Resumes list degrees and certifications — but they can't show you how a candidate explains a concept, connects with students, or commands a classroom. Screen teachers with async video interviews and see teaching presence before scheduling a single demo lesson.
Free 7-day trial. No credit card required.
Cover letters and resumes tell you about degrees, certifications, and years of experience — but nothing about how a candidate actually teaches. The traits that matter most in a classroom — clarity, warmth, and the ability to make complex ideas accessible — are invisible on paper.
Coordinating a demo lesson means finding an available classroom, arranging substitute coverage, aligning panel schedules, and hoping the candidate can make it on that specific day. One scheduling conflict can delay a hire by weeks.
The best candidates — especially in high-demand subjects like math, science, and special education — receive multiple offers. Schools that take 3-4 weeks to move from application to interview lose them to districts that moved faster.
See how candidates teach, communicate, and think — without coordinating demo lessons, substitute coverage, or interview panels.
Ask candidates to explain a concept from their subject area or describe their classroom management approach. Video responses reveal communication skills, instructional clarity, and personality — the things that actually predict classroom success.
Teachers currently employed can't take calls during the school day. Async video lets them record responses in the evening, on weekends, or during breaks — no scheduling conflicts, no missed opportunities.
Go beyond credentials. Ask candidates to walk through how they'd teach a specific lesson, handle a disruptive student, or differentiate instruction for mixed-ability classes. See their thinking, not just their qualifications.
Create one screening template per role type — classroom teacher, substitute, teaching assistant — and use it across all departments and campuses. Every candidate gets the same questions, making evaluation fair and consistent.
Free 7-day trial. No credit card required.
Build a template with questions tailored to teaching roles: teaching philosophy, classroom management scenarios, a short lesson explanation, and availability. Reuse the same template across departments and campuses.
Add your link to job boards, school career pages, teacher recruitment networks, and university placement offices. Candidates click, record, and submit — no sign-up required.
Watch responses at 2x speed, rate candidates on teaching presence and communication, and advance top picks directly to demo lessons. Skip the paper pile entirely.
See how async video screening stacks up against traditional phone screens for speed, quality, and cost.
