“We have used Connaught Education to source a variety of candidates in teaching and support roles. With a strong
candidate base CE have the ability to provide a swift and efficient service when required, and can also handle more specific
campaigns that require a longer targeted search. We have been delighted with the quality of candidates and the service
from the team, Michael Brownlee is a knowledgeable and professional account manager who I can highly recommend.”

“I am indebted to Michael for introducing me to my current position. He had the imagination to see beyond the calendar,
successfully matching the candidate's background, experience and suitability for the job with its specified requirements,
carefully considering mutual compatibility. Throughout, he demonstrated excellent client/agent interpersonal skills. I would
not hesitate to recommend him as a highly accomplished recruitment consultant”

“We were struggling to source a high calibre Teacher of Spanish, but Connaught put forward two candidates, one of whom
we successfully appointed and who has settled in well. All our dealings with the agency were met with professionalism and
any enquiries were responded to promptly and efficiently. We were also impressed that the agency proposed alternative
pay and/or fee arrangements, so that the School benefited financially. We would happily use Connaught again when
looking to recruit high calibre teaching staff.”

“Recently, I joined Connaught to seek a Teacher’s role in a preparatory school in London. One of the newer team members,
Phil, matched my skills and background perfectly with a job opportunity that was exactly what I was looking for.
Throughout the whole process of recruitment, Phil supported me fully and was very proactive in providing me with all
relevant information. I highly recommend Phil to any candidate. Phil will really do all he can to help you and provide you
with an excellent personal service. I look forward to staying in touch with Connaught for future career opportunities.”

“I have been dealing with Michael Brownlee at Connaught Education since December 2013 and have found them to be
extremely successful in understanding what I was looking for and in supplying excellent teachers, both supply and
permanent for the school.
At very short notice they have found for us at Buckingham College Prep, a supply maths teacher, a permanent music
teacher (good teachers in those areas are like hens’ teeth) and most recently a Year 1 teacher to cover 2 terms maternity
leave. The calibre of all these teachers is excellent and Connaught obviously vet their people really well. I have been
delighted and always think of them first when seeking either supply or permanent staff.
As a matter of interest Connaught were recommended to me by Dr Trevor Lee at Northwood Prep.”

“Michael was extremely professional in all his dealings with me. I found that his communication skills were beyond
compare. He made sure I was kept up to date. He clarified every action before proceeding to ensure that I was happy. He
was very proactive on my behalf in securing me a suitable position which met my current requirements. I would
happily work with Michael again.”

“I have known Connaught Education for many years and always found them most helpful, whether it be for seeking a post
or asking for advice. Each time I have visited the office, the staff have been very friendly and dealt with my matters quickly
and efficiently. I would not use any other educational consultants and would whole heartedly recommend them.
Francesca was extremely supportive and worked hard in securing my temporary post at Northwood Prep School. She kept
me informed of developments and I particularly appreciated her personal approach. I have no hesitation in returning to her
for future employment.”
