Making a Difference.
Recruitment is all about people. The staff, the hirers, and in schools of course, the most important beneficiaries of excellent staffing processes, the pupils. Everyone wins when recruitment is done right, which gives Merit Education the opportunity to truly Make a Difference to the lives of people both directly and indirectly involved when a great staff member is hired.
Education at Heart.
The absolute foundational thought behind every piece of recruitment is, ‘how will this person truly add value to this school?’ Ensuring that a deep understanding of the role as well as the skillset and attitude of the candidate will ensure that wherever possible the staff member appointed is best placed to positively influence the educational experience of the pupils around them.
Recruitment Industry Excellence.
As a Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) corporate member, we can ensure that we are working in accordance not only with the statutory Conduct Regulations as set and maintained by The Employment Agencies Standards Inspectorate (EASI) but also in accordance with the REC Code of Professional Practice which goes beyond the legal obligations set by the EASI and adds a further level of ethical responsibility.
Intelligent and Innovative Solutions.
The education sector is ever evolving, as are the people that it comprises of. Creative approaches are required to ensure that both schools and job seekers are provided with an optimum bespoke service that recognises and respects individuality. A thoughtful, insightful approach built on many years of providing recruitment services equips us with the experience to see where innovation is needed, and to deliver an intelligent solution.
Trustworthy Relationships.
Everything successful in the education sector is built on trust. Trust in your pupils, trust in your staff, trust in your colleagues and leaders. Creating trust that you are working in partnership with a service provider that knows what you need and truly wants to deliver a service that is of genuine benefit to all of us in the education sector is a core objective of Merit Education.

Hello! Welcome, and thank you for visiting us here at Merit Education. We are immensely proud and excited to be introducing ourselves as a dedicated and specialised recruitment consultancy service to schools and educational establishments across the East Midlands.
Whilst our company may currently be unfamiliar, our Director and Head of Services, Paul Hautenne, will perhaps be a familiar name. Having worked with all types of schools as a specialist education sector recruiter for a period spanning over 15 years, Paul provides an intelligent, professional, knowledgeable service. Pauls friendly and personable approach to working with people has led to him earning an exceptional reputation within the sector.
Merit Education and Paul cannot wait to get in touch and to say hello to some old friends and aquaintances, and to meet some new ones!
I have known and worked with Paul for nearly ten years now and can highly recommend his skills and knowledge of finding the right staff. Paul took time to visit my school and get to know exactly what we needed to find the right candidates to support the pupils and running of the school. Paul would also get in touch when new candidates came on board who would work well with the ethos of our school. That was hugely beneficial to myself and the new candidate as it was always good to have a variety of staff who we could ask Paul for.

Merit really paid attention to what I was looking for. The job that they found for me was ideal, and is the reason that I now want to become a teacher. Really great service and support, they are on hand for anything that I need.

Schools are inundated with agencies who want our business. I found that Paul's approach really stood out, he is a genuine pleasure to talk to and is honest, and was even brave enough to challenge the way that we approached our recruitment which I really admired.

It is such a joy to see you setting up your own company! You will be amazing. You actually care about the job that you do, and that is a rare thing in my opinion. Your experience shows, there aren't many others that I would go to when I need advice on our recruitment needs. Good luck Paul!!
