First, the Basic Concept of Recruitment of Educators and Education, Recruitment of educators and education is a very important process in the management of educational institutions because it determines the quality of the human resources involved in it. Conceptually, recruitment can be understood as an effort to find, attract, and gather prospective educators and education personnel who are in accordance with the needs of the organization. The main goal of this process is to ensure that the institution obtains a workforce that is not only sufficient in quantity, but also quality. Some experts define recruitment as the process of finding and attracting prospective employees who have the ability, motivation, and expertise according to the demands of the position. Thus, the basic concept of recruitment emphasizes the fit between the needs of the organization and the competencies of the individual.

Second, the Principles of Recruitment of Educators and Education Personnel, the principles of recruitment of educators and education personnel need to be considered so that the process runs objectively and professionally. Recruitment must be designed through careful planning, including job analysis and qualification determination. This process must be objective, rational, and systematic by prioritizing clear data and criteria. In addition, the comprehensive principle demands that the selection includes all important aspects such as competencies, attitudes, and values needed in the educator profession. The principle of "the right man on the right place" emphasizes the importance of placing a person according to his field and ability. By upholding professionalism, recruitment must also be free from the practice of nepotism, collusion, and discrimination.

Third, the Basis of Policies, Methods, and Techniques for the Recruitment of Educators and Education Personnel, in terms of policy, recruitment is carried out because of various needs, such as the addition of new personnel due to retirement, mutation, or resignation, as well as the demands of new activities and programs. In practice, recruitment methods can be carried out through theoretical approaches, sample methods, linear programs, or decision methods involving organizational executives. Recruitment techniques can be pursued by a centralization system, which is carried out by the head office, or decentralization carried out by small units according to certain needs. The source of recruitment can come from within the organization, namely existing personnel, or external through the job market, universities, advertisements, or employment institutions.

Fourth, the stages of Educator and Education Personnel Recruitment Activities, The recruitment process is carried out through several systematic stages. Starting from preparations in the form of forming a committee, preparing requirements, and announcements. Followed by registration, selection of knowledge, skills, and psychology tests, then interviews to explore their abilities more deeply. After that, a reference examination and health evaluation are carried out to ensure the candidate's eligibility. The final stage is the official decision on admissions, which determines whether educators and education personnel are eligible to join.

Recruitment of educators and education personnel is the process of finding and attracting candidates as needed. The principle is objective, systematic, and professional. Recruitment policies are based on organizational needs with varied methods and techniques. The stages include preparation, registration, selection, interview, examination, and final decision.
