Bryanston School is a co-educational boarding school situated in idyllic rural Dorset, with around 670 pupils aged 13-18. Its HR team of three support 600 staff members all year round.
“We quickly started to reap the benefits of Ciphr, especially where reliability and efficiencies were concerned. Ciphr iRecruit has been a huge time saver: we previously had quite manual, antiquated recruitment processes and it’s streamlined everything. Line managers are more engaged with hiring too.”
“We didn’t previously have any form of self-service HR, so we needed a system that would bring HR into the 21st century, and give staff control over their own personal information. We also wanted to reduce the burden and reliance on our own IT department, and find a system that just made our processes more efficient – and, in time, might reduce our costs.”
“We liked the flexibility of the Ciphr product: a lot of what HR does in our sector is around compliance and regulation, so we don’t have much discretion or flexibility where those things are concerned. We needed a system that would be flexible to meet our needs, not one that required us to compromise.”
“It’s now a lot faster to produce our single central record (SCR). The way the SCR is formatted and produced now will hopefully make it more user-friendly for inspectors to use.”
“The system creates efficiencies and frees up resource for us to be able to pursue the thing we need and want to be doing in terms of our HR goals.”
