We recently spoke with Joe Lumsden, Secondary School Principal at Stonehill International School, to discuss his experience using Schrole.

Finding Schrole

Stonehill International School began its journey with Schrole Connect just last year, during what turned out to be a particularly challenging recruitment season.

“We were exploring more avenues to strengthen our recruitment process,” Joe Lumsden explains. “What ultimately convinced us to choose Schrole was the exceptional customer service, the modern and intuitive online platform, the absence of placement fees, and the potential benefits of the other Schrole products we may explore in the future.”

The decision to partner with Schrole was not taken lightly, but the advantages of using Schrole Connect quickly became apparent.

Success with Schrole

Since integrating Schrole Connect into its recruitment strategy, Stonehill has successfully filled several positions, despite the difficulties of the past year. “The ease of posting openings and the user-friendly dashboard are some of the best features of Schrole,” notes Lumsden. “And the caliber of candidates registered on the platform is quite impressive.”

What truly exceeded expectations, however, was the level of customer service provided by Schrole. “The customer service is very strong. We particularly appreciated the updates on openings around the world each month, and the list of potential candidates for our openings that Schrole sent to us in March. This allowed us to hire one more quality candidate.”

Recommending Schrole to other international schools

Lumsden is enthusiastic about recommending Schrole to other international schools. “I would recommend it. The candidate profiles seem slightly different from those on other recruitment databases, and the customer service is terrific. It seems that Schrole is leading the way in moving teacher recruitment into the 2020s.”

His confidence in Schrole is reflected in his high rating: “9 out of 10.”
