English Tree Staff Service specializes in native
English teacher placements for language institutes
and independent language schools in Japan. Our highly
personalized, comprehensive service saves you the
time, stress, research, and money that in-house
recruiting inevitably requires. Our commitment to
meeting your specific staffing needs, our diverse
candidate pool and our knowledge of the process
for bringing teachers to Japan ensures our capability
of matching you with the teachers that will prove
to be a good fit for your organization.
Ensuring that your school has the native teaching
staff it needs to effectively satisfy your customers
is of the utmost importance to language learning
schools. Costly overseas recruiting trips require
a great deal of effort in terms of advertising,
screening, interviews, interview space, etc…-
and this is without even including the considerable
travel costs of such endeavors. This can be a great
challenge to many language schools in Japan that
lack the budget for recruiting overseas. However,
with English Tree’s Staff Recruitment Service,
your school can gain the advantage of a
first class recruiting service but without breaking
the bank. We are working with schools across
Japan to provide them with the qualified staff they
need. We are confident in our ability to do the
same for you at a price you can afford.
English
Tree recruiters recruit native English speakers
from several English-speaking countries including
the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
The U.K., and South Africa. Recruiting all
across the English speaking world, we have
assembled a skilled pool of open-minded candidates
possessing exemplary organizational and human interaction
skills. Our wide-reaching system of recruitment
throughout the English speaking world combined with
our careful screening process guarantees your school
ready access to great candidates capable of satisfying
your staffing needs.
In Japan, English education is a highly competitive industry. To be successful, it is essential that your school has ready access to reliable, dedicated, and service-oriented teaching staff. However, due to the competitive nature of this industry, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find quality teachers.
Through
our careful recruiting process and personalized
approach to assessing and matching the needs of
your school, English Tree is fully committed to
providing your company with quality teaching staff,
fully-suited to your individual needs.
Save
Time, Effort and Money
Doing your own, in-house recruiting of foreign workers
demands a lot of time and money. Writing and submitting
job ads to foreign publications, traveling overseas
to screen, interview and hire staff is very costly
and time consuming. Further, arranging work visas
and understanding the complexities of immigration
rules and procedures associated with hiring foreign
staff can lead to a great deal of confusion and
frustration. English Tree will guide you
through this process to ensure all of your hiring
goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.
We are here to get you the qualified staff you need with minimum cost and effort on the part of your school. From advertising and screening to assisting with visa application and preparing your new staff member for life in Japan, English Tree takes care of everything you need to get the candidate you need when you need them.

await them in Japan. All English Tree personnel
have had the experience of living in a foreign country.

knowledge of life in Japan. These factors put us
in an especially good position to ensure your teachers
are well prepared for the experience of living in
Japan. We will ensure that your candidate(s) have
all the guidance and information necessary to make
a smooth adjustment and develop into productive
employees within your organization.
