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.

Challenges:

1. 9-Hour Shift Challenge:
   The position required candidates who were comfortable working a full 9-hour shift. Many potential candidates were unwilling to commit to such long hours, as shorter shifts are often preferred in daycare roles by females.
2. High Competition for Qualified Candidates:
   Hyderabad’s job market for daycare teachers is highly competitive, with many educational institutions and daycare centers vying for the same pool of qualified professionals. Phoenix and Avance H10 faced difficulty in finding candidates who met the educational and professional requirements.
3. Cultural Fit and Long-Term Commitment:
   The client not only sought qualified professionals but also emphasized the importance of cultural fit. They needed a teacher who was dedicated to fostering a positive, nurturing environment for children and who would align with the center’s values and vision for education and care.
4. Urgency:
   The client needed the position filled immediately to avoid further disruption in daycare operations. The absence of qualified teachers was affecting their ability to provide quality care, leading to increased pressure on existing staff members.
