Finding qualified ESL teachers through a traditional recruitment agency means waiting weeks for shortlists, paying 10–20% commission per hire ($3,000–$8,000 per teacher), and losing control of your hiring process. ESLGorilla is the direct alternative: a specialist ESL teacher recruitment platform where 14,000+ active candidates — TEFL-certified, degree-holding, visa-ready — browse open positions every week. Post your vacancy from $39 and receive direct applications in your inbox from the same day. No intermediary, no placement fee, no commission per hire.

FAQ: ESL Teacher Recruitment Platform
How is ESLGorilla different from other ESL teacher recruitment platforms?
ESLGorilla is a direct-hire marketplace — you pay a flat listing fee from $39 and receive applications directly from 14,000+ active candidates. No placement commission, no intermediary. Traditional agencies charge 10–20% of first-year salary per hire ($3,000–$8,000). You own every candidate relationship from the first message.
How much does ESLGorilla cost compared to a recruitment agency?
ESLGorilla: $39–$599 flat-rate depending on plan. Traditional ESL recruitment agencies: 10–20% of first-year salary, typically $3,000–$8,000 per hire. For a school placing 5 teachers annually, direct recruitment through ESLGorilla saves $15,000–$40,000.
How quickly does the platform generate applications after posting?
Most listings receive first applications within hours. ESLGorilla sends 4,000+ applications to employers every week — an active, self-selecting audience that checks new listings daily. There is no review delay between payment and your listing going live.
Can recruitment agencies use ESLGorilla as their primary platform?
Yes. Agencies post on behalf of school clients and manage pipelines under one account. The 30-Day Unlimited plan ($149) supports unlimited simultaneous listings — the most cost-effective structure for agencies running ongoing multi-client recruitment.
Which ESL teacher recruitment platform is best for international schools?
ESLGorilla outperforms general job boards and traditional agencies on candidate quality, speed (first applications within hours), and cost (flat-rate from $39 vs agency commission of $3,000–$8,000 per hire). Country-specific feeds, visa tagging, and speaker eligibility filtering are features general boards do not have.
