HI, it was working earlier but now it's also down for me, too.
(vietnamteachingjobs.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500).
Check back tomorrow.
Anyway, a friend of mine has been teaching at VUS for a number of years and they're constantly advertising on Facebook to get people to teach at their various branches including the one in Vũng Tàu, a beach town about 2,5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City/Sài Gòn. One of their recent ads said "Contact Urgently" and mentioned a "signing bonus", so they're definitely looking for people, as are many schools throughout the country.
Search for "VUS Vietnam" to find their English language website. But also have a look at as many other options as possible because there are many schools in Vietnam, so shop around before making a decision or committing to anything.
Colinoscapee posted a link to a Facebook group (Vietnam ESL Teachers). If you're on FB, there are a number of other English Teaching in Vietnam and Expats in Hanoi, Danang, Hoi An, HCMC, Vung Tau, etc. groups, where job ads are posted.
I suggest you avoid Hanoi and HCMC though if possible.

VUS only offer part-time contracts to new employees that already have a TRC from another company. That is their version of a probation contract, before they offer you full-time. So it seems they just poach from other employers who actually supported the employee's initial business visa/TRC process. This is for applicants already in Vietnam.

Hi Clip,

Thanks,

Yes, I was a bit hesitant to mention them because I know they have that type of corporate business model, but all the major 3-letter schools in VN are like that. That's why I always recommend caution and careful consideration of who to work for.
Mainly, I mentioned them in case the OP needs to line up something quickly, and because they have a lot of branches, which allows teachers to avoid living in HCMC or Hanoi.
Anyway, my impression is that nowadays most, if not all schools are quite desperate for teachers for some strange reason. So, it would seem that currently the schools are in a position where they need to be a bit more generous than they were in the past.
Basically, it's looking like a teachers' market so job seekers need to take advantage of the situation while it lasts.

Dear Clip,
Thank you for your swift response.
Regarding your application, we are afraid that we will continue the recruitment process only when you have a valid TRC/visa to stay in Vietnam. As a result, we are not able to continue the selection process for now unless your situation changes.
We wish you all the best in your job search and I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Most companies in countries work like that, you have to have a visa. No one is poaching anyone.

@SimCityAT It's not about having a visa. The point here is they require a TRC. Yola, for example, will support a new teacher with the process to acquire the TRC themselves.

1I don't see how there could be a potential teacher in Vietnam with a business visa but no TRC unless they are in the middle of being supported by another employer.
I believe this is VUS policy since before the pandemic and visa restrictions.

In the past, a legal 3 month business visa was available through VOA.
Since employers have 90 days to get a work permit, it's conceivable that a person could be hired while in country on a 90 day VOA business visa, should they become available again.
Based on how immigration cracked down on people working with tourist visas, a business visa seems to be the safest option.
I'd recommend that job seekers demand that employers arrange for a business visa prior to starting work.
