Good report there. Quite accurate at times. Whilst schools and recruiters do at times con and scam their recruits, it would be fair to give another side of the story too.

I have recruited quite a few teachers over the past 12 months, and I'm sad to say that some of them con us.

As a recruiter, we put a lot of time and effort into answering questions by teachers, of which many of them wont even come to us. But, that's the name of the game, and realise this.

Some teachers I've placed, were provided airport pickup and the first 1 week of free accommodation. No up-front fee was charged, but perhaps it should have. The reason is that some teachers do use and abuse schools and recruiters. The teacher then disappears leaving the school in a difficult situation with a financial loss.

Teachers I have placed got the same salary as had they gone direct to the school. So for a teacher using some recruiters, it can be beneficial. It doesn't always mean that the teacher pays for this service. Not all recruiters are bad. The teacher needs to weed out the good from the bad, like employers need to weed out good teachers from the bad.
