Abstract:

Purpose: This study aims to design clear and structured guidelines to ensure that each stage of the teacher recruitment process is conducted consistently and in accordance with established standards.

Research Methodology: This study adopts a research and development (R&D) approach using the Thiagarajan et al. 4D model, which includes four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and questionnaires, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods.

Results: The teacher recruitment manual comprised objectives, procedures, and selection criteria. The development process followed the 4D stages, resulting in validation scores from HR management experts (41 points, 75%), education management experts (32.5 points, 81%), and language experts (54 points, 98%). Practicality testing with stakeholders achieved a score of 4.24 (85%), indicating that the manual is practical and ready for use.

Conclusions: This study successfully produced a teacher recruitment manual that meets expert validation standards and is deemed practical by stakeholders, making it suitable for implementation in educational institutions.

Limitations: This study was limited to a specific institutional context, which may affect the generalizability of the results. Broader application would require adaptation to different educational environments.

Contribution: This study contributes a validated and practical recruitment manual that can serve as a model for improving recruitment consistency and quality in educational institutions.
