In-Person Recruitment for a Changing Hiring Environment

The way educators discover career opportunities is changing. Candidates increasingly engage through digital platforms, professional networks, referrals, communities, recruitment events, and AI-powered search experiences.

Digital visibility matters, but in-person conversations still create a powerful opportunity for candidates to understand a school’s culture, people, priorities, and community.

ISS EXPOs help schools move beyond a job posting by bringing recruiters and educators together in the same room for meaningful conversations, real-time discovery, and stronger candidate engagement.

  • Increase visibility for your school and open roles
  • Meet educators who are actively exploring international school opportunities
  • Build relationships with candidates before and during peak hiring season
  • Showcase your school community, values, benefits, and location
  • Connect recruitment, professional learning, and networking in one event experience

ISS EXPOs are open, in-person events designed to bring experienced educators, rising-star candidates, school recruiters, and education partners together in an energized setting.

Connect with ISS
Talk with ISS EDUrecruit® about how to pair EXPO participation with other visibility and recruitment tools.

Use EXPOs as Part of a Broader Recruitment Strategy

ISS EXPOs work best when they are connected to the rest of a school’s recruitment activity. Schools can combine in-person events with ISS EDUrecruit® tools to increase visibility before the event, engage candidates during the event, and follow up afterward.

  • Post open roles before the EXPO so candidates can explore opportunities in advance
  • Strengthen your school profile with details about community, culture, programs, and benefits
  • Use database access to identify and engage candidates before and after the event
  • Promote priority roles through website listings, social media, or featured email outreach
  • Use iFairs® to maintain virtual engagement with candidates who cannot attend in person

EXPO Participation

ISS EXPOs are designed to make in-person recruitment more accessible for schools with different hiring needs, travel plans, and recruitment budgets.

School booth and recruiter access per event: $3500
