Hiring great teachers is one of the most important and challenging tasks for any school leader. Research shows that teacher quality is the single most influential factor in student achievement. However, finding and hiring the best teachers is not easy. School leaders often have to deal with outdated and inefficient HR tools, large and diverse applicant pools, and limited time and resources.

That’s why we created Nimble, an AI-driven applicant tracking system that empowers K-12 schools to identify and hire outstanding talent for their classrooms. Nimble leverages AI assistance to help schools screen and evaluate candidates based on their potential to drive student learning and be retained in classrooms over time. Nimble also provides a modern and user-friendly interface that streamlines the hiring process and saves school leaders hours of work.

Nimble was founded and incubated at Stanford University by a team of educators, researchers, and engineers who are passionate about improving education outcomes for all students. We are backed by Y Combinator, one of the most prestigious startup accelerators in the world, and we have received the US Department of Education’s SBIR award for innovation in education technology. We currently serve some of the largest school districts across the country, including Los Angeles Unified School District, Denver Public Schools, and Baltimore City Public Schools.

Nimble’s core features include:

  • AI-powered resume screening: Nimble analyzes resumes using natural language processing and machine learning to rank candidates based on their fit for the role and the school. Nimble also provides detailed feedback on each candidate’s strengths and areas for improvement.
  • AI-powered video interviews: Nimble enables schools to conduct asynchronous video interviews with candidates using pre-recorded questions. Nimble then evaluates the candidates’ responses using speech recognition and sentiment analysis to measure their communication skills, personality traits, and teaching potential.
  • AI-powered reference checks: Nimble automates the reference check process by sending personalized emails to references and collecting their feedback through an online survey. Nimble then synthesizes the feedback using text analysis and provides a summary report on each candidate’s performance and professionalism.
  • Data-driven hiring dashboard: Nimble provides a comprehensive and interactive dashboard that displays key metrics and insights on the hiring pipeline. School leaders can easily track the progress of each candidate, compare candidates across different dimensions, and make data-driven hiring decisions.

Nimble’s mission is to ensure that all students, regardless of zip code, have access to amazing educators. We believe that by using AI to augment human judgment, we can help schools find and hire the best teachers for their students.
