Case Study: Phoenix Elementary School District attracts high-quality teachers and reduces turnover with Recruiting.com

Attracting Quality Teachers to a Downtown District

Phoenix Elementary School District (PESD) faced significant challenges in hiring quality teachers due to widespread educator shortages. To better serve its schools and students, the district needed to modernize its approach to attract recent college graduates seeking an urban environment. PESD partnered with Recruiting.com to revitalize its employment brand and transition to a digital recruitment strategy to effectively reach its target audience.

Recruiting.com implemented a comprehensive solution by redesigning PESD’s career site to be visually modern and user-friendly, showcasing the vibrant Phoenix location and highlighting the district's mission of student development. The results were highly successful, with the district now filling its requisitions and reducing turnover even during a teacher shortage. PESD’s Director of HR attributed the dramatic drop in candidate questions and the influx of high-quality applicants directly to the new career site, which he called his "best employee."
