We recently spoke with Daiju Vithayathil, Secondary School Principal at Panyaden International School, about his experience using Schrole.
Finding Schrole
Panyaden International School has been using Schrole’s Connect and Engage products for four years, initially motivated by the need to reduce the cost of international teacher recruitment. “The team from Schrole took us through a demo, and we were immediately impressed,” says Daiju Vithayathil.
“The user-friendly interface and intuitive design of the platform have simplified our hiring process tremendously. We can now effortlessly navigate through a vast pool of candidates and instantly access comprehensive profiles, including qualifications, experience, and references from previous employers. It was love at first sight.”
Schrole’s tools have transformed the way Panyaden approaches recruitment, making the process more efficient and streamlined.
Achieving success with Schrole
One of the standout features of Schrole, according to Vithayathil, is its advanced filtering capabilities. “We can easily customise our search criteria to match our specific requirements, ensuring that we find candidates who align perfectly with our school’s needs and values,” he explains.
The quality of the teacher profile view and the ease of navigating Schrole’s site have also been key benefits. Beyond this, the platform has significantly enhanced collaboration among the hiring team. “Schrole’s cloud-based platform allows multiple stakeholders to access and evaluate candidate profiles simultaneously, enhancing communication and expediting the decision-making process. We can now seamlessly share feedback, discuss potential candidates, and collectively make informed choices,” Vithayathil adds.
An unexpected but welcome benefit has been a reduction in the overall average cost of recruiting for the school.
Recommending Schrole to other international schools
Vithayathil is enthusiastic in his recommendation of Schrole to other international schools. “I cannot stress enough the impact this platform has had on the overall quality of educators we have recruited,” he says.
“By leveraging its powerful search capabilities, comprehensive candidate profiles, and advanced tools, we have successfully identified exceptional teachers who have had an immeasurable impact on our students’ lives. Their passion, dedication, and innovative teaching methodologies have elevated the standard of education at our school and ignited a love for learning among our students.”
His confidence in Schrole is reflected in his perfect rating: “10 out of 10.”
When we had a teacher decide to take another job in mid-July, we were left with few options. Historically, it was a tough position to fill. Within 24 hours of posting the position on Schrole, we were able to offer a contract to a more-qualified educator.
