Teacher Hiring
When a teacher resigns mid-term
Why general job sites struggle with school hiring, and what school-focused hiring steps do differently.
A Physics teacher for Classes 9 and 10 resigns in the middle of the term. Board classes cannot stop. The timetable has a gap from next month.
What happens
School hiring is very time-sensitive. Gaps often appear at the worst moment. And a wrong hire costs a lot, for students, parents and other teachers.
The problem: more CVs does not mean the right fit
General job sites bring in lots of CVs. Then the principal spends evenings sorting CVs, booking calls and watching sample classes. Many of those people were never right for the subject, the board or the school’s culture.
The idea: check teaching before the principal spends time
School-focused hiring does the sorting early. It starts with a clear need. It looks for teachers on purpose. It does a first check. Then it watches each person teach a sample class before anyone reaches the principal’s list of the best few names.
How Teacher Recruitment (our teacher hiring service) works
- Understand the need
- Find teachers
- First check
- Sample class
- Pick the best few names
- Help arrange the hire
Roles may include science, maths and tech, languages, early years and other school roles. You can use it when a need comes up, or in hiring rounds.
More teachers, and more teacher time
Hiring is part of CampusOne for a reason. It tackles the same problem as ExamCraft (our helper for making question papers). One gives you enough teachers. The other saves their time.
The takeaway
For your next opening, decide before you post the job. What must a good candidate show in a sample class? That one choice shapes everything after it.
