The sector of education attracts and acquires quality talent using strategic recruitment
systems and policies that engage top candidates through technology and targeted outreach. The
education department invests a lot in human capital in order to attract the best teachers in terms
of abilities, skills, talents, knowledge, and experience (Annette, et al., 2016, p. 6).
The human resource management works hand in hand with the department of education
to develop selection processes that help in evaluating candidates fit and expected performance as
per the stated teaching job duties and responsibilities (Nafiseh & Fereshte, 2015, p. 36). After
selecting the talented teachers, the department of education fosters a positive workplace culture,
compensates the teachers fairly and well, and creates job growth opportunities for the teachers
within the institution.
Also, the HR department of education ensures full compliance and adaption to new
landscapes such as new technologies, shifts in the education sector labor market, and the
advancing communication approaches required in this profession (Nilsson & Ellstrom, 2012, p.
40). For example, the use of online resources such as Facebook and WhatsApp groups to share
teacher vacancies. In such scenarios, only teachers whose profession, skills, talents, and expertise
matches the job description apply and thus making it easy to acquire the best teachers.
In addition, the department of education has modernized teacher recruitment practices so
as to recruit, acquire, develop, and retain talented teachers (Brown & Stuart, 2015, p. 380). Still,
schools include performance measures to teacher vacancy application and recruitment processes.
Last, the department of education offer fair pay and compensation as a strategy to acquire new
