that you can get so much done. From a time management point of view it is
incredibly effective for us. So to come in and give one day… knowing you
have interviewed 8 candidates is hugely beneficial. Over the last few
months we have invested a lot of time and money attempting to recruit
mathematicians in the conventional way, and to be completely honest, we
have probably had more success today than we have had over the entire
period, so it has been very time and cost effective. There has been some
very high caliber spectrum of candidates put in front of us. iday matched if
not exceeded what we would see in a normal recruitment round.”

5. Clacton County High School, Kate Finch, Vice Principal

6. Farlingaye High, Cathy Laird, Assistant Head
“We think the matching up of teaches to subject has been
done really really well and professionally. It is a really good
idea to get everybody together knowing everybody wants
a job, just like for the schools, every ones knows that every
school here is keen to recruit. It is the first time we have
been to an iday and is a different way to recruit. From a
strategy point of view iday is useful in having it as an
addition to what we currently do. We would absolutely
recommend iday to other schools looking to recruit. Alex
was top- notch too.”

session which allows you to see the ones that you really want to speak or
talk to and see teach. And this cuts down on time. Here we can short list
down to a set you want to see very quickly. So far, and we have been to a
number of idays, generally teachers are very good and generally better than
if you were to go out through normal means. The consultant, Moynul works
well and is very very professional and gets the teachers we want. He is very
friendly and accommodating. We had last minute changes and looks it like
he was able to accommodate to that. iday is something I would 100%
recommend attending for other schools.”

8. North Oxfordshire Academy, Sara Billins, Head
Principal
“I found iday a well organised and well structured event and the candidates
that have been presented to me have been of high quality. I think it is a
different way of recruiting staff and think it is a very useful way of seeing a
number of teaches in one go in a way that does not disrupt a school day. I
have been very impressed with the quality of teachers I have seen today. In
terms of the standard of teaching, it is great. Barry has been very good with
talking to me very regularly and the pre-work has been very necessary. I
would certainly recommend iday to schools recruiting for multiple vacancies.
Next time I would bring someone with me.”

10. Icknield School, Harpreet & Kamron Ahmed, Head of
Maths
“I have found the iday very exciting. We have seen a variety of teachers for
both Maths and History and we have been able to show off our school to
them and they have been able to show off their skills to us. We have seen a
number of candidates and majority of them we would definitely want to see
again. The standard of candidates has been phenomenal and it’s been
difficult to choose between good and outstanding teachers. Definitely been
impressed.
Normally we put an advert out in the TES and follow procedure from there
and obviously that can take quite a while, whereas for here we have seen
multiple teachers for multiple vacancies all in one day. So for us it takes
away the time consuming element of interviewing because iday pre-screen
the candidates for us already. It is a constructive use of time. We have found

for me if preferably better and I would not want to tell other schools
because they’ll steel my teachers! Being a new bee, I found it a refreshing
way of recruiting. I have never had any experience like this before and it has
been very innovative. Liam is a gem and was a huge help today.”

14. Ormiston Rivers Academy, Alison Owens, Head
Teacher
“iday today was very good as usual and it’s nice to see gre
qualitcandidates and we always find that every time we come up for an
iday that iday has the right teacher portfolio and it really makes it worth our
while. This is the 5th iday we have been to. It is good that the candidates
have obviously been vetted by you prior to attendance. I am really
struggling today. I have seen 6 teachers, all of in which I could appoint, so
I’m thinking what teacher I shall bring back as a pose to do I have a
candidate. Simon is the best and constantly puts himself out for us; he comes
out to the school, he is constantly on the phone and likes to check that we it
very quickly. Simon has been absolutely terrific.”
