SchoolMint’s Teacher Recruitment
SchoolMint’s teacher recruitment service gives districts a smarter, more cost-effective way to fill classrooms with qualified educators and staff.
Below, you’ll find answers to common questions about how SchoolMint’s teacher recruitment service works and how it’s helping districts across the country reduce vacancies.
SchoolMint’s teacher recruitment service is a modern, full-service hiring solution that helps K-12 districts find and hire qualified teachers, substitutes, and support staff. We handle the sourcing, screening, and prequalification process, delivering only verified candidates who are ready to interview and aligned with your district’s needs.
Our recruitment experts combine digital marketing, candidate outreach, and one-on-one screening to attract both active and passive job seekers. We run highly targeted ad campaigns, collect and verify applications, and even conduct one-way video interviews before sending qualified candidates directly to your HR team.
It’s designed for any district, charter network, or school system struggling to fill open teaching or support staff positions, especially in hard-to-staff subjects, high-need schools, or rural areas.
Unlike staffing agencies that place contract teachers and charge 30–50% more per hire, SchoolMint helps districts hire directly. You own the relationship with every teacher you hire — no markups, no contracts, and no loss of culture.
Most job boards simply post openings and wait for applicants to find them. SchoolMint actively markets your openings across multiple platforms, engages passive candidates who aren’t actively searching, and verifies every applicant before passing them along. It’s a proactive, data-driven recruitment solution, not just another posting tool or static applicant tracking system.
While we primarily help districts source teacher candidates, we also have expertise in recruiting other critical, in-demand roles for districts:
- Specific content areas (e.g., math teachers)
- SPED and other specialized roles
- Paraprofessionals/aides
- Substitute teachers
We use targeted digital advertising campaigns across job listing sites (like Indeed) as well as social media. This ensures your openings reach active job seekers as well as passive candidates (e.g., certified teachers who have left the classroom but may return for the right opportunity).
SchoolMint confirms that every candidate we share is real, qualified, and interested in your open role. Our team reviews each application and conducts one-way video interviews to verify credentials, location, eligibility, and interest in working in your district.
Note: SchoolMint does not evaluate candidates on personal characteristics, nor do we make hiring decisions. We simply ensure your team receives applicants who meet your stated requirements.
Yes. Until your team is ready to move forward, SchoolMint keeps candidates “warm” through automated follow-ups and updates. This keeps your talent pool engaged and reduces the risk of losing strong applicants.
Absolutely. Every campaign is tailored to your district’s goals, open roles, and location. We also develop branded recruitment microsites that tell your district’s story and highlight what makes it a great place to work.
Pricing depends on your district’s hiring goals and the number of positions you need to fill. Because we focus on digital strategies and direct hires (not staffing markups), districts spend significantly less than they would with a traditional education staffing agency.
