What can we offer that is different from other recruiters?

Many recruiters often do a simple matching of potential teachers and schools where no interview or just a short interview is done. There have been numerous incidents publicized over the years in which teachers are left less than satisfied with their teaching experience in some of our neighboring countries and schools having difficulty in managing their teachers. We believe that the reason for these spates of incidents is due to mismatched expectations between the schools and teachers due to a lack of a structured interview process as well as cultural differences. As a result, what we do differently is that we conduct a free interview for each candidate thoroughly (approximately 1 hour) to get the basic information like salary expectations, city preferred, etc as well as laying down the expectations on being a competent teacher in Vietnam. The candidate can clarify all their questions and doubts about coming to Vietnam too. Once the candidate agrees to proceed, we will then match him/her to an appropriate school or a language center.

Our goal is to have our schools or language centers having suitable teachers and qualified teachers working in good schools or language centers that fit their requirements.
