We spoke to Bea Porter, Resourcing, Payroll and OD Lead at Reach South Academy Trust, about how they can quickly moderate and post job adverts using MyNewTerm
“Before we started using MyNewTerm, a lot of our systems were paper-based and, across 17 schools, this is a large volume of work. We really needed a system that would streamline our processes, make it more efficient, more electronic and easy to use. That’s exactly what MyNewTerm did. It revolutionised our recruitment process by having everything in one system, in one place.”
“If we hadn’t partnered with MyNewTerm, I see our organisation still having quite a slow recruitment process.”
“As I mentioned, we comprise 17 academies and we advertise a lot of vacancies across those schools. MyNewTerm has a job moderation function which allows our school colleagues the responsibility of posting their own adverts and then us as a central team moderating and approving those. That function has made getting adverts out live so much quicker in comparison to before MyNewTerm and it’s giving our school colleagues the benefits of using the system as well.”
“The direct benefits we’ve noticed since implementing MyNewTerm is not only the number of applications we’ve been receiving, but the quality. We’ve had multiple campaigns over the last couple of years where we are filling our vacancies not only quicker, but the number of times we have to re-advertise vacancies has significantly reduced. MyNewTerm is attracting candidates from wider pools so we can fill vacancies quicker for our schools.”
“I would recommend MyNewTerm without a doubt. It’s completely revolutionised our recruitment services and made it time-saving and completely straightforward.”
“The Job Moderation service within the system is great for Multi Academy Trusts with multiple schools because it gives your school colleagues responsibility over their adverts and gives them vacancy data they might not have had access to before.”
“If you’re a central team dealing with recruitment, I would also say the Talent Pool function is amazing. You’ve got a pool of candidates there that you might not have had access to before. You can guarantee that you will always be appointed for whatever vacancy you are advertising for.”
“We also love that Wayne and his team are always looking to develop the system and, just over the past two years, we’ve seen multiple developments that have made the system so much easier to use, but also given us data that we didn’t have before.”
“We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with MyNewTerm over the past two years and we cannot wait to see what the next few years have in store.”
