Recruiting and Hiring
Recruiting and hiring the right staff is critical, and developing intentional processes for identifying and hiring the most appropriate candidates can have long-term institutional strategic value.

Webinars

Institutional Loyalty is Eroding - In our October 6 Academic Leaders Webinar, Brad welcomes Carole Everett, Executive Director at NJAIS, to discuss the changing generational landscape and its impact on employee and enrollment retention in independent schools. Carole shares data from her work with schools over the last few months and offers advice for Academic Leaders to help retain this year's new families. ​

Hiring During a Pandemic - Presenters Brad Rathgeber and Corinne Dedini joined Sarah Hanawald to share some best practices and tricks of the trade for online recruiting and hiring.
Optimizing Staffing for 21-22 - James and Amber from the National Business Officers Association,  shared insights about the hiring landscape for the 21-22 school year and offered guidance on how academic leaders should work with their business offices to be prepared for a challenging hiring season.
Mission-Smart Teacher Hiring - Peter Gow offers advice and guidelines for making the most of hiring fairs and interviews off and on campus—spotting the right characteristics, asking the right questions (and avoiding the wrong ones), and landing the teachers your school wants and needs.
At the Intersection of Policy and Practice: Hiring and Retaining Faculty of Color - As schools explore how best to hire and support faculty of color, it is worth reflecting on the many ways our actual processes are misaligned with what our policies outline—in places like school handbooks, hiring protocols, and school mission—as well as what we theoretically hope to achieve.
