Those thinking about becoming a teacher are now getting some extra encouragement from the Indiana Department of Education. This week, the department announced the launch of a teacher recruitment and retention campaign. At the heart of that are two new websites designed “to promote positive educational resources and leasing personnel,” according to department officials.
The first is EducateIN.org. It gives high school and college students, as well as others thinking about becoming a teacher, the chance to learn more about the profession, the benefits that come with it, and what qualifications are needed.
While there are many resources available to help employers source and hire, recruitment agencies are still pivotal to many organizations. Whether you are hiring for a myriad of jobs on a regular basis or an organization looking for specialized talent, there is an agency for everybody. Before ruling out partnering with an agency, it may be good to review how they could benefit your organization. As an employer, time is your most precious resource and unfortunately, hiring new staff is a long term process. In allowing a recruitment agency to control your hiring needs, you have more time to focus on the daily operations of your organization.
While you may know best what you need from a new hire, recruitment is more than matching a candidate to a role. For any one role, you may have to sift through a 100 CVs, then narrow this list down to 20 strong candidates. Not to mention, screening, interviewing and reference checking each candidate. Many organizations do not have time to do all this.
The right recruitment agency can effectively source, phone screen and prepare candidates, before they meet you for a final interview, if you will like to partner with experts, choose the recruiting firm Utah services. As you will only focus your efforts on screening a few candidates, your hiring process becomes much more streamlined. Overall, you are saving valuable time and garnering suitable candidates in the most efficient way.
The other is Indiana.Teachers-Teachers.com. Its focus is to help schools with teacher recruitment. School officials can post job openings, while job seekers can create an online profile and apply for multiple positions.
In a press release, Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Jennifer McCormick said her department is committed to attracting and retaining excellent teachers, and she believes these resources will advance that initiative.
