recruitment service. The Directors and owners are Alisdair Low and Johan Venter.

his first degree in History at the University College of Wales. He has taught in mainstream primary and secondary schools

in London as well as spending 3 years teaching severely autistic pupils in a Hatton School in Redbridge East London.

Having spent 10 years in Educational Recruitment as an Award Winning Senior Manager for large national agencies, such

decided to start his own company to provide schools and colleges with a more bespoke service and a personal touch.

mobile telephone industry, which he helped to develop in a successful national business with 45 employees and 15

branches. Arriving in England, Johan worked as a Teaching Assistant in various schools in London eventually being

promoted to SENCO Assistant. This position lead him into the Educational Recruitment Sector where he became one of

the most successful consultants nationally, at Protocol Education.

With his knowledge of Teaching and experience in education recruitment he decided to join Alisdair in business to provide

schools and teachers with an affordable more personal recruitment service.

Alisdair Low Managing Director

Croydon, and this particular school found it very difficult to recruit 3 staff:

an English Teacher, a Maths Teacher and a SENCO.

The school had already spent far too much on supply teachers that only tended to stay for

a few weeks as they found the travelling difficult. This disrupted the pupils’ work and the

lack of continuity was very unsettling.

In order to match the right teachers to the school, Alisdair our Managing Director and London

trained teacher spent a day at the school, to get a “feel” for the culture of the school.

Cohort Education agreed to advertise free of charge on industry websites and national media, shortlisting to the school’s specifications.

As we are recruiting daily for schools, we are very aware of the best internet sites to advertise on, and where to find teaching staff.

We shortlisted the teachers, interviewed them, fully cleared them in terms of references and CRB checks and right to work in the U.K and sent them to the school for a trial day at no cost.

RESULT! Yes! It worked. The school wanted all 3 teachers.

Now came the COST factor.

The school had been paying up to £189 a day for supply teachers.

That came to £2835 per week – or £11,340 per month.

Cohort Education agreed that the school would payroll the teachers pro rata on a salary of £25,000 and that we would just invoice £500 per teacher per month – with no perm fee if they were taken on at the end of the term.

This bespoke agreement reduced the school’s recruitment costs by almost £4000 per month
