BANGKOK
VIRTUAL

Fair Organizers: Nick Kendell, Harry Deelman

Thank you for visiting our Bangkok Asia Schools Job Fair page.

 

Search Associates is deeply committed to resuming our in-person fairs if we are able to do so safely, and effectively. At this time, there is still uncertainty regarding safety protocols, travel restrictions, border closures, visa issues, etc. related to the pandemic. Therefore, a decision has been made not to hold the 2022 Bangkok January fair as an in-person event. The 2022 Bangkok Asia fair will have a broad regional focus, and will be virtual in format. 

 

Domestic-only experienced candidates should please review the candidate details on the job fairs page of our website and request an invitation that is best suited for their experience. You can also reach out to your Associate for guidance on these matters.

 

We expect to attract a good number of schools from around the world as well as a large number of highly qualified educators. Our virtual fair platform has seen some improvements since last year, adding more personalized interactions between candidates and schools, improved messaging and scheduling tools.

Criteria For attendance

This Fair is for candidates who are certified to teach, with 2 completed years' international experience gained beyond the home country, and is strongly recommended for candidates with at least one year's full-time experience teaching one or more of the IB or UK curriculum programmes, seeking placement in the regions the Fair serves. 

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: DUE TO STRONG DEMAND, CANDIDATE REGISTRATION FOR THIS JOB FAIR IS NOW PAUSED,

CANDIDATES WHO ARE ALREADY INVITED, BUT HAVE NOT YET ACCEPTED THE INVITATION, MUST DO SO BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 15 2021.

JOB FAIR INFORMATION

This regional Fair is intended mainly for our member schools in Asia. Attending candidates are internationally experienced. Preference is given to candidates with at least one year's full-time experience in teaching one or more of the IB and UK curriculum programmes. If you would like to recruit at this job fair, and have not received an invitation by September 01, please email Harry Deelman on hdeelman@searchassociates.com requesting an invitation.  Please note the bullet points below....

• The Fair's Time Zone is Indochina Time (UTC+7:00).

• Search Associates' improved Virtual Fair Portal underpins the operation of this Fair. Communication with candidates should be through the Virtual Fair Portal. This will open from your school's dashboard one week prior to the start of the fair, to enable you to research attending candidates before the 2-day fair begins.
  

• Schools can screen candidates prior to inviting them to interview using the Virtual Fair Portal's instant chat function, and may also invite candidates to a 5-minute video conversation (using their own video platform), at any point during the Fair, for candidates you are considering for interview, but are not yet certain about.

• We very strongly encourage attending schools to make a School Presentation video. These will be accessible to candidates through the Virtual Fair Portal. Schools choosing a live presentation slot during the scheduled Q&A periods can assume the candidate audience has already viewed your video, and has questions to ask you. This face-to-face opportunity is highly valued by candidates and recruiters alike. Your Q&A session will be recorded, so it can be available to candidates whose time zone makes it difficult to attend your live session.
  

• All information on attending candidates is provided to you securely through the Virtual Fair Portal. Candidates have further been advised to make a one-minute self-presentation video, which schools can access through a link contained in the candidate's Search Associates account.
  

  Please email any questions to Harry Deelman on hdeelman@searchassociates.com.

 

Nick Kendell and Harry Deelman (Fair Organiser)

The organisers of the Bangkok Asia Schools Virtual Fair are Senior Associate Nick Kendell and Harry Deelman.

During the course of the event, live support for schools and for candidates will be provided both by the organising team, and by other Search colleagues, in the aim of covering all relevant time zones as fully as possible.

Nearer to the start date of the event, the organising team will provide candidates and schools with full orientation and instructions for the practical implementation of the event. We are of course ready to answer any questions participants may have, prior to and during the event itself. For schools and candidates, a virtual fair requires careful and extensive preparation in order to derive optimum benefit from the experience. The need for managing your time, good communication, keeping on top of scheduled interactions, and making time for research is more accentuated in the context of a virtual fair, than is the case for a traditional physical job fair. Our aim, therefore, is to fully support candidates and schools in achieving those goals through deploying our team of experienced Senior Associates.
