- YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT RECRUITING
This is a common complaint; however, we find that most schools do not utilise our CV database. Xpressteachers markets its services on the basis of schools having FREE access to our CV database. The onus is therefore, on schools to access this and select candidates that meet their search criteria. We offer a FREE service, so are unable to browse and forward CVs onto schools. We currently have over 2,800 candidates and counting on our database. Once your school’s vacancies are posted on our platform you have free access to these CV’s.
- CANDIDATES DO NOT TURN UP FOR INTERVIEWS
Xpressteachers provides a platform which connects schools to employees seeking employment. We do not get involved in the recruitment process at any further stage. We totally understand the frustrations of schools arranging interviews and candidates not turning up. On our part we do our utmost to ensure that we advise our members on the importance of always maintaining professional conduct in line with the profession.
One thing you can do asides sending an email or texting the candidate, you can also put a call through to the candidate, hence, you have a direct feedback channel.
- YOU RECRUIT BUT CANDIDATES DO NOT STAY
This is a frequent problem and hence the creation of a platform like Xpressteachers. A common complaint from teachers is the inability of schools to pay a reasonable amount in terms of staff salary. With the current economic situation of the country, teachers should be compensated in accordance with the tremendous work they do, which is educating the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and educators. Teachers are the foundation of the schools and as such will go to schools which value their expertise and contributions.
- WE DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO BROWSE YOUR CV DATABASE
Many schools due to their busy schedules do not have the time to browse, but the beauty of Xpressteachers is that it is accessible 24/7. Once you have access to our CV database you can browse at your own convenience for as long as the duration of your vacancy. Applicants also can apply directly to your vacancies, so schools should look out for these applications via email notifications. It is quite unfortunate when applicants take out time to apply for a school’s vacancy and the school fails to acknowledge the applicant’s application, even if it is to decline.
- MOST CANDIDATES BASED IN LAGOS
This is not true. We have over 2800 registered CVs and if schools browse our CV database, you will observe that we have a varied range of candidates across the 36 states.
So, do not be discouraged by all these reasons. Several schools have been able to recruit via our platform and you also should. The key is taking out time to browse our CV database as we have and still making consistent effort in getting very good CVs.
