What Goodfit does for teacher hiring and retention

Principals read each teacher’s answers before the demo lesson

Applicants interview by phone or browser, most of them after school. Every answer gets a score out of 10, next to the teacher’s own words and the time in the recording. The principal knows what to ask before the demo lesson starts.

Every campus scores teachers on the same rubric

Each role has one set of questions and one rubric for all campuses. Principals compare applicants side by side and can play the recording behind any score.

Goodfit calls new teachers after month one and at the end of the first semester

Each call asks how the classes, the workload and the support are going. HR hears who is struggling and why. A department head still has time to help.

Exit calls find the reason behind “relocating”

Each leaving teacher gets a confidential call. Goodfit asks what led to the decision, such as workload or a department head. A report ranks the reasons by campus and department.

FAQ

Questions schools ask

Can Goodfit screen teachers as well as admin staff?
Yes. The AI interview asks about the subject, classroom situations and talking to parents. Each answer gets a score on your rubric, with the reason written out. For roles where spoken English matters, a speaking test gives a CEFR level, such as B2.
Does it replace the demo lesson?
No. The AI interview is the first round. Shortlisted candidates still meet your panel or teach a demo lesson. If it happens on Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, Interview Assistant can join. It writes the transcript and notes on each skill.
Our best applicants are teaching all day. When do they interview?
They interview at a time that works for them, by phone or browser link. That can be after school, in the evening or on weekends. Nobody has to take a day off or leave a class to get through your first round.
How do school groups keep hiring consistent across campuses?
Every campus uses the same questions and rubric for the same role. A science teacher at one campus is judged by the same rubric as at any other. You can play the recording behind every score.
Can it screen admissions counselors?
Yes. The interview asks how they would guide a family that is choosing between schools or worried about fees. It scores how well they guide the family and follow up. This helps you tell a helpful advisor from a hard seller.
When do you call new teachers, and who hears what they say?
You pick the milestones. A common choice is four weeks in and the last week of the first semester. Teachers are told at the start that their answers are not anonymous and go to HR. HR sees the names of teachers who might leave, and why. HR decides what reaches the principal.
