Talent-in-a-box School Leadership Recruitment

Effective recruitment of high performing leaders is fundamental to a school's success. Finding people with the necessary skills, experience, qualifications and with a strong values match will enable the school to deliver quality results.

Talent-in-a-box for leaders in education combines into one assessment package:

• Dimensions

• Watson Glaser

Psychometric testing and personality profiling are increasingly being used to objectively help sift and select candidates for senior management roles as noted in the suggested selection activities in the DfE's publication in December 2017 Recruiting a headteacher A guide to the recruitment and selection of headteachers and other leadership roles.
