Activate Learning - Policy Regarding Recruitment Agencies

Activate Learning is always transforming and generates a lot of interest, as a result we receive many calls from Employment Agencies and Recruitment Advertising Agencies. Although we do appreciate the interest you have shown in Activate Learning, we will always focus on resourcing high calibre candidates from the widest field possible, through our own advertising and recruitment campaigns.

Activate Learning requests that recruitment agencies do not forward CV’s speculatively or in relation to any of the roles advertised on our website.  Should we require recruitment agency involvement, we will contact the agencies on our preferred suppliers list, and we would ask that you respect the relationships we have already built with these suppliers.

If an agency submits an unsolicited CV to any partner or employee of our company, you should be aware that they have no authority to enter into an arrangement with you.  Our HR Team review all terms of business before entering into any agreement, and therefore we will not accept liability for commissions or other charges, if we subsequently employ that candidate, whether directly or through another agency. Where an agency’s correspondence contains a disclaimer indicating otherwise, our policy will prevail.

If you wish to be considered as a supplier to Activate Learning, please send an introductory email to our HR Team before submitting any CVs, thank you.
