Abstract: Federal and state educational accountability mandates and measures have increased the standards for the hiring of teachers in public schools. Interviews of public secondary school principals were conducted to determine the perspectives of public secondary school principals on hiring process and practices, as well as the perceived impact of those hiring decisions. The overarching theme throughout this study was the clear desire of public secondary principals to hire the best teacher candidates available for their job openings. The process by which the respondents reached that goal included an application preview; an almost exclusively collaborative interview process; and a search for the best fit without regard to gender, ethnicity, or major.
