This is the first time we worked with TIC Recruitment. From the first moment they were extremely responsive to our needs and made every effort to understand our school and, thus, find a suitable senior leader for us. They were supportive at every stage with advice, practical support and good humour. Communication was swift. They made the whole process so much smoother. We will definitely be working with them in the future for our recruitment needs.

I have worked with TIC for the past eight years and always found them to be extremely responsive to our needs. Recruiting can be a very fraught experience. I like the way in which TIC work closely with the school to ensure the best fit. Over the years we have appointed a number of fine educators.

IS Havana has worked closely with TIC for several years now. Andrew and his staff are attentive to both our very special situation and our specific needs when we ask them to help us look to find the right expatriate teachers to add to our team. Our unique context makes the work for TIC even more complicated than it might be elsewhere where perhaps not the same constraints exist. I have been delighted to work with TIC; I have always been appreciative of the flexible and cooperative approach they bring to their work and I regard them as my 'go to people' when the chips are down.

I've worked with the TIC team since the company was launched, over 10 years ago. The services they provide to teachers and international schools is outstanding, they tailor everything to their clients needs and always go the extra mile. TIC really understands the international schools market, they make sure that they visit schools to find out what it's like to work and live in a location - by doing this they can match teachers skill-sets to schools perfectly. I would recommend TIC to teachers looking for an international post and international schools looking for high quality staff. The service

I can truly say that TIC has been an excellent company to work with! The team is very professional and helpful. Mr Wigford has a wealth of knowledge on different schools and countries around the word. I first went to teach abroad in 2007 and when it came to researching a particular school or country, Mr Wigford was one of my go to person! It was also really nice to see that TIC not only help you find the correct school but they also visit the schools in person to check on things. I would highly recommend TIC to anyone!
