How to hire teachers in Asia

In general we have found that teachers who are living in Asia already are some of the most reliable and consistent teachers to hire. The first step is to write a detailed job ad, which is an important part of finding high-quality candidates. Then you can post a job ad here and applicants will start to send you their CVs and cover letters within a few days. After that, select the most motivated applicants to a telephone or skype interview and then ideally hire them. It’s a good idea to be up front about salary & living accommodations so that teachers will know what to expect.

We stand behind the quality of our product and value of our service. If for any reason you are not happy with your job ad purchase, we will give you a full refund within 30 days of the job ad expiration. Just email [email protected] and we will give your money back.

How can I pay for a teaching job ad?

We used 2Checkout as our payment processor which is a secure payment processor that will allow you to use most major credit cards to purchase. If you require an invoice or would like to pay by another method, please email us at [email protected]

What information should I include in my teaching job ad?

The essentials are school name, position description, salary, location and type of teaching (English, for kids, Math etc). Beyond that you may have more applicants if you provide more detailed information about your school or program. Many applicants use this information to try and understand the ‘legitimacy’ of the school and how seriously they take academics. Then you should also be open about the types of teachers you are looking for. It is quite different to say ‘English teachers’ as opposed to ‘Professional English teachers who are comfortable teaching high-level grammar, in company to other business professionals’. The more information you provide, the better, from the applicants perspective.

What is the best way to recruit English teachers in Asia?

We have found that your strategy for recruiting teachers should depend on how many you are looking to hire. If you just need 1 teacher then we recommend that you label your job as an urgent hire and that you are ready to start interviewing candidates soon. This will help you get applicants who are ready to work in that Asia. If you are hiring more than 1 teacher then you may want to purchase a ‘featured’ job upgrade, which will give you 18% more CVs and make it easier to fill your positions. If you are hiring more than 5 teachers per year, our recruiting service will allow you to bypass the traditional waiting period and we will hand-pick 10 qualified candidates from our CV database and send them directly to you.

How many teaching positions can I hire for in a single job post?

This is up to you – you can state that you are hiring for one or multiple teaching positions in your job description. However, we recommend that if you need to hire more than 1 teacher you may want to upgrade to a ‘featured’ job post in order to receive more CVs in the same 30-day job post duration.
