Each season TeachLondon supports as many UK schools as possible with their immediate and future vacancies, but in a candidate-driven market it is harder than ever to service the needs of all schools we partner with, and inevitably it is the proactive London schools that secure our top tier candidates.
Each staff member at TeachLondon has worked in international educational recruitment for over 17 years, and are qualified teachers. We know that some trends never change and the old adage that the early bird catches the worm still rings true.
Early recruitment allows London schools to access a wider pool of potential candidates. This increases the likelihood of finding highly qualified and passionate educators.
Schools need time to plan and prepare for the academic year or future staffing needs. Early recruitment enables administrators to assess staffing needs, allocate resources, and organize professional development programs.
Educational institutions can gain a competitive edge by securing top talent before other schools do. Early recruitment allows schools to attract and hire the best candidates, especially in fields where the demand for teachers is high. Overseas teachers who have the right skills, specialisms, and passion for teaching, will be the first to be offered and accept a role.
When teachers are hired well in advance, they have more time to familiarize themselves with the curriculum, school policies, and their roles. This can contribute to higher job satisfaction and potentially increase teacher retention rates. This is especially true for international teachers who require more time to learn and understand how your school operates and plan appropriately.
Early recruitment provides an extended period for onboarding, training, and mentorship, ensuring that new teachers feel supported and prepared for their responsibilities.
Establishing relationships early with new hires allows for better integration into the school community, fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration among staff. Your international hire will want to connect with key staff and prepare for their new appointment.
Recruiting international teachers early not only benefits your school by securing top talent but also contributes to a smoother and more organized recruitment process, which ultimately creates a positive impact on students’ learning experiences.
