With the end of the academic year moving closer each day, schools are now working on planning their recruitment strategy for September. Recruiting new members of staff can be costly and put additional strain on already stretched school budgets. In this article we will discuss the costs linked to recruiting staff and how you can utilise funded recruitment solutions to save thousands for your organisation.
Costs of staff recruitment
Recruiting new school staff typically costs between £1,000 and £3,000 in direct advertising and vetting expenses. However, when factoring in recruitment agency finder fees, administrative hours, and onboarding, the true cost easily ranges from £6,000 to £19,000 depending on the seniority of the role.

How does LMP’s recruitment service work?
LMP Education supports your school through each stage of the recruitment process. Our service is made up of 5 stages:
- Advertising: the role is advertised by LMP Education on DAS & Indeed & numerous social media platforms.
- Screening: a designated LMP recruiter will sift and screen suitable applicants, making sure they are eligible and suitable for the job role/fit the criteria you provide.
- Shortlisting: CV, certificates and any other documents such as employer application forms are then sent over to the employer to consider for interview.
- Interviewing: interviews are then arranged on the employer’s behalf. We can fit this around your calendar and timetable.
- Hiring: the candidate is made successful and start date is confirmed, or further recruitment takes place to fill the vacancy.
We fill your vacancies through recruiting an apprentice on your behalf. Using the power of apprenticeships your new staff member receives funded training and mentoring – you simply pay their salary/wage and develop your own workforce to meet your school’s needs. Download our NEW recruitment guide!
