Since 1955, ISS has placed almost 20,000 teachers and administrators in overseas schools. Utilizing state-of-the-art recruitment technologies and a personalized screening approach tailored to each school's needs, ISS is able to present the most qualified teaching and administrative candidates for service in international schools around the world. In addition to continuous year-round placement, ISS hosts many International Recruitment Centers (IRCs) in the United States and abroad each year. Recruiting administrators conduct interviews during the IRCs with experienced, highly qualified teaching and administrative candidates.

Throughout the year, schools recruiting through ISS can be confident of the following:

• Only candidates with strong professional credentials and the motivation to succeed in overseas work are accepted as ISS candidates.
• Teaching and administrative candidates are well-qualified, generally having at least two years of current full-time experience in their fields of specialization.
• Candidates' career documentation (including references, transcripts, and certificates) will be carefully verified by ISS.
• At least 30 percent of ISS candidates have experience working abroad.
Each year the ISS candidate pool includes more than 1,500 teachers and administrators in all fields of elementary and secondary education.

Schools use ISS placement services to fill staff vacancies in two ways:

• Through our year-round search service
• Via attendance at our ISS International Recruitment Centers (IRCs)
  

When a position search is requested,  ISS immediately screens our candidate database and notifies those best qualified for the opening. Simultaneously, full professional dossiers are forwarded to the recruiter for review.

Schools may choose to use our recruitment services via our comprehensive subscription plan or on a fee-for-service basis. Annual fees are based upon school enrollment and covers a comprehensive selection of ISS recruitment services:

• Attendance at all ISS International Recruitment Centers (IRC's) scheduled during 2010 by any number of recruiting administrators representing the school.

• Fall mailing of The ISS Directory of International Schools, 2009/10 edition (based upon previous year's subscription status).
• Under this agreement, no placement fees will be assessed to the school or candidates hired.

Recruitment assistance is also available on a fee-for-service basis. Please contact ISS for a current fee schedule.

Services for Teaching and Administrative Candidates

Most candidates obtain their overseas teaching and administrative positions by attending our International Recruitment Centers (IRCs) where ISS candidates have the potential to interview with overseas school heads seeking new staff. The ISS International Recruitment Centers (IRCs) are a proven resource for school administrators seeking to fill teaching and administrative posts. ISS sponsors many IRCs annually, the majority of which are in January/February/March and one in late June. Registration materials for the IRCs are sent to overseas schools each September.

Before requesting IRC registration materials, visit our Frequently Asked Questions about recruitment to see if you qualify as a candidate.
