🎙 Hosted by Jared Mlynczyk — founder of ChristianEdLeadership.com, Christian educator, and school leader.
In Part 2 of the Beyond the Application – Hiring Christian Educators series, we dig into a crucial question: How should we interview?
The hiring process in Christian schools is not just about filling positions—it’s about discerning calling, character, and conviction. In this episode, Jared unpacks why interviews must move beyond yes/no questions and testimony recitations to open-ended, mission-centered conversations.
Topics include:
Why open-ended questions reveal more than “the right” answers
Examples of questions that uncover calling, worldview, and humility
Best practices for structuring interviews with teachers and staff
Guarding against “words only” with references, follow-up, and observation
Balancing professional expertise with faith alignment
Every interview is an opportunity to protect the mission of the school and identify those who will strengthen the culture of discipleship.
