Best Companies | Engage Partners Company Profile

A bright contemporary workspace and a vibrant atmosphere has been created at Engage Partners to ensure staff look forward to coming to work each day.

The international education recruitment agency was founded in Watford, Hertfordshire, in 2008, with the goal of shaking up dull and old-fashioned recruitment practices. Since then, it has expanded to offices in London, Watford, Brighton and Leeds. Globally, it has a presence in Australia, South Africa, Canada, and Ireland.

Since 2008 Engage Partners has filled 102,437 teaching positions in the UK. Its iday events have attracted 1,032 international teachers. Idays allow schools to match teaching vacancies with pre-screened candidates, allowing them to find and interview potential staff all on one day, in one place.

The company has won a string of awards, including EducationInvestor's Recruitment Service of the Year several times. It has also appeared on the London Stock Exchange's 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain list.

Its innovative approach is built around giving teachers what they need to shine. It believes it is the most trusted international recruitment agency because of the company mindset that upholds the idea that happy and supported people do their best work.
