Question 1

How does JobRovers work?

Accepted Answer

JobRovers is a reverse marketplace — schools browse qualified ESL teachers, not the other way around. Teachers create a profile, subscribe, and go live. Schools search the catalog and contact teachers directly with offers. A dedicated JobRovers agent supports you through interviews, offers, and contract signing.

Question 2

Who pays — the teacher or the school?

Accepted Answer

Teachers pay a subscription to be visible to schools. Schools pay nothing — browsing and hiring teachers on JobRovers is completely free for schools.

Question 3

What does the teacher subscription include?

Accepted Answer

Both paid plans give you unlimited offers and interviews and visibility to schools worldwide. Standard is the core plan to get hired. Premium adds a Top Teacher verified badge, priority placement in search results, and more AI-powered tools.

Question 4

Is there a placement fee?

Accepted Answer

Placements within your own country are always free. For cross-border placements (relocating to a different country), a one-time placement fee may apply — you'll always see the exact amount before you accept any offer, never as a surprise.

Question 5

How do I get hired as an ESL teacher?

Accepted Answer

Sign up as a teacher, complete your profile (photo, bio, qualifications, and a short teaching video), confirm your degree, choose a plan, and go live. Schools find your profile in their searches and send offers directly through the platform.

Question 6

What countries does JobRovers cover?

Accepted Answer

JobRovers operates worldwide, with deep focus on Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East — high-demand markets for English teachers. Teachers can target any country, and schools from anywhere can search the catalog.
