Upgrade from self-service tools to sourcing, résumé prescreening, interviews, teaching demonstrations, and dedicated recruiter support.
A standalone recruiter charging US$300–US$3,000 per teacher could cost US$1,200–US$12,000 for four hires. One year of GSS Basic is US$360 before the annual discount, with no placement commission. Recruiters can still be valuable for difficult searches; GSS lets schools begin affordably and add hands-on support when needed.
