This is based on my own personal experience. There wasn't a formal interview process. The only time I spoke to someone face-to-face was during a video onboarding meeting, which they scheduled via email after my application and background check were completed.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at ESS (Cherry Hill, NJ) in Aug 2025
Interview
I had to complete and submit the application form for substitute teacher, and I had a phone interview a couple of weeks later. They asked me two questions, i.e., why I want to work as a substitute teacher, and about my previous job experience.

Question 1
About my previous job experience and the reason for taking the job
The interview process is done online. All paperwork needs to be uploaded. Once your references are complete and background check you have to wait for an acceptance email. Then you’re good to go.
