Another one that deserves to be transferred to the recruiters'section,which has many negative posts,most of them being for China.Discussion is unnecesary in this instance,another rubbishy operation.
Might I make a suggestion to the organisers of the ESL teachers' board? How about two boards,one for employment agencies and the other for educational establishments,both discussion forums?
In the light of what is happening in the PRC,possibly the world's biggest ESL employer,it makes sense to split the two categories in the way above.
What's more,we should have lower expectations of agencies than of direct employers.That's because agencies are in it for the money as opposed to direct employers,whose first priority ought to be quality and value for money.
