I am very new to My New Term, however the experience I've had so far has made my job so much easier when picking up the recruitment. There are so many aspects that I can do at the click of a button which I haven't been able to do before. It is more efficient, effective and has saved me a great deal of time. Positive feedback has been received from our candidates too. I would also like to thank Emily Stafford-Key for the amazing support she has provided since us joining My New Term, she is a fantastic employee and a credit to your organisation. Thank you! :)
Becky found MyNewTerm:
- Slightly provides school data“I have yet to use My New Term for school data”
