How It Works

A Seamless Process from First Call to First Day

We handle every detail so your administrators can focus on what matters — running a great school.

Discovery Consultation

We start with a thorough conversation to understand your school's specific needs — subject areas, grade levels, school culture, and timeline. This ensures every candidate we present is a genuine fit, not just a resume match.

Candidate Sourcing & Screening

We draw from our network across 15+ countries to identify educators whose credentials, experience, and professional profile align with your requirements. Every candidate undergoes our rigorous multi-stage vetting process before you see their profile.

Candidate Presentation

You receive a curated shortlist of pre-vetted candidates with comprehensive profiles — credentials, subject assessments, interview recordings, and our placement recommendation. You choose who to interview and who to hire.

Offer & Visa Coordination

Once you've selected your teacher, we manage the full placement process: offer coordination, contract review, and end-to-end J-1 visa sponsorship coordination to ensure a compliant and timely arrival.

Onboarding Support

We assist with new teacher orientation planning, HR paperwork guidance, and integration support to ensure a smooth transition for both the teacher and your school community.

Ongoing Partnership

Our relationship continues throughout the contract term. Your dedicated account manager remains available to address any concerns, monitor progress, and ensure the placement is a long-term success.

Our Vetting Standard

Only the Most Qualified Educators Reach Your Desk

Our multi-stage evaluation process is designed to surface exceptional educators — not just available ones. Every candidate in our network has passed each of the following stages before being presented to a school.

Request Vetted Teachers

Credential Verification

We verify all academic degrees, teaching certifications, and professional licenses through official channels. Unverifiable credentials are an automatic disqualifier.

Subject-Matter Assessment

Candidates complete standardized assessments in their subject area to confirm content knowledge meets U.S. grade-level expectations.

English Proficiency Testing

All candidates must demonstrate professional-level English proficiency through recognized standardized assessments appropriate for classroom instruction.

Structured Interviews

Our team conducts in-depth behavioral and situational interviews to assess classroom management skills, cultural adaptability, and professional demeanor.

Background Checks

Comprehensive international background checks are conducted on all candidates, including criminal history, employment verification, and professional reference checks.

Teaching Demonstration

Shortlisted candidates complete a recorded teaching demonstration that schools can review as part of their selection process.
