We provide teacher placements around the world, supported by an established network of world-class international schools and a talent pool of high-calibre candidates.
For those focused on teaching in South-East Asia, choosing the right placement matters. Candidates need an opportunity that reflects their ambitions, while schools need educators who are eager to influence learning and make a positive contribution. Our ethos places people at the centre of recruitment, creating a strong foundation for lasting professional relationships.
International teacher recruitment built around people
ASQ International was founded following the exceptional success of our sister organisation, ASQ Education, which specialises in placements into UK schools. Since then, we have rapidly developed a strong portfolio of international schools that work with us regularly and on an ongoing basis.
Today, with offices in the UK and South Africa, ASQ International is an established organisation in international education recruitment. A growing number of candidates and schools choose to work with us because of our recruitment expertise and our commitment to keeping people at the heart of every placement.
For teachers considering South-East Asia
Teaching overseas can be an important step in your professional journey. It may allow you to bring your experience to a new school community, broaden your perspective and contribute to future learning in another part of the world. Yet the opportunity itself must still be right for you.
ASQ International works with candidates who are enthusiastic about influencing and enhancing education. By connecting talented teachers with international schools, we help candidates explore placements that align with their interest in teaching abroad.
Thinking carefully about your next placement
Before pursuing a teaching opportunity in South-East Asia, it is useful to identify what you want from your next role. Consider:
- The kind of international school environment in which you would like to teach.
- How the opportunity fits your longer-term career ambitions.
- What you hope to contribute to pupils, colleagues and the wider school community.
- Whether you are prepared for the personal and professional change involved in an overseas placement.
- Which aspects of a role you need to understand before deciding whether to proceed.
A clear sense of your priorities makes it easier to assess an opportunity on its own merits. It also helps ensure that your search remains focused on a placement where your abilities, outlook and enthusiasm can have genuine value.
For international schools seeking teachers
Successful recruitment is about more than filling a teaching position. International schools need high-calibre candidates who are motivated to engage with their school community and support the future of learning. ASQ International’s talent pool consists of educators who are eager to make that contribution around the world.
Our ongoing relationships with international schools reflect the value of a people-centred approach. We recognise that every recruitment decision affects pupils, existing staff and the incoming teacher. By bringing schools and candidates together, we support informed choices based on the opportunity and the people involved.
What schools can consider before recruiting
A well-defined requirement can help candidates understand whether a role is right for them. Schools recruiting for teaching positions in South-East Asia may find it helpful to consider:
- The teaching need and the contribution expected from the successful candidate.
- The qualities that matter within the school’s learning environment.
- What candidates should understand about the opportunity from the outset.
- How the role supports the school’s wider educational aims.
This clarity helps place the focus where it belongs: on finding an educator who can contribute meaningfully, rather than treating recruitment as a purely transactional exercise.
A considered route to international teaching
There is no single reason why a teacher chooses South-East Asia, and no two schools have identical recruitment needs. ASQ International provides the connection between candidates seeking overseas teaching placements and international schools looking for talented people.
Our established presence in international education recruitment, portfolio of school relationships and high-calibre candidate pool all support that work. Just as importantly, our ethos keeps individual aspirations and school needs at the core of the placement journey.
