The study aimed at exploring what school principals look for in a teacher candidate and what factors influence their hiring decision. The factors included the teacher’s credentials and character, religion, affiliation with the principal’s leadership style, job recommendations, and nepotism. A total of 27 principals from various private schools in Lebanon participated in this study. The study relied on 27 close-ended questions and 10 open-ended questions collected upon studying ample surveys from existing similar research studies. Data were collected and analyzed.
