Employer branding · Education

Every page of a school website is written for parents, and teachers notice.

Employer branding for a school is the part of the site no parent reads: periods a week, correction load, the parent messages at ten at night, and what training a teacher is given. GullySales writes that careers section and the job posts from what your own staff room says.

A colliery lamp room seen from the counter: the roller shutter half up over a deep hatch, rows of cap lamps and their batteries hanging on hooks in the recess behind it, a rack of self-rescuers on the wall above, and a check-board of pegs beside the hatch with a single brass tally hanging on it where a lamp has gone out

In one paragraph

Employer branding for a school is the part of the site no parent reads: periods a week, correction load, the parent messages at ten at night, and what training a teacher is given. GullySales writes that careers section and the job posts from what your own staff room says.

Also written for

CBSE schools, ICSE schools, International schools, Residential schools.

Where this sits

For schools

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • Admissions content cannot recruit a teacher

    Your site sells the campus, the board results and the bus routes. A teacher reads all of it and still cannot work out how many sections they would handle.

  • Teachers ask teachers, and the answer is already circulating

    Before applying, a candidate rings somebody who taught at your school. The page's only job is to agree with that call.

  • The workload questions are the ones you avoid

    Periods a week, substitutions, correction, admission-season duty, and who answers a parent at night. Silence there is read as a bad answer.

  • Residential campuses are a different job entirely

    Living on site, weekend duty, and what a teacher's own family gets out of it. A residential school that describes this properly stops interviewing people who leave in one term.

What we do

What we deliver for schools.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A careers section with its own front door

    Kept apart from admissions and written for a teacher, with the board, the sections, the class sizes and the academic calendar.

    Result: Teachers stop trying to work out the job from a prospectus.

  2. The timetable, honestly described

    Periods, free periods, substitution rules, correction expectations, and what admission season adds on top.

    Result: Applicants who accept the workload instead of discovering it in July.

  3. Professional development with a budget attached

    Board training, the courses you fund, the observation and feedback practice, and who leads it.

    Result: Teachers with options choose you for the year they will have, not for the salary alone.

  4. Residential terms stated up front

    Accommodation, duty roster, weekends off, schooling for a teacher's own children, and the leave pattern around vacations.

    Result: A candidate's family decides with you rather than after the offer.

  5. Posts for support and non-teaching staff

    Laboratory assistants, sports coaches, transport and administration, written as proper roles in the languages you hire in.

    Result: Positions that usually sit open through the first term get filled.

  6. The staff room quoted

    Short interviews with teachers who have been with you three years or more, and one who joined last term.

    Result: Sentences a teacher recognises, which is what makes the rest of the page credible.

How the result is measured

  • Applications received per open role
  • Careers page engagement and time on page
  • Candidate drop-off during the interview process
  • Referral hires as a share of total hires

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

How it works

From your first message to the first monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

How the work runs for schools

  1. 1

    Talk to current employees

    We interview a cross-section of staff honestly, including some who might raise uncomfortable points.

  2. 2

    Find the genuine reasons to join

    We identify what is actually true and attractive about working there, rather than generic claims that could apply anywhere.

  3. 3

    Build the careers content

    The careers page, job post templates and employee stories are written from what staff actually said.

  4. 4

    Review the candidate experience

    We check what happens between application and offer, since branding cannot fix a process that loses candidates through delay.

  5. 5

    Hand over and refresh periodically

    Content is handed over for ongoing use and revisited periodically as the team and roles change.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do you place teachers with us?
No. GullySales does not recruit, holds no teacher database and has no part in appointments or salaries. We write what a teacher reads before applying, and what your interviewers say when they arrive.
Our salaries are below the big schools. Does this help?
Only if something else here is genuinely better, and you have to name it: smaller sections, a principal who protects teaching time, training that is actually paid for. If pay is low and nothing else differs, fix that first, because no page argues somebody into a salary.
When should this be ready?
Before the hiring season, which for most schools means live by January rather than in April when every school in the district is advertising. A page published in the middle of the rush is read beside twenty others.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
