Why Schools Choose Us
Totally Teach Match delivers short, honest shortlists to your dashboard: candidates scored against your brief.
Honest Shortlists
A short list of teachers scored against your brief and reviewed by our team, who know your school. No more wasted interviews with candidates who were never a fit.
Retention-First Matching
The engine is built for placements that last, not just for a signed contract. Fit with your curriculum, age group and context is weighed alongside qualifications.
Less Sorting
You brief us once. Instead of a pile of applications you get a shortlist with the reasons behind each name.
Placement Follow-up
Our team follows the teacher through the first months and steps in early if the fit is wrong.
Recruitment Built on Your Brief
Our platform goes beyond traditional job boards: every candidate is matched against your brief on the factors a recruiter uses.
Matching a Recruiter Would Recognise
Every candidate is matched against your brief on the factors a recruiter uses: subject, age group, curriculum, experience, availability and location.
Pre-Interview Answers
Teachers can record answers to our five pre-interview questions. Where they have, you see them on the candidate before you meet.
References on the Shortlist
The references a teacher has added open to you once they are on your shortlist.
Safeguarding Checks, Held by the Teacher
Teachers upload their own safeguarding checks. Once our team has confirmed a document, you see which checks a candidate holds; we do not carry out the checks ourselves.
Candidates in One Place
Follow each candidate from shortlist to interview to decision on your candidates page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about hiring through our platform
What makes your teachers different from other platforms?
Every shortlist is scored against your brief on subject, age group, curriculum, experience, availability and location, then reviewed by our team, who know your school. You receive a few candidates with the reasons behind each one, not a pile of applications.
How long does the hiring process take?
It depends on the subject, the start date and the hiring season.
What if a teacher leaves early?
Our team follows every placement through its first months and steps in early if the fit is wrong. If a placement does not work out, talk to us: we would rather work it through with you than hide behind a policy.
Do you work with all types of international schools?
Yes! We partner with IB schools, British curriculum schools, American schools, and bilingual programs. Whether you're a large established school or a growing institution, we adapt our services to your needs.
How do you assess cultural fit?
The engine scores each candidate against your brief on subject, age group, curriculum, experience, availability and location. Pre-interview answers, where the teacher has recorded them, show you how they think.
