Working with Cat from Embark Recruiting was truly a breath of fresh air. Having worked with several recruiters in the past, I can honestly say that Cat stood out in the most meaningful way. From the very beginning, she made me feel seen and heard. Never once made me feel pressured or guilty for being honest about what I was looking for. She was genuinely supportive, incredibly friendly, and always made me feel like she was on my team. Her approach was warm, human, and refreshingly free of any pushiness or gaslighting I’ve experienced before. I felt so safe and encouraged throughout the process, and I’m deeply grateful to have had her in my corner. I couldn’t recommend her and this company more highly!

Working with Embark Recruiting was a smooth and supportive experience from start to finish. From the initial contact, their team was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right teaching opportunity. What I appreciated most was how personalized the process felt. They took the time to understand my background, preferences, and goals, and matched me with schools that aligned with what I was looking for. They also provided guidance throughout the interview process and made sure I felt confident and prepared.

Advice for Future Teachers:

• Be honest about your goals and preferences—Embark really listens.
• Don’t hesitate to ask questions, no matter how small.
• Trust the process—they have strong partnerships and know the industry well.
• Be open to new experiences and challenges; teaching abroad can be life-changing.
• Overall, I’d highly recommend Embark Recruiting to any teacher looking for international opportunities. Their professionalism, warmth, and commitment truly set them apart.

I can’t recommend Embark recruiting enough. As a new teacher, I reached out to a few recruiters, but most of them gave me jobs that weren’t a good match for me, such as evening jobs, jobs outside of my location preference, and jobs without any housing stipend, which was very important to me. Embark was the only recruiting company that actually matched me with jobs that were a perfect fit for me. My recruiter, Lance, was so helpful and supportive; he was always willing to answer any questions and also helped me negotiate my salary too. I’m so happy at my school, and I wouldn’t be here without the help of Lance and Embark recruiting!

Working with Hannah has been such a pleasant experience! Hannah placed great emphasis on my comfort and being as communicative as possible during both the screening and work search process. Right away, Hannah found my ideal job for this stage in my career, and as a second-time mother returning to work, I was so surprised and grateful for her confidence in me. Thank you, Hannah!
