We asked for help in our search for a new Superintendent. Mr. Ron Pound, of Make a Future did a fantastic job in expediting the search and all the details it required. He facilitated an excellent local criteria survey among the trustees and acted in every way as an agent who had our best interests at heart. We appointed Dr. Scott Benwell as our Superintendent and we are very happy with our choice and the services of Make a Future.
Eric Hunter, Trustee Board of Education
School District #85 (Vancouver Island North)
We had an application for a Kindergarten position from a wonderful Foreign French Immersion teacher who needed a work permit. Make a Future was able to simplify and expedite the process so that the teacher could start the year off with her Kindergarten class in September. Without Make a Future’s assistance, we likely would not have been able to get the paperwork in place to have this teacher working for us.
Diane Rhenisch, Director of Instruction – Teaching Personnel
School District #22 (Vernon)
A senior level search process is complex and time consuming and our District, like many others, is not set up to handle such an important task. Make a Future guided us through the process, helped us identify the relevant selection criteria, involved all the stakeholders appropriately and facilitated a great interview process. We were very impressed with their skills and professionalism and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend their services.
John Hetherington, Secretary-Treasurer
School District #48 (Sea to Sky)
Make a Future played an instrumental role in helping our district find talented candidates for our Special Education and French teaching jobs. We had previously had difficulty filling the positions but after involving Make a Future, they profiled our district online, assisted us with posting the job, represented us at career fairs and were able to attract some very qualified applicants.
Make a Future’s use of social media and alternate web sites specific to postings have increased both the quality and quantity of our candidates for these specialized and harder to fill positions.
