Hiring Pathways
Thank you for your interest in Highline Public Schools! There are several pathways in which to be hired at Highline.
Site-based Hiring
Positions are posted, screened and interviewed at the school or department location.
Position groups include classified, certificated/ESA, administrative and guest/substitutes.
Pool-based Hiring
Some positions are posted as an applicant pool position in order to obtain a list of general, qualified candidates. These postings are not for specific locations. We encourage you to also apply for individual positions as they open.
Position groups include classified, certificated/ESA, administrative and guest/substitutes.
Centralized Hiring
Positions are posted, screened and interviewed throughout central office.
Position groups include classified, certificated/ESA, administrative and guest/substitutes.
Cadre Hiring
This is a centralized process for teacher candidates only. Each winter through late spring, a dedicated team of HR staff and Principals/Administrators schedule and interview top candidates. Upon the successful completion of the selection process, a candidate may be offered an early contract for next year's vacancies. Mutual placement decisions are made between site-based schools and the cadre hire.
