DataCamp instructors are subject matter experts with a passion for teaching, excellent communication skills, and a strong network of their own. If someone in the community fits this profile, it is the Instructor Recruiter's job to make sure they know who we are and why they should consider working with us. If their skills align with our current curriculum goals, an Instructor Recruiter invites them to apply for an instructor role, leads them through the application process, and assesses their application alongside our Curriculum Managers.

SCREENCAST - If the course outline is approved, we ask that potential instructors to do a quick 3-5 minute screencast presentation (similar to what is seen in our courses) going over one of the concepts/topics they will cover in their course. This way, they get a sense of the process and format of our courses and we can gauge their teaching and presentation skills.
