Earlier this year the ABC News called the Australian teacher shortages a ‘generational crisis in the making’, caused by a complex mix of factors from general employment opportunities to political tensions.
Schools are struggling to retain quality teachers
Teacher shortages have also been strongly attributed to heavy workloads, where teachers are struggling to find time to manage, plan, and review student learning. The crisis has resulted in the Department of Education developing an action plan. It sets out a pathway to address the shortage which pointed out how teacher workloads play a part with many other issues.
Supporting Australian schools to recruit
To help during this crisis, Tes is currently offering 10 free job adverts to schools in Australia who sign up to Tes Job Advertising. The platform hosts the world’s largest network of teachers, alongside education software, services and tools made specifically for school recruitment.
This gives schools another route to help them tackle the ongoing teacher shortage crisis in Australia during a time where they are going to be recruiting for the next academic year.
Technology can support hiring processes
Reducing time spent on recruitment is also an important feature of our job advertising platform which gives schools access to the Application Tracking System (ATS). Not only does our ATS help reduce time spent on recruitment, it also gives schools control of every stage of the hiring process.
Making it less time-consuming to hire staff
With mounting pressure on schools to hire staff, but a reduced amount quality candidates, talented teachers will likely be interviewing at numerous schools. Worst-case scenario is they've already accepted a job offer by the time you interview them. From collaborating with colleagues on the hiring process to easily managing reference requests, our dedicated education recruitment platform can ensure those high-quality candidates are brought into the interview process sooner.
“Recruitment hasn’t been easy recently with the teacher shortages and we want to help connect schools in Australia to a dedicated platform with the world's largest network of educators. Adverting with us can help schools over 14,500 educators a month looking for jobs.” said Brett Engeman, Managing Director for Tes Australia.
Tes Job Advertising is a part of our recruitment services, which includes a range of recruitment options to suit every need and every budget we can help you with hard to fill roles, leadership positions and tools to attract the right candidates.
