Selected

Review:

Selected is an excellent job portal for discovering qualified and experienced teachers of all ages. Teachers are easy to filter by expertise and grade levels, the hiring process is simple and efficient, and employers can reach out to teachers directly via messaging. The only downside is a subscription model without single job post pricing.

Pros:

• Job posts are advertised to over 40,000 candidates.
• Teachers must sign up to use Selected, ensuring that they are pre-screened and qualified candidates.
• 70% of teachers have a Master's degree or higher, along with more than two years of classroom experience.
• 40% of job seekers are people of color, making it a great diversity job board.
• Job posts are marketed to only match with candidates that meet your requirements.
• Job posts can be filtered by school type, grade levels, and more, to facilitate a targeted search.
• A candidate resume database allows employers to reach out to educators whom they like.
• Employers can submit unlimited job posts on either of the pricing plans.
• Schools can send unlimited messages to prospective candidates.
• Employers have access to useful resources, including recruiting best practices.

Cons:

• There are no free job posting options.
• There are no single job posting options. Employers must pay a monthly subscription fee to find teachers.
• Rival job boards, such as Learn4Good and SchoolSpring, have single job posting prices that are more affordable.

Reputation:

More than 1,400 schools in the U.S. use Selected to hire teachers, making it a reputable job portal in the educational sphere. While reviews of the job board are scant, their website's testimonial section highlights a pool of qualified and job-ready teachers, a streamlined hiring process, and a responsive staff as standout qualities.

Selected vs. Learn4Good:

Learn4Good has free and paid job posting options, and its costliest plan is still more affordable than Selected's most affordable monthly plan. You pay a higher price with Selected to access a pool of vetted teachers who are of the highest quality. Learn4Good lists vacancies for all educational levels while Selected focuses on K-12 teachers.

Selected vs. Serious Teachers:

Serious Teachers is an international job board that lists jobs for school and university educators, while Selected targets only K-12 teachers in the U.S. Selected costs slightly more than its rival but the price is justified, as the caliber of teachers on Selected are high and the hiring process is fast, frictionless, and highly customized.

Selected vs. SchoolSpring:

Both SchoolSpring and Selected are excellent educational job portals, each with different advantages. SchoolSpring is more affordable and sends jobs to multiple international job boards, while Selected targets U.S. teachers who meet very specific teaching requirements and who are vetted for their qualifications and teaching experience.
