The Challenge

Finding qualifying candidates against strict requirements, sustained over 2 years

School Direct Derby needed to find and convert candidates for its teacher training scheme, against specific and strict eligibility requirements, and needed to sustain that pipeline over a two-year project rather than a single push.

What OYM Did

A sustained candidate search built around the scheme's requirements

OYM ran a two-year campaign finding candidates who met the scheme's strict eligibility requirements and converting them into registered School Direct candidates.

Eligibility-aware targeting

OYM built the campaign around the scheme's specific eligibility requirements, so effort focused on candidates who could actually qualify.

Candidate search

Ongoing search activity found candidates actively considering a route into teaching.

Application support

Candidates were supported through to a completed, qualifying application.

Sustained delivery

The campaign was sustained consistently across the full two years, not run as a single burst.

The Results

Numbers that speak for themselves

45+ candidates found and converted across a 2-year project, each one meeting strict scheme requirements.

Why It Worked

Eligibility-first targeting avoids wasted effort

With strict requirements to meet, chasing volume without regard to eligibility wastes time on candidates who can never qualify. Building the campaign around the scheme's actual requirements from the outset is what delivered 45-plus genuinely converted candidates over two years.

“Every one of the forty-five-plus candidates had to meet strict scheme requirements. That meant targeting eligibility from day one, not chasing volume and hoping enough of it qualified.”
