Dusty, if you'll take advice in addition to John's, my response is to NOT go along with this.

First of all, I can't ever advocate signing a contract without some intention of seeing it through to completion. It's bad enough if the schools are dishonest; worse if we match their level. And it's a little disturbing to me that this company's own rep is recommending such an approach.

In addition, what I'm hearing from this recruiter rep is "Hey, why don't you help me fill my recruiting quota now, and you can deal with the bad situation later." Doesn't sound like a deal to me.

As I wrote above, there's little chance at any joy from a recruiter. Tell these guys to take a flyer and find something yourself.
