The challenge
Online executive-education cohorts needed experienced tutors and facilitators at short notice. A conventional recruitment cycle risked delaying delivery or creating a last-minute search for people who were available but not necessarily suited to online learning.
The requirement wasn't simply to source names. Tutors needed to meet defined quality criteria, understand the delivery environment and receive ongoing support once teaching began.
The approach
Curio established a repeatable process for assessing, contracting and onboarding suitable tutors as demand arose. New facilitators joined the Curio Faculty platform and Faculty Lounge community, giving them access to guidance, peer connection and continued development.
Talent management continued after placement through individual coaching, group training and practical administrative support.
What Curio delivered
- Candidate sourcing and assessment against agreed criteria
- Contracting and onboarding within two weeks of identified need
- Access to the Curio Faculty platform and practitioner community
- One-to-one coaching and group development
- Ongoing talent, recruitment, HR and administrative support
- A scalable pipeline rather than a fresh recruitment exercise for every cohort
The impact
The model gave the program access to a responsive pool of online teaching talent, supported throughout delivery. The engagement began in 2020 and has developed into an ongoing relationship rather than a one-off recruitment campaign.
