What can educators expect at their first Recruitment Fair? (IRC)

Bruce McWilliams, ISS Vice President and longtime overseas educator and adminstrator, describes what you can expect at your first international recruitment

fair (IRC).

Come join us at an IRC!

If you are interested in attending one of our upcoming events, please keep in mind:

  • You must be an Active member of ISS in order to attend any event.
  • You must submit your application by the application deadline.
  • Your file must be Active by the registrationdeadline.
  • Once your application is submitted, your file will be reviewed. You are not yet an active member.
  • After your file is reviewed, we need 2 things to make you an Active candidate:
    1. Confidential supervisory references: 3 for administrative candidates, 2 for all others.
      To prepare for the review of your file, we suggest you follow up with your confidential referees and notify them of the email they will be receiving from ISS. This will expedite the approval process – and we can activate you immediately once we review your file.
    2. Partner Statement*
      *Only required if you have an accompanying or non-accompanying spouse
  • The review process can take up to 10 business days during our busy season – we receive hundreds of applications weekly and we review them in the order they are received, to be fair.  Please be patient.
  • Apply as early as possible!  This gives you the best chance of being an Active candidate in time to register!

Successful Recruiting Starts Here

Dr. Rob Ambrogi, ISS Vice President, shares helpful tips for a successful recruitment conference.

"The IRC was an amazing experience...everything was so well organized. The ISS staff at the fair were friendly, helpful, and most importantly, they showed genuine concern for those of us were going through the stressful task of interviewing and making life-changing decisions. There were so many great schools represented at the fair, that I felt spoiled for choice. I had opportunities to interview with my dream schools and then I had the happy challenge of deciding between multiple offers from amazing schools. The IRC exceeded my expectations in every way." -ISS Candidate
