EdEx - Education Recruitment Recenzje 

Josh was very helpful in answering my calls when I couldn’t get a hold of my primary agent for the role. He also passed on my messages within Edex to the relevant agent very quickly. Ryan was also very helpful in explaining a contract for a role and gave very honest, useful advice. Sometimes, however, communication wasn’t as fast as I’d hoped. When waiting to hear back, it’s hard to know whether slow communication is on the schools end or that of Edex. 5* for me would be for more communication - eg a reply, even if it’s to say there’s no news from the school as of yet. But overall a good experience. Thank you

EdEx helped me find a long term role at a school within weeks! A big thank you to Josh for his hard work and support!!

I had Josh as my dedicated consultant.
He was able to find me a position very quickly within a week or two.
There was some confusion over shouts worked but I believe it was a miscommunication from the school.

Overall Josh was extremely quick to respond and pro activate and I would recommend Ed-Ex and Josh !

This is my first review, so I'm unsure of how much I can type, But will try to fit this all in.

I applied for a role at a primary school around early June time 2023. Josh Haynes was my agent. We had a phone call interview as well as a zoom interview. Josh essentially told me that I was fantastic for this role, that my experience was perfect and it should be no problem finding me a job before I went back to university and that would work around my university hours. Keep that in mind.

July rolls around, and I am still in contact with Josh, and Ellie Martin helps me sort out my DBS. This review does not apply to Ellie, in fact, despite not being my agent, Ellie and I were in contact more than I was with Josh, and she was fantastic help and an absolute pleasure to be in contact with. Ellie is fantastic at her job. The only reason this review has a 2 star is because of Josh, which I should've given him none, but that wasn't unfortunately an option. If Ellie was my agent, this would have 5 stars. Please give this woman a raise, alongside Josh's job. At this time, Josh meanwhile is still giving me hope about job roles for September time.

It's now late July, and all contact I had with Josh had now disappeared, which should have been a tell-tale of what was yet to come. Josh does not reply to this email for another 3 weeks.

In August, Josh gets back to me explaining how he is trying to get me an interview for the first week back to school. I email Josh once again, but with no reply.

I email somebody else within the company late September after emailing Josh around the first week of school asking about my role with no response, and I in turn, had to start looking for other positions. They followed up with Josh, and they had assured me that Josh was still looking, but because of me being at university (something that Josh said would be no problem working around) meant that roles were not as common for my part time requirement. I reply back to the email, and have not heard anything from Josh Haynes since August, or the company since late September. It is now 2 days away from January 2024.

In summary, I still have no job with them, I still haven't heard from Josh since August and haven't heard from the company since late September, and I still was led on to thinking I would have a role for months when I could've found another job, but waited it out because of the false hope I was given. I should've found another role with another company, because whilst I was in my kitchen crying over not having a job, any money or any communication with the company for months, Josh Haynes was doing the worm in his office at 5am posted to his linkedin.

Before doubting this review, please bear this in mind. Yes, I understand that my requirements may have made role searching harder than looking for a full time role. Yes, I understand that a job wasn't going to be found instantly. Yes, I understand that staff are looking for multiple roles for multiple different people at one time.

However, I was told that I would have a role which they were to find before attending University. I was told that there would be no problem working around my schedule, which was 2 days a week at university. I was told that i would be a fantastic fit for the job, I was amazing around children and I was told that I was a very strong candidate. I was told all of this, then didn't have any communication or contact from them for months. The space between first communication up until now has been 6 whole months.

Please do not make the same naïve mistakes that I did. Because the likelihood of Josh telling you all of positive things, then forget about you in hopes you will find another job, is indeed, likely. Similarly, the likelihood of Josh Haynes doing the worm whilst you're worrying about not having a job is also, rather likely.

