How do we do our job?

EduShine, with more than 7 years of expertise as the best education recruitment agency in India, has a proven track record of assisting some of the most prestigious Institutions and elearning companies with project recruitment.

The six steps for placing permanent talent as part of a recruitment project are detailed below. Practicing a research driven approach keeps us standing apart in the Higher Education sector and below is the idea we tend to follow with a team of specialized professionals.

1) Discovery & Define

The discovery process serves two purposes: 1) to establish the skills, experience and competencies essential for achieving the objective and 2) to define the client’s mission and values.

2) Search & Identify

With the situation and requirements clearly established, the next phase is to analyse the market – talent mapping – to identify the calibre of candidates and the  location where they reside. Talent mapping serves to reduce lead times, ensuring the geographic scope is sufficient in size to headhunt A-players while generating insight into how best to approach them.

3) Qualify & Access

The approach aims to establish whether there is sufficient interest in the role and pre screen candidates based on the minimum requirements – e.g. whether they have a visa to work in the country. Providing candidates are interested and sufficiently qualified for the position,  comprehensive qualification assessment including competency and technical based questioning designed to match a candidate’s skills, experience and competencies against the job specification will follow

4) Select & Shortlist

Following qualification, those candidates who skills, experience and values best match the job specification are presented to the client for consideration, together with their CV and any supporting information that can assist the client in their selection. 

5) Guide & Influence

Candidates successful at shortlisting will enter the interview phase. It is in the best interest of the recruitment project provider to diligently brief and prepare their candidates ahead of the interview, giving them the best possible chance of success. 

6) Close & Feedback

The final milestone in the search process, the successful candidate(s) will be made a job offer providing their background and reference checks gives the green light. Any A-player in their industry worth their salt will be made a counter-offer, so many recruitment project providers provide full offer management to include the handling of counter offers and the provision of post-offer support.

Following the successful conclusion, we seek feedback on the hiring process from all candidates who interviewed with our client. This information is fed back to the key stakeholders, enabling their client to hone their hiring process and alerting them to potential issues which could adversely affect the candidate experience and impact employer brand. And this practice has helped us evolve as the best education recruitment consultant in India.

Educational institutions across the world gain recognition based on the quality of their academic leadership. Securing the brightest academic talent is the biggest challenge for education Institutions across the world.

And that’s why Academic Search is considered as the most appropriate route to a successful appointment.
