Tes connects schools with the world’s largest network of qualified, vetted candidates
Dubai, Sept 15, 2026: For school leaders in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the wider Gulf region, finding and retaining exceptional teaching talent has never been more competitive.
International schools are expanding faster than the qualified talent pool, and the schools that set the standards in the region are not the ones with the biggest budget, they are the ones with the smartest recruitment process.
That’s where Tes comes in.
Tes understands the realities schools in the Middle East face. They connect you with the world’s largest network of qualified, vetted candidates. School leaders get direct access to candidates who are actively seeking international placements, filtered by subject specialism, curriculum experience and visa readiness.
Finding the right teacher
You can hire the right teacher with speed and precision. Safeguarding checks, qualification verification and reference workflows are built directly into the process so that you can move from shortlist to offer with confidence. Speed and certainty are important when you are competing for the same small pool of outstanding candidates that every school in the Middle East is chasing.
How do we know the applicants are outstanding? Schools shortlist 30% of Tes applicants who apply, proving they have the right experience, qualifications and values. They will help your school put the best foot forward.
Making your team more effective
For HR teams and principals juggling multiple vacancies, across multiple locations in a single term, Tes’s applicant tracking system brings order to a chaotic process and increases your team’s efficiencies. Every vacancy, applicant, interview and decision is tracked in one place with the full visibility of governors and leadership teams. Your team can respond to changes quickly and move the right candidate through the process without handing over between systems. They can provide the candidate experience that gives your school the edge.
Made for international recruitment
For international schools in the Middle East, the right teacher can transform a classroom, and the wrong teacher costs a school an entire academic year. With Tes, schools can reach the right teachers earlier, hire with more confidence, and secure the staff who will make a lasting difference.
