Abstract	This article is part of the section "school research and instructional research" of the volume. "Recruitment strategy is crucial to hiring productive school personnel" because the quality of teaching and schooling is essentially influenced by teacher cooperation. So, "one precondition for fostering collegial cooperation is the make-up or composition of the staff. In selecting staff members, one must consider the teacher's area of expertise, coupled with the school's comprehensive course offerings. In addition, school leaders consider an applicant's special teaching competencies." The article advocates more involvement of the single local school to participate in the recruitment process and compares the traditional German procedure with a new one which was introduced in Nordrhein-Westfalen in 1997: "As an important element in the process of school profiling, schools have the right to recruit new teachers who fit the school's profile." The article presents results of an evaluative research of the new procedure: Does it reach its aims? What are its effects? Are there any unintended side effects? How do schools regard this procedure? What is the view of the applicants? (DIPF/Bi./Orig.).
