Copywriting

Our team includes accredited copywriters who are there to support schools with crafting the perfect advert wording. We know how challenging it can be to write an informative and engaging advert while also remaining concise and clear about what you are looking for in a candidate. Our team stay up to date with the latest trends and use research-based approaches to inform their writing, so, when you ask us to support you writing an advert, you can trust that you are getting an informed and knowledgeable response. Additionally, we work closely with universities and jobseekers to identify what helps them find their dream role and advise our customers on ways they can alter their wording to appeal to a larger candidate pool.

This service is included as part of our Monthly and Monthly+ contracts. Customers on these contracts can reach out to the team at any time for support with their advert writing. If you are an ADHOC customer, this is a chargeable service per advert copywritten. To find out more about this service, click here. 

Microsites

Our platform has a unique advertisement option for more bespoke leadership positions within your school or trust. Microsites enable schools to present their advert as a mini-website with information about the school, the role and all relevant information kept in one place. These microsites are aimed at senior leadership positions (CEO’s of trusts, Headteachers, Head of School, Trust Executive etc) as these roles often require an abundance of documentations, policies and information within the advertising stage. This can appear overwhelming to candidates in one  standard job advert, therefore displaying the information in this way makes for a smoother experience for the candidate looking to apply. And makes your advert stand out for those key positions.

If you are interested in advertising by microsite, the team will work with you to ensure it meets your needs, whilst remaining fully compliant with Keeping Children Safe in Education and in line with Safer Recruitment  and provide bespoke advice and suggestions to create a quality advert.  If you’d like to find out more, reach out to the Kent-Teach team to discuss the process by clicking the contact us details in the top menu.

Additional Enhancements

Kent-Teach also offer a range of additional enhancement options to support the visibility of your adverts. 

Using a feature helps boost the visibility of your advert based on the way our jobseekers use the platform. Our research shows that jobseekers will first search the job type they are looking for – eg teacher, teaching assistant etc. Next, they will filter by location. Having a feature or enhanced feature ensures your advert appears near the top of this filtered search ensuring it will be seen by the maximum number of jobseekers.

Our statistics show :

Roles which apply a Featured Job enhancement see average applications rise 100% and receive over 100+ more unique visits. If an Enhanced Featured Job is applied, average applications raise 250% and raises the number of unique visits to your advert between 250 - 450.

Find a list of what we each enhancement offers below:

Featured Job – Featured Jobs are identifiable by their grey highlighted box and red star. This appearance stands out against the usual white background listings. When applied your advert will appear near the top of relevant search listings to improve visibility. All Featured Jobs are included on a rolling display on matched, relevant members profiles. 

Enhanced Featured Job – Enhanced Featured Jobs are identifiable by their yellow highlighted box, red star and display the first few sentences of your advert wording. This appearance stands out against the usual white background listings and appears above Featured Jobs. This enhancement includes all Featured Job benefits, plus a rotating visibility on the homepage. This allows your advert to get more visibility across the platform from those who are existing jobseekers and those who are navigating the homepage for information.
