HR software
A Connect user since Schrole’s inception, British International School, Phuket (BISP) has been a long-time advocate for our international school software solutions. We recently sat down with School Headmaster, Simon Meredith, to learn about his experience using Schrole.
A recruitment solution that’s simple and easy to use
BISP was initially approached by Schrole and offered a free trial to try out our recruitment platform, Connect.
An advanced applicant tracking, rating, and sorting system, Connect has been created specifically to meet the unique needs of international schools and groups that generate large applicant volumes. As an international school, you have the choice of linking it to our database of 190,000+ international educators, or using it as a stand-alone HR platform linked to your school website.
For Simon and the wider BISP team, Connect stood out thanks to its user-friendly features.
“We found Connect to be simple to use and it had all the information we needed displayed clearly and professionally. Schrole stood out due to their online portal being so thorough and well set out; and Schrole support staff being so reliable and prompt to reply to any problems or questions.
“It was expensive at the time, but worth it! Schrole is easy to use and their customer support and provision has exceeded our expectations.”
Helping BISP to achieve its recruitment goals
Since starting with Connect, BISP has noticed a significant improvement in its recruitment practices.
“Schrole has helped us to achieve efficiency and professionalism in recruiting. Schrole’s system and service is professional and represents a high standard. If you’re an international school considering Schrole, they’ll help you take your recruitment standards to the highest level.”
Due to their success with Connect, British International School, Phuket has signed up to Engage, which they will start using imminently.
Created to provide a consistent and professional experience for all newly hired staff and faculty, Engage replaces onboarding spreadsheets, document folders, checklists and email trails. Engage allows international schools to create customisable pathways that reflect the requirements for each teaching group (expat staff/leadership roles/local hires) that identifies, step by step, what needs to be done and when.
Take your recruitment standards to the highest level with Schrole
Asked to describe Schrole in one word, Simon was clear. “Professional. Our staff now have a tool to make recruitment smoother and more professional, and use the system and quickly and regularly.”
When queried on a scale of 1-10 how likely British International School, Phuket would be to recommend Schrole to other international schools, the answer comes easy, “10.”
Interested in learning how Schrole can help your international school?
Since signing up with Schrole we have been very impressed by the customer service, the modern-looking online platform, the absence of placement fees, and the various other Schrole products that we may be able to benefit from in the future. We have filled a number of positions this year with candidates from Schrole, during a particularly difficult recruitment year for us. The customer service is terrific. It seems that Schrole is leading the way in moving teacher recruitment into the 2020's.
