• some platforms take "massive resumes" as their selling point, but their resources are scattered and their quality is uneven, which easily leads to low screening efficiency, it is recommended as a supplementary channel rather than a main force.

1. stay away from platforms with lax qualification examination :
• avoid using platforms that do not require candidates to provide qualification certificates or work experience background, which are prone to resume fraud, qualification discrepancy and other problems.

1. use non-professional channels with caution :
• when recruiting foreign teachers on general social platforms (such as microblog and tremolo), it is necessary to verify the qualifications of candidates by oneself, and it is easy to be interfered by information overload and has low efficiency.

6. long-term planning and channel optimization

1. Build a talent pool :
• Collect high-quality candidate information through multiple channels, even if there is no current demand, you can also build a talent pool to provide resources for future recruitment.

1. data-driven decision :
• Regularly analyze the recruitment success rate, candidate quality and cost of each channel, and optimize the channel combination, such as reducing the input of inefficient channels and increasing the budget of high-value channels.

By systematically laying out recruitment channels, recruiters can reach target candidates efficiently and reduce employment risks. In the context of intensified global education competition, choosing the right recruitment direction will become a key step for organizations to improve the quality and efficiency of recruitment.

(Hint: the candidate's experience should be paid attention to in the recruitment process, and the professional attitude should be maintained even if the candidate is not employed, so as to maintain the reputation of the organization.)
