Case Study: REED Education achieves 100% placement of video-interviewed teachers with Shine Interview

Reed - Customer Case Study

REED Education, a division of REED with 35 offices across England and Wales, faced a UK teacher shortage and turned to overseas recruitment to fill both full-time and short-term supply roles. Their challenge was ensuring candidates met UK standards and could be screened quickly and cost‑effectively, so REED partnered with Shine Interview and adopted its video interviewing platform to assess motivations and teaching capabilities earlier in the process.

Using Shine Interview, REED Education reached wider audiences at universities and recruitment fairs and allowed candidates to showcase themselves more flexibly, letting consultants focus on higher‑value activities. The impact was measurable: 100% of candidates who completed a video interview were placed in UK schools (a 1:1 send‑out-to-placement ratio), the Canadian project more than doubled year-on-year, and REED reports a positive return on investment and plans to replicate the approach across other regions.
