What documents do I need to register with Edvectus?
To start, we will just need your CV/Resume (if you don’t have one or don’t like yours, read our tips and download our template here), and some basic details like your name, date of birth, and nationality.
The Edvectus recruitment team review all the registrations. They will first contact those who most closely meet our current and anticipated needs.
- The first contact will be by email (so make sure we are on your safe senders list), and we’ll usually arrange a brief chat or ask follow up questions.
- We will clarify your job search requirements
- We’ll ask you to complete your documentation and provide reference details.
- We’ll send you complete information for all jobs we feel are a match and ask you to review and agree to apply.
- If you say yes, we’ll submit your tailored application and interface with the school’s leadership and HR team.
- If you are selected for interview, we’ll help prepare you by sending tips specifically for/from the school including the types of questions this school may ask, and some key traits they are hoping to see.
- If you are offered, we’ll answer any questions and help you understand if /how you should negotiate and guide you through the offer/contract process.
- Finally, we’ll provide information about preparing to live and work in your new country and check in on you after you arrive.
If you register and don’t hear from us at all, it is likely you are not a match to our jobs. Please check the Registration information for clarification.
We do not charge teachers for our services, instead schools pay us for finding a teacher perfectly suited to their jobs. We are not a job board. Our matching process iscomplex and includes things such as the kind of teaching experience you have, your teacher training and curriculum background, your match to the visa requirements, how well your family status matches the school’s package, and how flexible a school is at any given moment with any given job. Our consultants are largely ex-teachers with significant HR training on top who go through extensive training and mentoring.
We save the school’s HR teams time and money because they don’t have to sift through piles of well-meaning applications from teachers who are not right for them, and we save teachers the wasted effort and heartache of dozens if not hundreds of unanswered applications.
Yes! We are a British company and abide by UK data protection rules. You are in full control of your data.
When you register, you will create an account on our Candidate Portal, and you can update and change your information through it. You will be able to customise and set up job alerts, apply for jobs, upload or change documents, change your contact info, personal and professional details, communicate with your consultant and more. Through the portal, at the bottom of the first page you have the options to put your job search on hold, and to delete your information altogether.
If you delete your profile, it will delete all the documentation and information we have. The only exceptions are legal – we are required to keep a record of when we send your profile to a school, if we place you in a job, and if we believe there is a safeguarding issue.
A CV, or Curriculum Vitae is another word for a resume. It’s got three basic parts for international teachers:
- Your name, contact details and other personal information
- Details of your tertiary (university) education, and teacher training/certifications
- Your full work history – a list of employers, when you worked for them, what job you did and any awards/accomplishments in your jobs
As we are a company headquartered in the UK with offices around the world, we typically use the UK term CV.
We know writing a CV is difficult especially because you don’t know what potential employers are looking for. We have a great web page full of hints and top tips, and a short video that tells you what you need to know.
International school jobs outside of your home country require you to obtain work authorisation from your new employer. In most countries the Ministries of Education and Immigration offices require you to have certain qualifications and experience to qualify and sometimes have minimum/maximum age restrictions, but they are different for every country. Additionally, each job comes with an employment package, which can include things like housing, flights and family benefits.
We prequalify you against what packages our clients are offering, what their experience requirements are, and what the countries immigration rules are to help your applications land where they have the best chance, and our client schools only receive applications from teachers they can legally hire.
