aligned.
We also run themed studies on retention, hybrid learning, and other emerging issues, giving you timely insight ahead of sector trends. If you have different questions in mind, let us know and we will tailor the analysis to fit your needs.
We also offer regular insights on emerging issues through targeted surveys on teacher retention, hybrid learning, well-being, and more.