In conclusion, if you get Josh as an agent, good luck, you're going to need it :)

I found Edex a very professional yet friendly company. The team were invaluable in helping me to find my dream job and helped me through every stage of the process supporting with the administrative aspects of the process and helping with interview preparation. I felt that they new their client schools really well and could advise confidently about good fits between employee and school.

I have had a great experience working with Ryan! He found a school for me within two days, was able to answer many questions I had, and communication was always quick and honest. If he didn’t know he would tell me but source the answer ASAP. I look forward to starting my new role and would highly recommend Ryan in helping search for a teaching position.

Was assisted by Ryan Bingham, who was incredibly helpful and supportive in the job-hunting process. Within 24 hours of contact, he had arranged an interview for the same week at an excellent school that he knew very well. His expertise in teaching recruitment was clear, giving detailed advice for interviews and being consistently present for support and contact. Would definitely recommend - have now secured that teaching post thanks to Ryan. He gave a very personal approach with clear care for his work, putting in time to be friendly and understanding of my position. Easy 5 stars.

I was looking to get a first job in teaching after a career change, and approached EdEx because of their great reviews. They were just as helpful as everyone says! Holly responded to my initial enquiry email and we had a call the following day to talk through what I was looking for. She explained the process and helped me to sort out the necessary checks (references, DBS etc). George then sent over details of a school that met my requirements, which they had approached on my behalf. I had an interview the following week, which they helped me to prepare for. The interview went well, and I got offered the job, starting on Monday! The whole process took three weeks from my initial enquiry to my first day as a TA. EdEx were amazing: responsive, rapid, proactive, knowledgeable and supportive. I felt really well taken of and couldn't be more grateful for their help! Would highly recommend.

What can I say what a great company and even better great staff like Becca. I have experienced other recruitment companies that over ring my phone constantly, not caring about my needs! Talking down at me!
But not EdEx she has listened and understood my needs and what I’m looking for, she has been patient and so helpful, and very understanding and also not given up on helping me find the right job.
Becca has been an actual superstar! She has been looking for the right role for me and found it, she’s never put too much pressure me down, or speak to me rudely! Always so friendly and polite, She actually cares and likes her job! Great customer service thank you Becca, thank you EdEx

I worked with George Mair and Holly Ball from EdEx and between them I had an initial phone call on a Tuesday and 2 weeks later (to the day) I was being offered a job! They both contributed a lot of time and effort and without them I wouldn’t be in the position I am now, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thankyou George and Holly!

Ryan was very helpful and supportive in helping me find and secure a role.

I worked with Ryan who has been absolutely amazing when it comes to finding me placements to work at. I could not be more thankful and encourage everyone to use this agency to find work

Ryan was incredible!!! Soo helpful, available for guidance at any time and genuinely made me feel at ease. Secured a position within 2 weeks! Fabulous company and staff!

Ed ex are unlike any other agency I have worked with. I applied on a Friday and had an interview in Monday. Ryan at Edex responded swiftly to all queries I had and was transparent throughout the process. 10/10 for customer service and efficiency. I highly recommend Edex for any experienced or new teachers/teaching assistants.

Ryan Bingham was very helpful before the interview giving advice on what sort of questions might be asked and explaining what the headmistress was like to work with.

Literally so amazing and sweet - they actually care about u! Thanks so much Holly and George x

Ryan! What a lad. Helped me anytime of the day I needed it, very well spoken and extremely helpful. I was considering other jobs to be honest, but Ryan’s response time and dedication to get me started based on what I wanted from my role led me to start as early as I needed to. Wouldn’t be this happy without him. Thank you Ryan Bingham!

Overall my experience with EdEx has been very positive. My recruitment agent Josh Haynes was very friendly and helpful. He helped me to get a job in education within 3 weeks! I would highly recommend!

Both of the agents I spoke with were extremely personable, professional, and hardworking. I found success with the agency very quickly thanks to their hard work. Can't recommend enough.

Helped getting an unqualified tutor role. The staff members of this agency are quite responsive.
