Information for Candidates Wishing To Register with the Harry Deelman Branch of Search Associates
The Harry Deelman branch works principally - but not exclusively - with teachers of all nationalities specialising in the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP and/or DP). It does not in any way have any special "Asia" or "Thailand" emphasis; we place teachers in schools throughout the world.
Harry Deelman organises the London-February Fair for IB schools and he lends his support to Michael Williams, the main organiser of the Search Bangkok-January and Bangkok-Spring Fairs, by registering and assisting the IB teacher candidates who wish to attend either of these Recruitment Fairs. In addition, he also assists at the Dubai and London-May Fairs, hence IB-experienced candidates hoping to attend any of these five fairs should apply to register with this branch unless they have been registered with another branch of Search in the past.
Registering with the Harry Deelman branch
Whether you are a new or returning candidate you will need to complete the following steps in order to register with the Harry Deelman branch of Search Associates:
Step 1 - Online Application
Complete the Search Associates online Application Form by following the links in the right-hand column of this page. BEFORE starting this registration process, please acquaint yourself with the Candidate Fees of this branch of Search Associates and with the Terminology used in the online application form.
Step 2 - Submit supplementary documentation
- Add a passport size photograph (120 pixels wide x 155 pixels tall at 72dpi, JPEG format) to your Search Associates online Application. A light background provides more contrast and duplicates best; please be cheerful and smiling. You can access your Application to upload your photo by using the Candidate's Login form in the right-hand column of this page.
- Send us a summary Curriculum Vitae / Résumé, either as an e-mail attachment or by airmail.*
Step 3 - Provide confidential Evaluation Forms**
- Ask three or more of your Supervisors (Head, Principal, Head of Department, Year Coordinator, etc.) to complete a Search Associates Supervisor Evaluation Form, or Administrative Candidate Evaluation Form, or Intern Evaluation Form, as appropriate.
[The "Intern" form is for those who have just graduated from university and who seek a one-year "Gap Student" position involving some teaching and much extra-curricular support at an international school.] - Ask two or three Parents of pupils / students you have recently taught to complete a Search Associates Parent Evaluation Form.***
| ** | Candidates who are renewing their registration may need 2-4 new references only, to add to the older references we will have on file for them. |
| *** | If obtaining Parent references is impossible, or you prefer not to ask parents, then please ensure that at least FOUR confidential Supervisor references reach Harry Deelman. |
Step 4 - Pay registration fee
The registration fee can be paid in UK Pounds or US Dollars, by cheque (preferred) or bank transfer.
Together, the documents listed above form what we call a 'Search dossier'. This is the paperwork we hold on file for every registered candidate, to send out to the schools that contact us throughout the year when they are looking for teachers / heads / principals / etc. They are also the papers we duplicate for the school recruiters who attend the Recruitment Fairs we organise.
We do not give candidates access to the Search Associates Schools database nor enable them to receive the new vacancies daily update e-mail messages until they have completed at least Steps 1, 3(a) and 4, above.
