Today’s Lesson: Successful Recruiting

Grace Lutheran School and Kelly Educational Staffing

Grace Lutheran School in Malvern, New York, needed substitute teachers. When their best recruiting efforts did not produce the necessary results, the school started looking at prospective staffing partners. Having never used a private staffing company before, the school was not sure how Kelly Educational Staffing could find substitute teachers when they couldn’t.

But Kelly did. And along the way, Grace Lutheran realized the following benefits from working with Kelly Educational Staffing:

  • A staffing rate of 100% has been achieved.
  • A significant number of new, well-qualified substitute teachers have been recruited.
  • An organized and cohesive staffing process, from recruiting to scheduling to retention has been implemented.

IN THE BEGINNING…

The school’s substitute teacher pool was dwindling; and an acceptable resolution to this problem was not evident on the horizon.

In addition, Grace Lutheran was not equipped with the staff, tools, or processes to focus solely on the recruiting, hiring, orienting and training required to ensure a consistent substitute teacher workforce.

And while the school’s teachers and the principal worked diligently to resolve these issues, the burgeoning need for substitute teachers remained.

KELLY EDUCATIONAL STAFFING COMES INTO THE CLASSROOM…

Kelly’s customized staffing plan provided the ways and means of effective substitute teacher staffing. Some features of this plan include:

  • A recruiting campaign and professional hiring process designed to increase the number and improve the quality of substitute teachers for Grace Lutheran School.
  • An organized orientation and training program, resulting in prepared and professional substitute teachers.
  • A well-defined process for scheduling and retaining substitute teachers ensures that all of the school’s administrative needs are met.

Now, Grace Lutheran School is confident that every student has a qualified teacher in the classroom every day.

"Thanks to KES, finding substitute teachers is now the easiest part of my job. The staff as well as the substitute teachers are very efficient, dependable and friendly."
