Your questions about International School recruitment, answered
Here you will find a list of common questions about hiring staff and the simple recruitment process with Searchality.
If you are a candidate looking for international school roles, you can see our answers to common questions here.
We hope you find what you’re looking for:
There are two types of user account: Administrators (who can do everything) and General Users (who can see information but cannot change it). There is no limit on how many of each type of user a school can have.
- add and edit profiles of a school
- add other users
- see all details entered in the account
- control any account payments.
- create new positions required
- take action with matched candidates (including ‘proceed’, ‘share’, ‘save for later’ or ‘not interested’)
Each account must have at least one Admin user.
- view general school profile information
- view and edit position requirements
- view and share matched candidates
General Users will be recruitment stakeholders within the school such as principals, heads of division or departments, or other members of the HR team. General Users are extremely inexpensive to add, with the goal of allowing maximum sharing within your school.
For groups of schools, you will also be able to create a Group Admin. The Group Admin will be the only person who can add a new school within a group. The Group Admin will automatically be an admin for all schools within a group, but the Group Admin can also assign an Admin user (or multiple) for each school within the group.
If you try to register as a school that already has an account with us, we will let the current Admin users know about your request so that they can add you in their system.

We’ve designed Searchality to solve the recruitment challenges that international schools face. We have personal experience of those challenges and decided that we could solve them.
The result is Searchality. We’ve built a beautifully simple, but brilliantly smart solution to help international schools to recruit great candidates and to help great candidates find and join you.
You can see a snapshot here of how we designed the solution for schools.
We’d love to know what you think. How can we make our solution even better? Do get in contact.
Yes, Searchality helps international schools recruit for any level of role.
Schools can define a broad range of criteria when they search for candidates, whether these are for senior leadership/administrative roles; or for more junior staff including those just starting out in their teaching career. (Of course schools can define any quantity of different roles based on different criteria. Importantly this doesn’t cost a school any more. There are never any per-candidate hiring fees as we have designed Searchality to be different from the usual school recruitment approach).
On the candidate side, when you complete your profile you can build in anything relevant to your level of expertise.
If you haven’t registered yet, you can register here. It’s simple to build your profile and you will be able to see first-hand the types of criteria we can use to help schools find perfect candidates and candidates find great roles.
Searchality do not run recruitment events or job fairs.
Searchality is different.
We do not overwhelm recruiting teams with huge lists of teachers. We refine the list to increase your chance of finding the right person.
We do this to make the process faster and simpler for everyone concerned. We know that teachers find it frustrating sending off applications and never getting replies. We know that big schools receive literally hundreds of applications with no time to filter and reply to all.
We took the decision that advanced machine learning and intelligence can help everyone involved.
Schools prepare the list of qualifications they need.
Teachers complete their profile showing their experience and interests.
Our bespoke Searchality matching solutions find the shortlist for schools.
Schools will receive the shortlist showing the level of match (vacancy requirements, vs teacher profile): at this point you can review all the shortlisted candidates and invite as many or as few as you like to interview.
There are NO hiring fees, regardless of how many teachers you recruit as a result of this matching. See more about our simple charging approach here.
The first step is to create your school’s recruiter profile. If you haven’t done that yet, sign up now. It’s free and simple.

Searchality was created by three friends with significant experience of international schools.
We built the company to help teachers, staff and international schools. It matters to our family, our friends, and our children to help motivated schools find the right teachers.
We’d love to hear from you!
You can read more about the founding team here (three friends keen to solve a problem for schools and teachers).
If we’re not recruiting right now, it might simply be that we haven’t realised what value you could add. Do get in contact. We love talking to inspiring people. Who knows where it might lead.
We have built our website so that you can access it from mobile phones, tablets or computers.
We do think you will find it easier to enter your information and create your profile using a larger screen and keyboard (i.e. a computer). However, any notifications (for example when there are matches to review) will come to your normal email address and you can open them on your phone.
We all love apps though, and plan to make a specific phone app available in the coming year. (If you have a specific need and want us to ensure we build it into the functionality, please do get in contact here).
