I acknowledge that your first responsibility is to your clients but in order to meet your clients needs you must be able to recruit able and qualified teachers. Applicants can spend a significant amount of time completing your application form so it is hardly an encouragement or a courtesy if you fail to acknowledge that their application has been unsuccessful. After all the good recruiters are able to do this and they receive similar levels of interest.

Perhaps if you gave some consideration to applicants who, after all, have provided you with sensitive information about themselves in their application, then you would encourage more applicants and you wouldnt need to advertise so often. You would also be serving your clients interests as you would have a wider pool of applicants from which to recruit.

Other teachers must form their own views but I believe that there are better recruiters out there. Why apply to a recruiter who is quick to make excuses but who does not show consideration to unsuccessful applicants?
