What Employers Ask of HR Recruiters

In France, Onboarding appears in 31% of postings, Sourcing in 25%, Payroll in 19%, Labor Law in 6%, and ATS in 6%.

Teacher Salaries in France and Czechia

What Employers Ask of Teachers

"Pedagogy" is the dominant skill listed in Teacher postings across every country measured. In Germany, it appears in 86% of 186 postings. In France, it appears in 94% of 755 postings. In Poland, it appears in 98% of 781 postings. In the Netherlands, it appears in 87% of 104 postings. In Sweden, it appears in 99% of 992 postings.

After Pedagogy, the skills listed differ by country. In Germany, Curriculum appears in 12% of postings, Differentiation in 8%, Special Education in 6%, Languages in 6%, and Assessment in 5%. In France, Assessment stands out at 36%, followed by Lesson Planning at 4%, E-Learning at 3%, and Classroom Management and Curriculum each at 2%.

In the Netherlands, Assessment appears in 11% of postings, Curriculum in 7%, Languages in 3%, and Differentiation and Montessori each at 2%.

What This Means for Job Seekers

For HR Recruiter roles, recruiting itself is the baseline skill employers look for everywhere, but a second skill, such as onboarding, sourcing, labor law, payroll, LinkedIn, ATS, talent acquisition, or employer branding, shows up frequently depending on the country. For Teacher roles, pedagogy is consistently the core requirement, with assessment and curriculum appearing as secondary skills in several countries. Job seekers checking salary expectations or building a CV for either role can see how these figures and skill lists compare country by country on NewLuxJob's salary and careers pages.
