Flowxtra ATS dashboard for education recruitment — teacher and academic staff hiring pipeline

Fill teaching vacancies before term starts — not after

A Maths teacher vacancy on the first day of term means a cover supervisor in front of Year 11. Flowxtra posts to TES, Eteach, Reed Education, and Indeed simultaneously, filters by subject specialism and school phase, and keeps your pipeline moving so you hire before the holiday ends — not during the first half term.

  • Post to TES, Eteach, Reed Education, and Indeed in one click
  • Filter by subject specialism, school phase, and contract type before reviewing a single application
  • Automated reminders keep teacher candidates engaged — fewer last-minute withdrawals

DBS check status tracking and safeguarding compliance in education recruitment with Flowxtra

Manage DBS checks and safeguarding compliance automatically

Safer recruitment isn't optional — and tracking DBS status in a spreadsheet is a safeguarding risk. Flowxtra tracks Enhanced DBS status per candidate automatically, reminds applicants to initiate their check, and gives your safeguarding lead a real-time view of who is and isn't cleared to start.

  • DBS status tracked per candidate — visible in pipeline and candidate profile
  • Automated reminders to candidates who need to initiate or renew their DBS check
  • References, interview notes, and DBS records stored in one auditable candidate file

Build your school's employer brand to attract the best teachers

The best teachers in every subject have options. Schools that win the talent war are those that look professional, communicate quickly, and make candidates feel valued from the first application. Flowxtra gives every school a branded career page that reflects your ethos — not a generic job board.

  • Branded school career page with your values, photos, and teaching philosophy
  • Fast, mobile-optimised application form — teachers apply in under five minutes
  • Automated updates at every stage — candidates know where they stand

Job filters built for teaching roles — not generic HR software

  • Candidates select subject specialism and school phase at application — no ambiguity
  • Filter by DBS status before scheduling interviews — safeguarding protected from day one
  • Career page shows teaching-specific filters — candidates apply to the right role, right phase
