ENGAGE AND COMMUNICATE WITH APPLICANTS MORE EFFECTIVELY.
Better Communication. Better Hiring.
Looking for the best applicants?
So are all the districts around you — which means it’s crucial that your recruitment efforts make your schools stand out. It’s all about how you present your school district to job-seekers, and showcase the amazing things happening in your classrooms. You need to ensure that applicants see the best parts of the district — all of the innovation happening across the district, the fantastic school culture and the great benefits or perks offered to employees.
But first, you need to find and engage with potential candidates.
Frontline Recruiting & Hiring can help.
Frontline Recruiting & Hiring helps you make sure that you’re attracting and engaging with top educators, as well as showing why your school system is such a fantastic place to work. And the fact that our solution helps you save time throughout the hiring process certainly helps, too!
“Frontline provides the products that allow us to do our job much more efficiently and it allows us to focus our energy and attention on meeting candidates and building personal relationships. It’s no longer about tracking them, it’s no longer about the actual filling out of applications — it’s all done for you. We now spend our time choosing, going through applications and choosing the best candidates, making sure we spend our time meeting candidates rather than pushing paperwork around on a desk.”
– Mark Benigni, Superintendent, Meriden Public Schools
Reach more applicants.
When you have an open position, Frontline Recruiting & Hiring helps you get the word out to top candidates. You’ll get unlimited access to advertising positions on K12JobSpot, the top job board in education, broadening your reach and deepening your applicant pools to make it easier to find the candidates you need — even for harder-to-fill positions in STEM, special education, and more. We provide unlimited access to advertising positions on K12JobSpot, the top job board in education. Plus, you can easily post jobs to social media like Facebook or Twitter with just a click of a button. And if you're out at job fairs, you can use the system there, too, to capture applicant interest or even let them quickly start an application right then and there.
“What we found is through Frontline Recruiting & Hiring and increasing the level of advertising for our vacant positions, we're seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants depending on the position. Like for Elementary Education positions, for example. What Frontline Recruiting & Hiring has done is allow us to filter through the thousands of applications by using various filters… We're able to narrow down the pool to a manageable group, and then we can screen those candidates, setup the interview process, make the phone calls. It's all in one.” – David Healy, Superintendent, Toms River Regional School District
“We recently found a Special Education candidate from another state who wanted to relocate to our area. The candidate found out about us through an email campaign we did, and she even expressed how much she appreciated seeing our emails.” – Natasha Wright, Director of Human Resources, Berkeley County School District
Recruit proactively.
Data shows that 81% of educators are open to new opportunities, even if they’re not actively searching for a new job. That means, you need to go beyond just posting on job boards and social media, where you’re only reaching active job-seekers. You
need to proactively reach out, engage with those educators and show them why they should be working for your district.
Our solution gives you access to the largest pool of K-12 educators, administrators and service personnel, including
over 500,000 certified teachers. You can create customized, ongoing campaigns to reach out to existing and new users who meet your specific requirements — that means that you can reach the right educators sooner, which can make all the difference when you’re competing with other districts for talent, letting you recruit while you sleep. Plus, you can see who has viewed your job postings and
send personalized application invitations to qualified job-seekers, encouraging them to explore opportunities within your organization.
Make a great first impression.
To make sure that you’re leaving a great first impression, you can customize job postings and embed any videos or images that best capture your district’s culture and brand. See three examples of great teacher job postings.
You can make sure that your district puts its best foot forward with automated recruitment campaigns and personalized messaging that show prospective applicants why they should want to work in your district. This is your opportunity to provide even more information about your district and show why the best educators should want to work for you. It's the perfect opportunity to build your district brand as an employer and attract candidates who are qualified and a great cultural fit. And to aid your recruiting efforts, this will help job-seekers easily find openings in your district that they can apply to. Plus, when they do apply, they’re sure to be impressed by how easy the process is.
“Our board is very much focused on communicating with people, especially community members, and we have a lot of applicants who are community members. They want to make sure that we're always communicating and getting back to our candidates as quickly as possible, and Frontline Recruiting & Hiring has taken away that barrier of that being an issue. People are always being kept in the loop as to where we are in the hiring process. So if an applicant isn’t getting a first round interview, they know that within a shorter period of time than before, where they were just sitting out there and hoping.” – Dr. Lindsay Pfister, Director of Human Resources, West Jefferson Hills School District
Better communication with candidates.
It’s hard to engage with candidates if you don’t have an easy way to communicate with them. Frontline Recruiting & Hiring makes it easy to see all of the information about each applicant right within their candidate profile and directly contact them if you would like to engage with them further. If you decide to bring a candidate in for an interview, our solution can help with that, too. Frontline Recruiting & Hiring automates the interview scheduling process, eliminating the need to play phone tag.
Plus, you can improve communication at scale by sending emails to multiple applicants at once. For example, you may wish to thank new applicants for their interest in your district and providing them with an overview of your hiring process — or you may want to notify them that you have chosen another candidate for the position.
The Next Step: Automated Onboarding
What if you didn't have to start the onboarding process by sending out a packet of paper forms because your software did it for you? When you have both Frontline Recruiting & Hiring and Frontline Central, you can eliminate the manual data entry that often stalls the onboarding process. Your new hires can fill out everything electronically, and you can track their progress along the way so that they are ready to go on day one.
It's the sort of thing that will make you wonder how you ever got through each onboarding season without it.
“I can also be in contact with candidates, so if we have an interview that we're scheduling and it's Monday, they're able to communicate with me and I'm able to communicate with them right through the recruiting and hiring system. I can answer their questions if they have a demonstration question so that they're not coming in flustered and worried. I'm always able to access the system from anywhere and still continue to do work, without having to run back to my office and sit right there to do everything.” – Dr. Lindsay Pfister
