Question 1

What countries can I recruit ESL teachers for?

Accepted Answer

ESLGorilla supports recruitment for positions in China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, online platforms, and more. Country-specific hire pages are available for each major destination.

Question 2

How is recruiting through ESLGorilla different from using a staffing agency?

Accepted Answer

ESLGorilla is a direct-hire job board — there are no placement fees or commissions. You pay a flat-rate listing fee, receive direct applications, and manage the hiring process yourself. This typically saves schools thousands of dollars compared to agency fees.

Question 3

What qualifications can I require from ESL teacher candidates?

Accepted Answer

When posting, you specify required qualifications (degree, TEFL/CELTA/PGCE), native speaker eligibility, experience level, and any nationality requirements where permitted by local regulation.

Question 4

How long does a recruitment listing stay active?

Accepted Answer

Standard listings run for 30 days. Close the listing early once the role is filled, or let it run to generate a pipeline of candidates for future openings. Subscription plans include unlimited listings.
