What teachers are saying about us
Staffroom has succeeded in involving me in a novel career development experience I have never lived before and succeeded in triggering my ambitions once again. They have also taught me how to compete with myself rather than focusing on the achievements of others and focusing on improving my own life and career. Honestly, I haven't experienced any challenges till now concerning the training material. Everything is well-prepared and planned. The only challenge I have encountered is the job market crowdedness. Generally, this training unleashed my skills and potential and led me to discover new hidden strengths inside me that arise while working. Staffroom also has a very energetic team always keen on innovating to turn challenges into real opportunities, so I recommend Staffroom to anyone who wants to grow internationally.

EgyptIf any of my friends and colleagues in the international education world are struggling to get interviews or even responses from the schools they applied to, contact Staffroom. Staffroom has a wealth of knowledge and has helped me navigate through the new norms and ways of international school recruitment. They helped me whip my resume and cover letter into shape and I immediately had responses from several schools.

ThailandI want to let you know that I received a contract for my dream job and accepted a leadership position as Director of Athletics and Activities within an international school in Bangkok. After reviewing the training and utilising the strategies obtained from Staffroom, I was able to put forth the best professional and personal version of myself during the interview process. Thank you!

SpainThank you for helping me to revamp my CV completely and pushing me out of my comfort zone to try something different. I’ll never forget your message about my profile pic on LinkedIn - I was about to change it as I worried it wasn’t right and then your message gave me the confidence to leave it up as it showed me for who I am. The elevator pitch on my CV - I never thought I would do that. Having a CV that outlines results not just the day-to-day. What you are doing is amazing. Thank you! I’ll always recommend Staffroom to all who are looking for work and those who want to find staff!

VietnamI was waiting until I started my new job to post about it and write to you. I did your online course last year and found it so helpful. I fixed up my CV, wrote a new ATS CV using your template and did a lot of work to fix up my LinkedIn profile. I had 2 great interviews here in Hong Kong where I used the tips from the online course. So tomorrow I start at ****** here in Hong Kong which is an amazing international school that is very exciting and pays 40% more than my last school! Thank you again!

Hong KongI was recently needing support with writing an effective cover letter and impactful CV. Having been off the market for a long time my skills were outdated and I needed direction. I chose to work with Staffroom because I found them responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. They seemed to be helping others and having great results so I thought I would give them a try too. They helped me by coaching and empowering me to be part of the process of improving my writing skills in line with what today's market are looking for. I would recommend them because they not only made the whole process easy but they helped me to have more confidence in my own abilities and achievements. I now have some new skills which I can use to promote myself on the job market in the future.

ThailandFAQ for teachers
No. Staffroom is an online marketplace bringing teachers and schools together. Recruiters and job boards traditionally only work for schools. We work for BOTH teachers and schools, helping teachers get hired and schools to fill jobs.
Our platform is 100% free for teachers!
We work with all kinds of teachers, from new graduates to experienced veterans. Teaching experience is required, and it's preferable to have a degree also. Schools may also request references from schools you have worked in previously, as well as police checks from every country you have worked in. We can arrange a police check for you if you need it (for a fee). Please email us at [email protected] with the subject: POLICE CHECK.
As we've just launched, it may take a while for you to be contacted by a school. However, as more teachers join, more schools will be encouraged to use our platform, which increases your chances of being hired. New schools are joining weekly and searching for teachers!
Please click on the Refer tab at the top of the page and send the link to our site to your teacher friends, asking them to sign up. The faster we grow, the more schools will join!
We have helped many Non-Native English Speaking teachers get hired - read our testimonials!
Staffroom actively reduces bias in hiring by not showing your photo, name, gender, date of birth, or nationality to schools. Our platform also reduces proxy bias by not showing the name of the university you attended or past schools you worked in. Schools make the decision to contact you based on your subject specialty, degree qualification and years of teaching experience, as well as other non-biased profile criteria.
Schools will reach out to you when they have a vacancy that matches your expertise. You will need a high level of English language skills for most positions. We suggest that if your first language is not English, you aim for a level of IELTS 8+ or equivalent to be successful. Make sure you also take advantage of our free training on interview prep and more, so you have every chance of success.
When you sign in you will be taken to your profile page. You can edit this at any time just by clicking on the pen icon in the circle on the right-hand side of the page. Please keep your preferences and profile status updated so that schools can contact you with jobs that match your preferences.
Awesome! Make sure you take advantage of the free training that we offer before your interview and give yourself the best chance of landing the job. Make sure you leave us a testimonial when you get hired!
Our schools are required by a Code of Conduct to give you feedback within 5 working days after an interview.
If you haven't heard from them, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line NO INTERVIEW FEEDBACK, and we will follow up with the school on your behalf.
We believe every teacher who has invested time and effort in interviewing with a school deserves to get feedback to help them improve.
Awesome! We are so happy for you!
Ask the school for 48 hours to review the offer before you get back to them with your decision. You are not required to accept the offer if it doesn't meet your expectations. We recommend that you discuss the offer and its merits with your family and make the decision that is most appropriate for you.
Please respond to the school within 48 hours and advise them of your decision. If you plan to decline the offer, do so politely with the reason/s why. They may be willing to negotiate, however, be aware that many schools are bound by a salary and benefits scale. Regardless, always be polite and keep the door open for future opportunities.
Please try to reset your passport first. If that doesn't work, reach out to our customer success team immediately via email at [email protected] and we will help you resolve the issue.
Congratulations! All you need to do is set your profile status to "Hide my profile from schools" and you will no longer appear in the profile list shown to schools. You can re-activate your profile at any time when you are looking for your next job! If you want to delete your profile entirely from our platform, please update the field "Permanently delete my profile" to Yes, and we will remove your data completely.

Staffroom doesn't support the selection of teachers based on their nationality. Qualified and experienced teachers should be considered for hiring on their merits, not their passports.
However, we appreciate it may be challenging to meet visa requirements. We suggest that you reach out to teachers and have a conversation directly regarding the position and then explore if they are eligible for the visa.
Alternatively, filter teachers by their current location and try to find a teacher who is currently in your country and may not require a visa.

Your success is our success!
Staffroom identified a gap in the market for a fast, affordable teacher-hiring solution. We developed this platform because we understand that traditional recruitment methods for hiring teachers are slow and expensive. We know how challenging it is to find teachers in the current global supply crisis.
At this point, our platform is free for schools to hire, so your school can spend its budget on resources for students rather than hiring overhead.
We may start charging for access as we introduce more features into the platform. However, for now, it is 100% free.
It takes just 2 minutes to sign up and get immediate access to our teacher profiles. You can start contacting teachers for interviews immediately!
It's super simple! Once you have signed up, click on View Teacher Profiles. When you have identified the teacher you want to contact, just click on the button and start chatting with the teacher about your vacancy.
When your conversation progresses to the next stage, you can arrange a time to video call them through the platform. We include the teacher's current time zone in their profile so you can easily arrange a mutually convenient time.
We require all schools to abide by our Code of Conduct which ensures a positive hiring experience is had by both teachers and schools.
The Code of Conduct requires that schools provide written interview feedback within 5 business days after an interview (we have a standard form to make it super easy for you).
Should we receive feedback from our teachers that schools are not abiding by the Code of Conduct, we may cancel your access to our platform.
Excellent! We are so pleased that you've had success hiring through our platform! Please contact the teacher directly to discuss your offer.
