Nottingham-based Protocol Group announces launch of major new education recruitment company.

The Protocol Group is creating a new recruitment company which will provide staff across every sector of the education market, it can be announced today.

In a new one-stop shop set to transform the provision of staff across education, Bookmark will be recruiting for any role…both inside the classroom and out.

From teachers to classroom assistants, to admin support workers to caretakers, to canteen staff to exam invigilators, Bookmark aims to fill vacancies efficiently and safely.

Led by a team boasting 27 years of experience, Bookmark, based in Nottingham, will also strive to ensure placements are processed as quickly as possible while performing best-in-class safety checks on potential candidates.

Bookmark will deliver staff in the nursery sector, in primary and secondary schools, across further and higher education and in special needs settings to help streamline and improve the way education institutions recruit staff.

Candidates will be able to enter themselves into a database which will help them access multiple job opportunities all at once.

But safety will remain at the heart of everything Bookmark will do. To support this, the company will utilise a cutting-edge DBS checks provider, eSafeguarding, to ensure both speed and accuracy.

Commenting on the launch of Bookmark, Matthew Gregory, Director of Education, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of such a comprehensive and innovative recruitment solution within education.

“Our aim is to facilitate access to extraordinary opportunities in the education sector, empowering both jobseekers and institutions looking to fill their vacancies.”

Bookmark is committed to building long-term partnerships with educational establishments and providers in collaborations designed to help them achieve their strategic recruitment goals.

To further enable this, Bookmark staff will prioritise face-to-face contact with clients and have a regular presence across the educational settings they deliver staff to.

As well as working directly with clients, Bookmark is also committed to creating a direct relationship with candidates and will put them at the heart of the business.

The business will help candidates achieve long-term career aspirations, and also offer them access to high-quality training opportunities.

Schools and other educational establishments are notorious for often needing to fill vacancies at short notice – often needing posts filled within an hour of being advertised.

But Bookmark is building a service which will help serve this need using a fast and accurate recruitment platform.

And its industry-leading staff, database, systems and communication will help ensure posts can be filled quickly and briefs delivered efficiently.

Describing how Bookmark will benefit candidates and education establishments, Matthew continued: “In such a pivotal industry, matching the right candidates with the right jobs is essential, and individuals and institutions can benefit from receiving guidance from experts in the field.

“Our team invests significant time and resources into understanding the needs and objectives of both parties, something we consider to be key. We look forward to seeing the positive impact Bookmark will make in the education sector.”
