I was contacted directly by TeacherActive's 'talent acquisition' and after a chat on the phone was offered an interview. The interview itself was around 40 minutes and was asked a few questions on my background and what would make me suitable on recruitment. I felt I had given a good interview and demonstrated why I would be a suitable. I had no qualms with the interview however the 'feedback' provided was disgraceful from a company which is supposed to specialize in recruitment. Certainly given the fact this was a role I had not directly applied for. I was simply told "the interviewer liked your energy but felt this might be 'too big a step for you' without any reasoning as to how the company had come to this decision. This was a role with a lower salary to positions I have previously held. I asked the recruiter if they could provide more in depth feedback with regards to this to receive a response of "not really, we don't really provide more feedback" before shortly after rather bluntly ending the phone call when I had said this was not feedback I entirely understood without further reasoning. The recruiters do not provide you with a job spec and simply provide you with a link to the companies LinkedIn page. There is not much assistance with preparing for the interview (although in fairness this is not something I had asked for) I was more than willing to accept that I may have been unsuccessful but the manner in which the company dealt with this thus far has been appalling.

Attended the hiring day, which provided a detailed overview of education recruitment, including insights into the role, a CV review to assess candidate suitability, and scenario-based questions testing communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills.
