What are Talent Pools?

College and Regional Talent Pools are an innovative new concept which has been introduced by FEjobs in order to simplify recruitment and drive down costs for colleges.

As a recruiter you will now be able to set up your own college Talent Pool to attract jobseekers looking for teaching jobs. Once this has been done, candidates can join and submit their information which gives you access to great quality candidates all year round.

Why have we introduced Talent Pools?

Here at FEjobs we recognise that education recruitment is changing and at a time when companies should be working with colleges, not against them, that is exactly what we're doing.

We understand that cost can be a major factor affecting how colleges recruit teachers and are committed to keeping the cost of recruitment to a minimum. As a result of this, FEjobs is offering our College and Regional Talent Pools to Premium Licence Holders for free, meaning that everyone can benefit from the service regardless of their budget.

Why should you set up your own College Talent Pool?

We have worked hard to ensure that Talent Pools are a valuable and cost effective method for colleges to recruit teachers. Listed below are just some of the advantages of setting up a Talent Pool for your college.

• Candidates can join College and Regional Talent Pools all year round regardless of whether colleges are recruiting at that time or not. This means that when you need a new member of staff, rather than start the expensive and time consuming task of finding someone new, you can access the list of jobseekers already listed in your Talent Pool.
• Talent Pools are an excellent way for your college to find great quality, enthusiastic candidates because people who have joined are expressing a particular desire to work for you.
• College and Regional Talent Pools can help to save time and money because they consist of a database of potential employees, thus eliminating the need for expensive vacancy advertising.
• Our new service allows colleges to effectively and continuously encourage membership of their Talent Pool and follow up on interest shown by teachers with the right skills and experience.
