Answer 1

To train the teachers who may be involved in selection process for new staff should take training as explained below. This training includes clear explanation about listed aspects.

To recruit and select the people we should keep some important legal aspect in mind.

Recruit and select them based on their qualification, experiences, skills related to job only.

Recruiters should not show any discrimination in this process.

Treat the people in the proper way.

To conduct an interview or to participate in an interview, the interviewer should have consistency and objectivity.

As an interviewer, you should observe whether the candidate really useful to organization by deep analysis, they should not select them based on first impression, based on others opinions, they should select the people based on their talent and behavior only.

Here selection process for teachers, so communication is very important, so train the teachers to communicate with interviewees so that it will explain the standards of school at the same time, tell them to select the people who meet those standards only. It will be useful to make making people feel ease at the process. To understand the organization expectations and to understand the candidates ability communication acts as a best channel.

Train the Interviewers to make easy situation and create atmosphere while interview going on, they should talk with candidates in friendly way, maintain smile on the face, so that candidates freely express their ideas, try to represent more about their own.

To show more interest to participate in interview, interviewee should understand and know about the organization, so teacher who may participate in the interview process should create positive image on staff and students and explain them about features and facilities and tell them that are at right place.

Feedback is very important in interview process, every person will attend an interview with lots of ground work and preparation , it is very difficult to convey the results to unselected candidates but you should convey it in best way like we need people who exactly meet our thoughts and vision, you done good job, but we required more, try to improve for the next time or we need limited people, so we can select some people only, by saying these words we can reduce the negative feelings of the candidates.
