About Client:

A well-regarded network of childcare and early education facilities provides high-quality daycare and education services to children in Hyderabad. Their goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for young children. However, they were struggling to fill a critical Daycare Teacher position for their centers located in Phoenix and Avance H10. The role required the teacher to work a 9-hour shift, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which was proving to be a major challenge in the competitive job market.

Despite multiple attempts to recruit the right candidate, the client had been unsuccessful in finding a professional who met their specific qualifications and could commit to the long working hours required. This resulted in understaffing, which was affecting the quality of care and education being provided to the children at their centers.

To resolve this issue and ensure that operations ran smoothly, Phoenix and Avance H10 reached out to Hiringlabs for help in closing the burning position quickly and efficiently.
