Abstract	Charter schools are held up as examples of the benefits of a freer approach to hiring teachers. Most studies of charter school personnel policies, however, overlook important variation in personnel practice within the charter school sector. Examining how charter schools use recruitment timelines and teacher compensation to complete for teachers in their local context, the authors found that charter schools most often distinguish themselves from their local districts by experimenting with merit pay. Despite competitive efforts, the school's performance--and not competitive recruitment or compensation practice--appears to be the strongest predictor of both the quality and quantity of applicants to a school. (Contains 11 tables, 2 figures and 15 notes.) (As Provided).
