From 2015 to 2025: How We Built 10 Years of Recruitment Success

10 Years of Connecting People in Education

A decade of strong business is a significant milestone, but we couldn’t have got here without the help of our valued clients and successful recruits.

Our journey began with two Recruiters covering Construction within the education sector, with Rupert Barwick now serving as Associate Director after being here from day one. Over time, as we worked closely with our clients, we noticed a growing demand to expand across other sectors. Today, we proudly support further education and commercial training providers, offering expertise in a broad range of subjects, including Construction, Engineering, Business and IT, Service to Business industries, Functional Skills, Academic subjects and all Care.

We Became Sector Specialists

At Education StaffBank, we understand that education is too important to approach with a generalised strategy. Our clients required experienced Consultants with close ties to each industry. Rather than simply “dipping our toes” in new markets, we committed to finding and training specialists for the markets our clients needed. Developing a team with deeper expertise in given industries, ensures that every placement can be tailored to your specifications.

Helping You Deliver Results

You can’t fit a round peg in a square hole.

Rather than sending just any valid candidate, recruitment agencies should listen to the expectations of their client. Education providers always know what’s best for their students, which is why we value these expectations. Whether the member of staff needs to fit the college’s culture, hold specific qualifications or meet your budget, we always want to collaborate on getting you the ideal candidate.

Over the years, we have built a strong network of talented educators through repeat business and a deep understanding of the right candidate for the role. Due to this collaborative attitude with clients, we’ve grown through 10 years of the evolving education landscape, from workforce shortages to shifting funding priorities, working alongside institutions to secure top-tier educators.

One of our latest initiatives addresses the shortage of lecturers by assisting tradespeople in transitioning into education. By helping skilled professionals move into teaching roles, we’re supporting a steady pipeline of qualified educators into colleges, ready to shape the future of learning.

Keeping Things Simple

A decade of working within the education sector has taught us that efficiency is key. As an education provider, your time is important for continuing the high performance of your organisation. Instead, we’ve taken on feedback to refine our processes and remove hassle, making your hiring process straightforward. Whether it’s through leveraging our network and experience, or with the help of our in-house vetting team, we’re experts in finding quality candidates at pace. Meanwhile, your team can continue to focus on delivering the best experience for your students.

What Our Clients Have to Say

The education sector has evolved significantly over the years, and we’ve adapted alongside it. Our longevity in recruitment isn’t just a matter of perseverance, it speaks to the importance of collaborating closely with our clients.

But don’t just take our word for it, our satisfied clients speak for themselves:

“[Education StaffBank]’s response time is second to none with queries I have had, answering, and communicating information.

They are still very much customer-focused with regards to the human factor and if they are unable to answer the phone, they will call back in a timely manner. These days this is a rare commodity. I would highly recommend to any company searching for temporary or permanent staff.”

– Jacqui, Welfare Manager

“I've had the pleasure of working with Rupert for several years now. His dedication to finding suitable temporary cover for Construction trades at our college has been invaluable. Rupert is incredibly reliable, always ensuring that he refers candidates who meet our specific needs.”

– John, Curriculum Manager

“I am impressed with the vetting and screening carried out by Education StaffBank. Safeguarding and vetting information is crucial when taking on temporary staff and I feel that Education StaffBank has this in mind.”

– Emily, HR Manager
