What is MyNewTerm?
MyNewTerm is a multi-award winning, innovative web application developed by teachers out of the moral purpose to support schools and multi-academy trusts to improve efficiency and save on the cost to recruit.
With a proven model of success, MyNewTerm has connected tens of thousands of candidates directly with employers. The application empowers candidates to be able to easily search, setup personalised job alerts and apply direct to schools and MATs online via a fully GDPR & Keeping Children Safe in Education compliant application.
Schools and multi-academy trusts can brand careers pages to showcase as an employer of choice, improve efficiency by easily managing all candidate applications online using a bespoke Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and benefit from automated features to save time including an innovate API to automatically display vacancies on school/trust websites. Multi-academy trusts also have the option to centralise recruitment and utilise MyNewTerm for member schools.
The application is now utilised as the sole careers platform by hundreds of schools and multi-academy trusts to improve efficiency, ensure compliance and increase candidate attraction.

l gave a score of 10 because MyNewTerm has transformed our recruitment and data management processes. The platform is intuitive and easy for staff to use, which has significantly reduced administrative workload. Vacancies are advertised quickly and reach a wider audience, resulting in stronger applicant pools. We now have clear visibility of recruitment data, making reporting to governors and trust leaders far more efficient. Communication with candidates is smoother, compliance checks are easier to track, and overall, the system has saved us time while improving the quality of our recruitment outcomes.
