Why Schools Choose Global School Scout

More Than a Job Advertisement

A searchable school profile, current jobs, employer information, reviews, and applicant management stay connected in one place.

Predictable Hiring Costs

Post multiple vacancies without paying a new placement commission every time your school hires a teacher.

Support That Scales

Premium and Platinum plans include individual recruitment services such as sourcing, résumé prescreening, interviews, teaching demonstrations, and dedicated recruiter support.

The Difference Becomes Larger With Every Hire

A standalone recruiter charging US$300–US$3,000 per teacher could cost US$1,200–US$12,000 for four hires. Global School Scout Premium and Platinum include individual recruitment services such as sourcing, résumé prescreening, interviews, teaching demonstrations, and dedicated recruiter support—without a separate placement commission for every hire. For multiple hires, either plan can cost less than paying a standalone recruiter per teacher.
