Role
Teacher / instructor
The hiring challenge
A degree certifies the knowledge, but not whether the person can convey it or manage a classroom. A strong expert can be a weak teacher, and that does not show on the CV.
What to assess
Communication, adaptability to different learning styles and emotional regulation in front of the group, as a complement to the institution's pedagogical assessment.
How we build the mix
In this role the central filter is not the cognitive side, but disposition, the way people relate and self-control. The mix is built by prioritizing the role's competencies.
Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.
A technical assessment (your own or digitized) verifies they can use the tools of the role. Or, as an alternative, DISC to learn the behavioral profile for the role.
