Hiring top arts educators has always been tough for schools. The process is time-consuming and inefficient and often means missing out on great educators. Especially for organisations like P.S. ARTs where skilled arts educators are critical to their mission. But with School Gig, P.S. ARTs have transformed their hiring process and are hiring faster and more efficiently than ever before. In this case study we’ll look at the challenges P.S. ARTs faced, the solutions School Gig offered and what other schools can do to streamline their hiring.
