Teaching is not a mechanical job and it is not done in isolation. Besides academic qualifications, teachers are supposed to have other personality characteristics to meet the demands of their profession. This study explored our Teachers Recruitment Policy (TRP) and procedures in comparison with the National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST). The objectives of the study were as follows: (1) To investigate recruitment processes and policies to understand the reported gaps or factors that contribute to the lack of quality of Newly Recruited Teachers (NRTs); (2) To assess the alignment between the NPST and the TRP; and (3) To inform research based on the TRP. The following research questions were used to meet these objectives: (1) What factors do the Teachers Recruitment Policy Designers (TRPDs) consider? (2) How do the Teachers Recruitment Policy Implementers (TRPIs) apply TRP? (3) What are the views of newly inducted teachers about the recruitment process? and (4) To what extent do the recruitment policies and processes align with the NPST?
