Henry Liu on Hiring Teachers Internationally

At This Time, we're diving into one of the most niche — and fascinating — hiring challenges in education: recruiting Mandarin-fluent teachers from overseas. Henry Liu, Director of Talent & HR at Yu Ming Charter School, one of California's top public schools, breaks down what it actually takes to hire internationally, navigate visa sponsorships, and set teachers up for success in a U.S. classroom they've never stepped foot in before. From J-1 visas to H1B sponsorships, Henry gets real about the questions recruiters need to ask before chasing international talent — and why being upfront about your organization's long-term intentions can make or break a hire. Plus, how do you assess whether someone who's never lived in America can thrive teaching American kids? Henry's got a framework for that too. If you think your hiring process is complex, wait until you hear this one. Host: Eric DeSobe; add him on LinkedIn Guest: Henry Liu; add him on LinkedIn Watch on YouTube
