The pipeline pays off in a crisis

The school immediately started working with LinkedIn Recruiter. And luckily, it had already been putting together a pool of candidates for an innovative training program for future principals. After engaging its connections, IDEA made the hire within a month of posting the vacancy, timing that’s unheard of in the world of leadership recruitment for charter schools. The new principal had the chance to train and get used to the role through the end of the school year, and then launch in the new school year.
