To my mind, an agent is being paid on an ongoing basis for providing a school with a foreign face. The school pays the agent, who in turn pays the foreign face. The foreign face's contract is with the agent, not with the school.
In contrast, a recruiter receives a single payment from a school for the foreign face he has peddled successfully. Thereafter, the school pays the foreign face direct, and the foreign face's contract is with the school, not with the agent.
If the original poster knows this difference, I'd say the agent he wrote about is also the company he mentioned. Said poster dare not name that agent, for fear of negative responses from those readers who despise Chinese agents, and indeed recruiters too!
