Testimonials

“When researching the available programmes, approved by the CCS, we liked the fact that SiR’s teacher agency standards were independent and robust. We also took into account that they were recommended by the NAHT. We wanted a thorough impartial analysis of our working practices and that’s what SiR gave us.”
James Hodkinson, Chief Development Officer, SmithCorp Limited
“Standards in Recruitment goes further; into more depth and because it is specifically for recruitment, which fundamentally is what we’re about, the accreditation reinforces that we are providing the best service to our clients and our organisation. The standards were easy to understand, straight forward and most importantly relevant. It’s a clear value-add to our business to complete the SiR process.“
Julie Welford, Compliance Manager, Aeropeople Limited
“In everything we do, we strive to maintain the highest ethical standards and professionalism, treating both candidates and clients with the same care and respect that we would hope to be treated with ourselves. Until now there has been no genuinely independent audit of our processes and operations and that is why we were first attracted to Standards in Recruitment. Elbrus Partners Limited is extremely proud to be one of the early adopters of this important accreditation. We passionately believe that our industry needs this kind of quality control.”
Mark Jukes, Founding Partner, Elbrus James Limited
“Achieving SiR accreditation has not only allowed us to meet the CCS framework criteria for the provision of supply teachers for the public education sector, I believe it will also help us to stand out from our competitors as we can demonstrate to schools and candidates that we had met the highest standards within the recruitment industry while also providing a unique and exceptional service to both schools and teachers.”
Slava Kremerman, CEO of Zen Educate Ltd
“Although we are members of the REC, when researching which accreditation to go for, we were looking for something different and independent, to help us stand out from the crowd and demonstrate that we had met the highest standards with the recruitment industry. SiR’s teacher agency standards ticked all the boxes.”
Stephanie Bateman, Managing Director, Educate Staffing Limited
"From the initial engagement to the audit itself, the process was very smooth and efficient. There was regular communication available when we needed it to help guide us through any required changes. I am therefore very happy to recommend SiR."
Lewis Atkinson, Regional Manager, Now Education
“SiR accreditation enables us to accept our position on the CCS framework and as a growing company we can now stand shoulder to shoulder with our larger competitors. The SIR team were fantastic and delved deep into the unique aspects of our business whilst the SIR gap analysis and the audit process itself provided an invaluable roadmap, guiding us through the process. The implementation of a new management process and structure has given us a fantastic platform from which to continue the growth and development of our business.’
David Dent, Co-Director, Sesame Education
“We are delighted to confirm Standards in Recruitment has been accepted as a TEAM Partner. Many more employers are recognising the importance of a compliant supply chain and organisations like SiR can provide independent verification of an agency’s standards. We are pleased to welcome them to TEAM’s growing community”
