Yes. Your agreement with us is not exclusive - some of our partners recommend either abroad or online jobs available on teach.fm, depending on affiliate campaigns they are already running. However, you’re free to recommend both, and you can mix them together with other affiliate campaigns.

When you sign up as a teacher or a partner, we create a unique affiliate link for you, which you can share with other people. When a candidate signs up using your link, they will be added to the list of your referrals in your dashboard.

Note that all content on teach.fm has social media sharing buttons, which also act as referral links. This means you can share specific jobs or blog posts with potential candidates, and they will be tracked as your referrals as well.

We don't give exact quota per candidate. We prioritize providing more people with jobs vs earning more money. We curate jobs in order to provide more opportunities for candidates and don't charge recruiting commission when it restrains teacher from getting hired.

Referral fees for different types of positions vary significantly - it depends on the type of job (online, abroad), country, type of school, etc.

Our partners are paid on a monthly basis once they reach the minimum payment threshold of 150 USD. If you don’t reach the minimum payment threshold, your account balance will roll over to the following month.

Right now we use only PayPal Payouts as a universal system to wire commissions because of the global presence of our partners. We will try to add more ways to pay bonuses in the near future.

Creating a great profile on teach.fm, which includes uploading a CV and video, increases their chances to get hired, although in it’s not a strict requirement in some cases.

Yes, we send reminders to our candidates by email and allow them to send a video through YouTube or messengers if their internet connection is unstable.

If candidate's status doesn't change for a long time, the possible reasons might be the following:

• Candidate didn't not complete their profile or hasn't been invited for an interview yet
• The interview went well, but employer doesn't offer commission for this candidate
• Candidate rejected the offer/didn't pass trial period with the employer

Is there an easy way to see if teach.fm load new job opportunities onto their website or if a job opportunity is withdrawn?

Global pandemic and travel restrictions severely affected teaching industry. Compared to the previous year, the number of available online positions and interviews for overseas jobs plummeted.

At the same time, the number of people looking for an online position spiked, which makes charging referral commissions an almost impossible task. However, you can still recommend candidates looking for employment abroad or online. We still keep track of all candidates and pay referral bonuses when candidates are hired.
