Overseas Recruitment Agents

I'm just wondering of anybody could share some experiences with good and bad agencies to go through? Or is it better just to apply directly to the schools (if they advertise)?

I am currently signed up with Teach Anywhere, Academics Limited, Teacher Appointments and Teach Away. As well having job alerts set up on various sites like TES etc. Are there any I am missing and should sign up to?

I should note also that I am in Australia.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a teacher. Not looking to teach english. I'm looking to work as a teacher in international schools. I'm primary (elementary) trained and experienced.

There's also COIS and TES. COIS organise recruitment fairs, for which you register but don't have to pay a registration fee, and they also have a vacancy section on their website. The TES website has an international jobs section, and costs nothing to view.

Like ichiro I'm unfamiliar with the agencies you've mentioned but as he said that's not an indication of their value or quality. However I think that ISS, COIS, TIE and Search are the big 4.

In my experience UNI seems to have a stronger US appeal and the TES a stronger UK appeal.

Thanks for the advice.

The recruitment agents I mention are Australian and UK based, perhaps why you haven't heard of them.

I'll look into all the other ones mentioned.
