OK, sorry, got it a bit wrong. Albus had little to do with her hiring, as far as we can tell. He was head of the Transfiguration department. She was working at the Ministry, but unhappy about her job. She declined a promotion, but instead OWLed Hogwarts asking for a job, and received a positive response within hours.
Either there were a lot more students then so an extra teacher was seen as a boon, or she was hired as some kind of assistant initially or who knows, Rowling realized things weren't working out the way she wrote canon.
