Fantastic progressive recruitment agency

Senior consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Outstanding training and job induction, fair salary's and the opportunity to increase said salaries in a clear way. The TeacherActive Empower group highlights the need for diversity in recruitment. and allows employees voices to be heard. Not your typical Education agency.

Cons

Not really a critic of TeacherActive but the industry as a whole isn't for everyone, its hard work and long hours, though through TA I've been given the skills to grow and succeed financially and personally.
