your further education

recruitment agency. 

We help FE providers recruit lecturers, assessors, and essential support staff who understand the demands of post‑16 education.

Recruiting in further education isn’t about quick fixes.​

 

It’s about finding the right people to support learners, protect standards, and keep colleges running day to day. That’s exactly where Talentshed adds value.​

 

Rather than relying on job boards alone, we take the time to understand your organisation, your learners, and the pressures your teams are under — then build a recruitment approach around that.

​​

Instead of waiting for candidates to apply, we proactively engage professionals who may not be actively job hunting but would move for the right opportunity. ​

 

Every search is handled with a quality-first mindset. That means fewer CVs, better conversations, and candidates who are genuinely aligned with your values.

what people are saying.

smarter recruitment
for a 
changing 
sector

The further education job market has changed. Simply posting a vacancy and hoping for the best no longer delivers consistent results. To attract the right people, colleges need to communicate what makes them a great place to work, both clearly and authentically.

​​

That’s why employer brand marketing sits at the heart of what we do. We use a structured discovery process to understand your culture, priorities, and what would genuinely appeal to FE professionals. From there, we create targeted campaigns using dynamic content that speaks to passive candidates and builds interest over time.

​​

Technology plays a key role, but it’s never the whole answer. Our recruitment tools are backed by experienced consultants who know further education inside out and follow best-practice recruitment processes.

 

The result is a joined-up approach that delivers stronger engagement and more sustainable hires.

​

Put simply, Talentshed helps further education providers attract and appoint the right people — not just for now, but for the long term.
