Question 1

How do I hire English teachers for positions abroad?

Accepted Answer

Post a detailed job listing on ESLGorilla with your salary, benefits, and visa sponsorship information. Qualified candidates apply directly to your listing — no agency intermediary. Listings go live within minutes.

Question 2

Which countries are easiest to hire English teachers for?

Accepted Answer

China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam typically attract the most applicants due to established ESL industries and clear visa pathways. Middle East positions (UAE, Saudi Arabia) attract fewer but highly motivated, experienced candidates.

Question 3

What visa support do I need to provide to hire teachers abroad?

Accepted Answer

Most countries require employer-sponsored work visas. In China, you apply for a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE); in Korea, you sponsor the E-2 visa; in the UAE, you apply for an employment visa. Most schools work with a local visa agent or HR consultant for first-time hires.

Question 4

How much does it cost to hire English teachers abroad through ESLGorilla?

Accepted Answer

ESLGorilla charges a flat-rate listing fee from $40 — no placement commission, no agency fee. Your only ongoing cost is the listing itself, making it dramatically cheaper than traditional recruitment agencies which typically charge 10–20% of first-year salary.
