General Information About The Search Associates London-February Recruitment Fair
The London-February Fair is almost exclusively for major IB International Schools and IB-appropriate Candidates. The fair is designed for top teachers from around the world who are looking for positions in highly regarded IB international schools. The numbers accepted are limited to about 400 candidates and a maximum of 100 specifically invited schools (most of which bring two or more recruiters).
The schools recruiting at this fair come from a wide variety of locations worldwide; schools from Europe, Middle East, Asia / Pacific, Africa and the Americas are expected. Each year a major aim when inviting schools is to have a good balance as regards representation of those countries and regions which have strong international schools - without over-representation of any particular country or city. Almost all of the recruiting schools offer at least part of the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP and/or DP).
All Search Associates-registered Candidates, of all nationalities, especially those with International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP and/or DP) experience, or equivalent - and/or a strong interest to work in an IB school - are welcome to apply to attend the London-February Fair.
Interview opportunities normally present themselves at the Fair for all standard specialisms from Nursery / Primary class teacher (PYP especially) through MYP to IB SL & HL, in just about all subjects. In addition, Principals, Librarians, Counsellors and a number of other specialists are usually in demand at this fair.
Early application for a candidate place is important - best during October or November. Candidates who apply will only be invited to attend the London-February Fair if we consider that they match the needs of the recruiters who will be at the fair, and hence stand a real chance of being hired.
All candidates need to be free to attend on both of the two very full weekend days of meetings and interviews, and availability for interviews on the Monday of the fair is strongly recommended; candidates should arrange travel, etc. to enable this if at all possible. It is absolutely essential for candidates to check-in (with Search Associates) and to attend a Candidate Meeting on the afternoon or very early evening of the Friday.
