International Education Recruitment Report
Data-backed insights to make hiring teachers easier this year.
More than a million education professionals and aspiring international teachers visit Teach Away every year to develop new teaching skills, find job opportunities and build their careers.
Each year, we survey our international teacher community on topics ranging from what they’re looking for in a new job (and where they go to find it) to their thoughts on what makes them want to stay at a school.
Now, we’re sharing what we learned over the course of developing this report, and what that means for your school’s recruitment and retention processes.
We did the research
We explored the experience prospective teachers go through as they search, apply and interview for jobs and how the quality of that experience is affecting your school’s ability to hire and retain the best educators.

For the second year in a row, online channels beat out in-person job fairs as the preferred method of finding jobs. Of the online job search methods available to candidates, education job boards took the top spot, followed closely by Google.
Our research shows it’s not all about the money or perks for candidates. Teachers are keen to join international schools that offer programs designed to refine their current teaching skills, while learning new ones.
Europe, Asia and Latin America again emerged as the three most popular regions for candidates this year, with respondents citing the excellent travel and cultural opportunities as the main draw. But don’t worry if you’re located outside of these regions — we’ve got plenty of recommendations to help you gain a competitive edge.
