Affinity Workforce Solutions

It was fantastic to spend the evening celebrating the people, businesses and innovations that are making a real impact across the recruitment industry at last night's Recruiter Awards. ✨

We're incredibly proud to have been recognised as a finalist, and we'd like to say a huge congratulations to all of the winners and fellow finalists.

A healthier start to the school day is on the horizon.

We welcome the Government's proposed updates to England's school food standards,
including the introduction of the first-ever dedicated breakfast standards for schools.
These changes represent an important step towards improving nutrition, wellbeing and
learning outcomes for children nationwide.

In our latest blog, we explore what the new standards could mean for schools, pupils
and the wider education sector.

We're delighted to announce the acquisition of Training Toolz, bringing CandidateGo and Affinity Elevate into the Affinity Workforce Group.

This exciting step strengthens our ability to support the education sector beyond recruitment, helping schools, Multi-Academy Trusts and education recruitment agencies manage training, compliance and professional development more effectively.

✅ Affinity Elevate supports schools and MATs with staff training, compliance management and professional development in one place.

✅ CandidateGo helps education recruitment agencies ensure candidates complete mandatory training and remain compliant before entering the classroom.
