HIRING PROCEDURES

EMPLOYMENT SCREENING & REFERENCES

2.    CIAS administration will review the resume information to confirm the eligibility of the applicant, and based upon best-fit criteria, will make arrangements to either schedule a job interview for the applicant or will email the applicant a kind and professional “thank you for applying, but you are not a good fit for our Vision and Mission/staffing need” personalized message.
3.    The job interview consists of a formal interview process, where the resume is reviewed verbally with the applicant, small talk and cordial conversation is made, and a set of pre-written questions is covered in detail, including but not limited to questions about their teaching philosophy, why they want to be hired to work at CIAS, etc. The CIAS Vision and Mission are discussed extensively during the job interview, and financial wage expectations are also discussed.

6.    A member of the CIAS administration will make contact with a minimum of two references (one personal and one professional) to check their ethical conduct and moral behavior, hireability, team player and cooperation habits, character reference, recommendations, etc. This document is recorded and filed in a folder with all other paperwork and documents until a personnel file is created.

NEXT STEPS FOR EMPLOYMENT
7.    If the hire is a good fit, and the CIAS Administrative staff has a general agreement consensus and a “witness of the Spirit,” the applicant will be contacted within a week (5-7 days) by email first and then by a follow-up phone call by a CIAS administration member to confirm their hire and training process
8.    They then meet with the CIAS Administrative Secretary to discuss the creation of their personnel file and to collect their paperwork and documents.

10.    CIAS Administration will create the new staff member an official CIAS email address and add them to have access to appropriate Google Drive files, Google Calendars, etc.
11.    Various other emails, to begin their Professional Development (PD) education journey as a CIAS staff member, will be sent to them by the CIAS Administrative staff (dyslexia module, ADHD module, Google Workplace training, etc.).
