Providing New Tools to Transform Recruitment

Recruiting great educators is one of the most important and challenging responsibilities of international schools. Amid tight budgets, busy timelines, and a competitive global market, schools need a better way to identify candidates who not only meet qualifications but align with their values and mission.

The International Educator (TIE) offers exactly that: a powerful, standards-based, and cost-effective hiring platform that puts the right tools—and the right people—at your fingertips.

TIE is not just another job board. For nearly 40 years, TIE has supported international education by building systems that go beyond posting vacancies. As a nonprofit organization, TIE reinvests in schools by offering affordable, forward-thinking solutions that directly address the toughest challenges in hiring.

Here’s how:

The traditional two-page resume only tells part of the story. TIE’s Evidence-Based Portfolio allows educators to demonstrate how they meet the Standards of Practice for International School Educators with real evidence from their work. This gives school leaders a clearer picture of what candidates value, how they teach, and how they reflect.

• Review authentic artifacts of teaching and leadership
• Use aligned rubrics and guided interview tools
• Gain deeper insights before you schedule an interview

TIE’s online portal connects schools with a global network of educators, more than 90% of whom already have international experience. Post unlimited jobs, browse confidential resumes, and customize application questions to get the details you need up front.

You’ll find classroom teachers, specialists, and counselors ready to move, grow, and lead.

Getting the right eyes on your job postings is just as important as crafting them. TIE promotes your vacancies across multiple channels with a targeted, data-driven approach:

• Direct marketing emails with over 55% open rates
• Social media campaigns reaching over 40,000 educators on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram as well as 10,000+ newsletter subscribers
• Strategic banner placements on the TIE website and newsletter, viewed by thousands of active candidates

Whether you’re recruiting mid-year or ahead of peak season, you can choose when to boost visibility.

TIE offers unlimited posting and hiring at no additional cost. Marketing plans also include:

• Banner ads on the TIE site
• Targeted social media promotion
• Direct marketing emails for your vacancies

School Service Plans are cost-effective and scalable whether you’re hiring one teacher or building an entire team.

By aligning recruitment with Standards of Practice for International Schools Educators, TIE empowers schools to hire with purpose. You gain:

• Deeper insight into teacher practices
• Consistency in evaluating candidates
• Better-aligned hires for your mission and culture

It’s not just a better way to hire, it's smarter and more strategic.
