What people have to say about EdEx

Within a week of joining EdEx, I had a job offer from an absolutely amazing school! George was extremely supportive along the way, always replying promptly and liaising with the school to arrange an interview. I couldn’t recommend the agency enough, particularly for trainees who are looking for their first job, as the team will listen to individual preferences and pair you with a school which fits these. Thank you EdEx!

From contacting EdEx to a job offer in 1 week! I’d worked with Ryan and George 4 years ago and they helped me to find my first TA job, and now they’ve helped me to secure an ECT job for September. Ryan was super proactive and helped me find a school that matched my criteria. Great pre-interview support too! I highly recommend giving EdEx a call if you’re looking for your next teaching job!

- Hannah

Ryan had been so supportive from the very start. He helped me gain my dream role so quickly! He listened to what I was looking for and found me the perfect fit straight away. He was able to support me with interview preparation and was always there to listen to my queries! I definitely recommend Ryan and his team at EdEx to support you in finding new roles. Not like other companies, you can tell how passionate they are in supporting people into new roles.

- Yasmin

EdEx provides a truly exceptional service, and it has been a pleasure working with Ryan and James. It is evident that they have taken the time to understand our school and what exactly it is that we are looking for, with the aim of not just filling positions but creating lasting matches that benefit both the candidates and our school. We are incredibly grateful for the efficiency and the excellence of their service and look forward to continuing our working relationship. 10/10 – would recommend whole heartedly.

I couldn’t have had a better idea experience with EdEx! I felt like they were genuinely interested in helping me to find a teaching role that was the right fit for me. They have a lot of connections within the education sector and have a robust knowledge of the schools that they work with. They worked incredibly hard and found me a perfect position within a week. Thanks so much to the whole team!

- Caitlin

I found EdEx to be professional and knowledgeable, taking into account my needs and what I was looking for. I spoke first with George and then it was through Ryan I secured my next role, which happens to be a dream come true role. One of those that I couldn’t have dreamed of as they are quite rare or so I thought. Even after the process, Ryan kept in contact and made sure I was happy with everything.

- Georgina

Above all, EdEx stood out for the personalised care. I didn’t feel a sense of pressure to take the first role and merely fill a vacancy. Rather, the level of attention they provided to my needs ensured that I was matched with a school that shared similar values. Ryan and the team really listen and seek to find the right place that aligns with values and career aspirations. I highly recommend EdEx for anybody seeking a school-based role.

- Hodan

Holly from EdEx is an absolute star. She reached out to me at the perfect time, providing me with amazing opportunities within education. Thank you Holly for being extremely caring and supporting me from start to finish, making the process very straightforward. Also a big thank you to Ryan for being so attentive and finding me a great role in such a short time! I couldn’t have done it without you both!! 100% recommend.

- Emily

The draining process of applying to schools was affecting my mental health, but then Holly contacted me. She managed to get me an interview within a week! I was so pleasantly surprised at her enthusiasm and she even helped me to plan and resource a maths lesson for my interview. I got offered the job on the day! Holly and I were ecstatic! I commend EdEx services for drastically improving my life and giving me hope for my new teaching career.

- Maya

From start to end, my experience was nothing short of supportive, with clear instructions and effective communication. My recruiter, George, was so reliable and resilient-which meant that a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I have now been able to secure my ideal job, ideal salary, and ideal location in a very short amount of time. All thanks to George and the amazing services provided at EdEx. I would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed!

From start to end my experience was nothing short of supportive with clear instructions and effective communication. My recruiter, George, was so reliable and resilient-which meant that a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders as I was working full time, relocating to a new house and having to search for a new job all at once. He made this task much easier and ensured that the communication with any potential employers, always kept my needs and conditions in top priority. I have now been able to secure my ideal job, ideal salary and ideal location in a very short amount of time-all thanks to George and the amazing services provided at EdEx. I would definitely recommend-you will not be disappointed!

I recently had the pleasure of coming across EdEx education recruitment services in my long tiring search for a primary teaching job. I was almost at the point of giving up as the draining process of applying to schools was affecting my mental health but then Holly from the services contacted me. She was honestly the sweetest person and I commend her for her dedication! She informed me that she used to be a primary school teacher and that she would do everything in her power to find me a job. I must admit I had my doubts at first but sue managed to get me an interview within a week! I was so pleasantly surprised at her enthusiasm and she even helped me to plan and resource a maths lesson as part of my interview. The best case scenario happened because I got offered the job on the day! Holly and I were ecstatic! I commend Edex services for drastically improving my life and giving me hope for my new teaching career! If you're stuck I would highly recommend their services.

EdEx provided an exceptional service throughout and made the process of finding a job stress free.

I cannot explain how much George from EdEx helped me to find exactly where I’m meant to be. I had sooo many negative interactions with so many other recruitment companies, I have never come across another recruiter with nearly as much integrity. Integrity which is imbedded in the culture at EdEx. I’m completely shocked at how kind and helpful the team have been with me for months. Amazing. Cannot recommend them enough!

Absolutely great education recruitment agency. The team worked with me quickly and in a friendly manner to help find me a job back in February as I was struggling to find work after the pandemic. They listened carefully to what I wanted and my feedback and placed me in a great academic mentor role for me. I now have a permanent role within the school which has launched a new career for me that I wasn’t even aware I was interested in before working with EdEx. Their support was there throughout and they were genuinely very pleased for me when I placed a permanent position. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
