Lead brands: Neo People Management

The Challenge

With over 3,000 staff and 28 schools, recruitment across the Trust had become fragmented and expensive. Costs were mounting – especially agency spend – and Futura needed a partner to help centralise and streamline their hiring process. 

The Solution

Neo People implemented a trust-wide resourcing strategy tailored to Futura’s needs, including: 

  • A centralised recruitment service 
  • Introduction of a new applicant tracking system (ATS) 
  • Strategic workforce planning 
  • Better visibility of recruitment data 

The Results

£250,000 saved on recruitment costs in just one year
Significantly reduced reliance on agency staff
Improved candidate experience and employer branding
Greater insight and control for school leaders

In Their Words

"The recruitment service has been invaluable and has more than paid for itself."
- HR Director, Futura Learning Partnership
