Human-led international recruitment
How is chk Education different from other international recruiters?
Every candidate meets us via a virtual call before reaching your shortlist. We combine human judgement with direct teaching and school leadership experience — never CV-only submissions or AI-led shortlisting.
We assess pedagogy, cultural intelligence and safeguarding understanding, then represent your school honestly and give you a realistic picture of the available talent pool.

Met by our team before shortlisting
Every decision
Made through human judgement, not algorithms

Built on sector experience and honest advice
Every candidate is known, not just screened
Every candidate meets us via a virtual call before they reach your shortlist. That conversation helps us understand the person behind the CV.
Pedagogy
We explore how candidates think about teaching, learning and the practical needs of the role.
Cultural intelligence
We assess a candidate’s readiness to work thoughtfully and effectively in an international school community.
Safeguarding
We discuss safeguarding understanding directly rather than relying on assumptions made from a CV.
No CV-only submissions and no speculative profiles sent without your briefing.
Human judgement, not algorithms
We do not use AI to evaluate, score or shortlist candidates.
Recruitment decisions need human judgement. A candidate’s suitability cannot be reduced to an automated score, particularly when a school needs to understand pedagogy, cultural fit, safeguarding awareness and leadership potential.
Our approach
Real conversations, informed assessment and accountable recommendations from experienced people.
International school experience changes the conversation
Our team brings direct teaching and school leadership experience, so we understand what you are actually looking for — not just what a job description says.
Teaching experience
We understand classroom practice and the qualities that help educators succeed in international settings.
Leadership experience
We recognise the realities behind a leadership brief and the context in which the successful candidate will operate.
A genuine hiring partner
We represent your school honestly to candidates and give you a realistic picture of the talent pool.
Clear, realistic communication
We are honest about what we can and cannot deliver. If a shortlist is going to take longer than expected, or the talent pool for a specific role is smaller than you hoped, we will tell you that upfront.
You receive an informed view of the market, not promises made simply to win a brief.
What you can expect
Honest timelines, realistic market insight and clear communication throughout the search.
