Candidates Beware of Recruiting Scams
Several international schools have recently had their web sites cloned, and candidates have been asked to send large amounts of money. AIS Vienna will never ask or require teacher candidates to send money for application fees, interview fees, visas, plane tickets or other costs associated with recruitment or moving to Austria. We will not ask potential teachers for information related to bank accounts or other private information. All international candidates are urged to be diligent in investigating potential schools during the recruiting process and prior to signing a contract.
