Hosting Prospective Faculty Education and Recruitment Events

Jo Smith, Associate Director, Product Marketing

As traditional candidate sources are increasingly unable to meet new hiring priorities, schools must be more proactive in how they approach hiring. Schools can no longer solely rely on traditional sources, like search firms and independent school association job boards schools, and need to take the lead on sourcing their own talent locally to ensure they are reaching a broader and more diverse talent pool. Hosting prospective faculty education and recruitment events offers independent schools several opportunities to expand their talent pool within their own backyard.

Locally focused candidate education and recruitment events allow your school to reach previously untapped candidates in your community. You can reach candidates who match current hiring priorities, including those who have been overlooked previously, through an educator open house or diversity hiring fair.

  • Educator open house

    An educator open house is an awareness event that educates candidates already in your community about the opportunities at independent schools.

  • Diversity hiring fair

    A diversity hiring fair is a recruitment-specific event that focuses on bringing educators of color into your talent pool.
