The most important function of our teacher placement services is our commitment to teachers. We stand by our teachers throughout the duration of their contracts with lesson plan support and through any problems they encounter.
Footprints incorporated in October of 2001 and was launched in February 2002 and since then Footprints Recruiting has experienced tremendous success and has grown rapidly. Our clients currently include schools at the forefront of the ESL industry in Asia and South America, including a chain of 29 schools in Taiwan that employs over 450 teachers annually, public schools in China that hire over 300 teachers annually and over 130 schools in South Korea that hire over 1000 teachers a year.
Because Footprints Recruiting comprehensively screens both the teachers and the schools before working with either party, our teacher retention rate is over 90% - a statistic that is an industry anomaly. You would be amazed how many teachers initially apply with Footprints and in the same day visit 5 or 6 other sites where they also fill in an application form. This is completely understandable. But you should also note, many of these teachers chose to go with another recruiter because they contacted them first or because they promised this or that and then when something stuffs up with their placement we usually hear from them asking for help or another teaching job. Let's be proactive - let's work together right from the get go so you can focus on the opportunity and maximize the enjoyment you have throughout this whole process.
Footprints literally has hundreds of teaching jobs available every month. Work with us and let us show you our commitment to our teachers and to this industry.

“Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
