How to leverage Schrole Connect/Tes Staff Management for your recruitment needs

Recruiting the best educators for international schools requires efficiency, precision, and access to a global talent pool. With increasing competition for top teaching talent, schools need a streamlined recruitment process that helps them attract, evaluate, and secure the right candidates quickly.

Tes Staff Management (previously known as Schrole Connect) is designed to support schools in achieving exactly that. Here’s how you can make the most of its features to enhance your recruitment strategy.

1. Access a global database of qualified educators

International schools often struggle to find candidates with the right qualifications and experience. Tes Staff Management provides access to an extensive database of educators who are actively seeking international teaching opportunities.

• Use advanced search filters to find candidates based on location, experience, qualifications, and subject expertise.
• Connect with teachers who have experience in IB, British, American, and other international curricula.

2. Post and manage vacancies with ease

Posting a vacancy should be straightforward and effective. Tes Staff Management allows schools to create and manage job postings seamlessly.
