What is MyNewTerm?
MyNewTerm is a multi-award winning, innovative web application developed by teachers out of the moral purpose to support schools and multi-academy trusts to improve efficiency and save on the cost to recruit.
With a proven model of success, MyNewTerm has connected tens of thousands of candidates directly with employers. The application empowers candidates to be able to easily search, setup personalised job alerts and apply direct to schools and MATs online via a fully GDPR & Keeping Children Safe in Education compliant application.
Schools and multi-academy trusts can brand careers pages to showcase as an employer of choice, improve efficiency by easily managing all candidate applications online using a bespoke Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and benefit from automated features to save time including an innovate API to automatically display vacancies on school/trust websites. Multi-academy trusts also have the option to centralise recruitment and utilise MyNewTerm for member schools.
The application is now utilised as the sole careers platform by hundreds of schools and multi-academy trusts to improve efficiency, ensure compliance and increase candidate attraction.
We are delighted to have won a number of awards including; 'Best start-up technology business', 'Best technology collaboration' (following our continued partnership with local universities) and 'Best Innovation'.

I love it! It's like you have thought of everything. It's easy to use and does my job for me.
Samantha Cadwallader found MyNewTerm:
- Improves school processes“Efficiency is the main impact. It's great to be able to press a few buttons and the invites and declarations are sent to the candidates and the references can be requested. I love that an incorrect email address will automatically request new details from the candidate too and then the reference request is sent again without any intervention.”
- Provides school data“I don't deal with the school data but I know it provides recruitment information requested by governors.”
- Saves school money“This is cheaper than our previous recruitment software provider and it also makes my role work efficiently.”

MNT has dramatically reduced the admin for our recruitment and onboarding processes. It ensures we are compliant and documents are held securely in the software until we need to download them into our own system. The software is intuitive but there are also comprehensive (and clear) help guides and an online chat facility that is highly responsive and always helpful. Our account manager is genuinely interested in our experience with the software and is very accessible.

l gave a score of 10 because MyNewTerm has transformed our recruitment and data management processes. The platform is intuitive and easy for staff to use, which has significantly reduced administrative workload. Vacancies are advertised quickly and reach a wider audience, resulting in stronger applicant pools. We now have clear visibility of recruitment data, making reporting to governors and trust leaders far more efficient. Communication with candidates is smoother, compliance checks are easier to track, and overall, the system has saved us time while improving the quality of our recruitment outcomes.
Raj Mann found MyNewTerm:
- Improves school processes“Since adopting MyNewTerm, our recruitment process has become far more streamlined. We no longer need to manually advertise vacancies across multiple platforms—everything is centralised, saving us from manual paperwork completion ad several hours each week. We can now track applicants more effectively. The system provides clear visibility of where each candidate is in the process, reducing the risk of missed communications and delays.”
- Provides school data“The platform has improved our ability to generate reports for governors quickly and accurately and we can track diversity in applications more effectively.”
