Hiring push at Excel Academy

Hi team,
I'm writing to ask for your help to push us across the finish line with hiring.
As you know, we have been searching high and low over the past few months for the right candidates to staff our schools. We have hired a total of 17 new staff members thus far, which is an amazing accomplishment.  It's by far the most hiring we've ever done in a single hiring season.  Three cheers for Zoe, Steph and Komal for all the work they've done to help lead this process -- plus a quadruple boom-sizz to all of you who have chipped in by observing model lessons, doing interviews, talking to candidates about your experience, and more!
We still have 3 more hires to make and we're committed to filling those roles with high caliber folks.  I'm confident we will be able to do so in the next few weeks, particularly with your help.
The positions we are still looking to fill are:
  • 5th grade math – Excel-Chelsea
  • Art and Excel Fellow—Excel-East Boston
For those of you comfortable doing this, please reach out to anyone you can think of who might be interested or who might know someone who might be interested as soon as possible – you are all incredible at what you do, so it is probably safe to assume you have a great network of folks out there!  What we've found is that people you might not suspect are good sources of candidate referrals happen to know someone's friend's cousin who's in the market.  So let's cast as wide net as we can.

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Dai
