New Candidate Application


Apply for PK-12 private and independent school positions throughout the South by submitting an application to Southern Teachers Agency.  We have placed more candidates in the South than any other service.

Our services are free for all candidates.  No registration fees, no annual fees, no cost to candidates at any time!  Schools support STA because they recognize the value of STA's assistance in recruiting talented candidates.  If you are a teacher, coach, or administrator seeking a job in the South, then we look forward to working with you.
General requirements for candidates.

Here’s how to apply:  
      1. Completed STA application
      2. Your current resume
      3. A cover letter explaining who you are, what role you wish to play in a school, and why you are the best candidate for this role.  In addition, the letter should state your undergraduate GPA.

  Crucial information for Mac users!

  • Do not use the Apple "Preview" function to complete the STA form.  We will not be able to process your application
  • Download the latest version of Adobe Reader
  • Save the STA application to your computer
  • Open the Adobe Reader program, and use Reader to open the STA application
  • Follow the final steps from the section above

What happens next?

After you send the application materials, we will review your candidacy promptly. If we can assist your job search, then your assigned placement counselor will notify you and provide details about your online account.  Typical response time is 2-3 business days.

At this point, you can begin assembling a credentials file that we will send to schools.  This includes your resume, letters of recommendation, official transcripts from your degree programs, and, if applicable, copies of your teacher certification.

While not a requirement, we strongly encourage you to consider sending us a video resume. 

You will arrange an inteview (either over the phone, or, preferably, in person) with your STA placement counselor to discuss the specific parameters of your search.  We want to know your interests, talents, goals, and personality.

Your counselor will help you for the duration of your search, maintaining steady communication to discern the best opportunities based on your interests and talents.

Again, STA’s service to candidates is free!  You pay nothing—ever.

When only the best will do, rely on STA!
