About this webinar

Every school district knows the struggle: someone resigns, paperwork takes forever, and by the time HR hears about it, the best candidates are already gone. The result? Unstaffed classrooms, burned-out HR staff, and principals scrambling for coverage. 

The real challenge isn’t just recruitment speed. It’s the processes that determine how fast a vacancy gets filled. In this webinar, former principal and Frontline consultant Mitch Welch explains why time-to-fill is the metric that exposes the cracks in school operations, how cross-department collaboration prevents costly delays, and what practical steps districts can take today to reduce risk, retain talent, and protect student learning. 

You’ll learn: 

  • Why “posting faster” won’t fix staffing (and what will). 
  • How to use the time-to-fill metric as a lens to uncover process gaps. 
  • Why HR, principals, and finance must align to shorten vacancies. 
  • First steps to move from task-driven fixes to process-driven staffing. 

Who should attend: HR directors and district leaders who want every classroom staffed, every time.
