Sunday Planning and Recruitment Essentials
Hey everyone,
I often hear recruiters emphasize the importance of mastering the basics for success. As someone in education recruitment, I’m curious to know: what would you consider the essential basics? If you were to create a list, what would it include?
Additionally, I’ve noticed that many recruiters dedicate Sundays to planning. Could someone share their Sunday planning template or outline what they typically do on Sundays to stay ahead in the competitive landscape? Thanks!

Hi there!
Great questions! When it comes to the basics in education recruitment, here are some key points to focus on:
Building Relationships: Establish strong connections with both candidates and schools. Trust and rapport are crucial in this field.
Understanding the Market: Stay informed about trends in education, demand for certain positions, and changes in regulations that impact hiring.
Candidate Screening: Develop a solid process for interviewing and identifying the best candidates based on both skills and cultural fit.
Effective Communication: Keep lines of communication open with your candidates and clients, providing regular updates and feedback.
Utilizing Technology: Leverage recruitment software to streamline your process, manage your pipeline, and keep track of interactions.
Networking: Attend education fairs, conferences, and other industry events to connect with potential candidates and clients.
Branding: Work on your personal and agency branding to stand out in the competitive education recruitment landscape.
As for a Sunday plan, here’s a simple template that works for many recruiters:
Sunday Planning Template:
Review Last Week: Assess what worked and what didn’t. Analyze your placements, candidate interactions, and client feedback.
Set Goals for the Week: Determine specific objectives, such as the number of placements, new leads, or networking events to attend.
Candidate Outreach: Identify candidates to reach out to and schedule conversations for the week ahead.
Client Follow-Ups: Plan follow-up emails or calls to clients to check on their current needs or feedback on candidates submitted.
Market Research: Spend some time researching any new trends, news, or changes in the education sector that could impact your recruitment strategy.
Content Creation: If you create content for social media or your website, set aside time to draft posts or articles that showcase your expertise.
Self-Care: Don’t forget to carve out some time for yourself! A well-rested recruiter is often more productive and engaged.
Hope this helps! Good luck in your recruitment journey!
