How can we recruit the right teachers?

Recruitment is at the heart of what we do in schools. I once worked for a headteacher who insisted on meeting every individual who interviewed to work at their school. At the time, I was surprised they would invest so much time in this process. Once in the post myself, I thought this to be a stroke of genius. Indeed, if you’re going to invest a huge chunk of your time anywhere as a head it ought to be choosing the right people to staff your school!
