China (Z-visa): Post 12–16 weeks out — CoE process takes 2–4 months
UAE / Saudi Arabia: Post 10–14 weeks out — factor in degree attestation time
Japan (COE process): Post 4–5 months out — the longest visa timeline in Asia
FAQ: Recruiting English Teachers Abroad
What does it mean to recruit English teachers abroad?
It means sourcing teaching candidates from the international ESL market — teachers who are actively researching visa sponsorship, salary packages, and living conditions in your country and ready to relocate for the right position.
How is this different from using a local staffing agency?
Local agencies draw from domestic candidate pools and charge 10–20% of first-year salary per hire. ESLGorilla gives you direct access to international candidates at a flat listing fee from $39 — no commission, no placement fee.
Can I recruit for multiple schools or countries simultaneously?
Yes. The 30-Day Unlimited plan ($149) supports simultaneous listings for multiple markets. All applications arrive directly to your inbox.
