I doubt these people actually place 1,000 teachers a year, that's highly unlikely. I can say I am the King of Spain, does that make me so? Of course not, don't believe everything you read. He's just bluffing, and if he was not concerned he would not have bothered to email back you in the first place.

This fellow seems childish in the extreme, telling you that he contatced you because you told him not to? I wonder if he realizes bulls are color blind?

Anyhow, sounds like one of the more infantile idiotic recruiters out there, and that's saying something. I have seen this companies advertisements all over the place. While they likely place a fair amount every year, it's likely one tenth of the amount he actually told you, 1,000 a year, that's just pure bluster. Like I said, he was bluffing to try and discourage you from posting a complaint. With that kind of attitude and service? No way.

As for him taking 3 and a half weeks to get back to you, yeah, that's absurd. Most recruiters will respond by the next day. Sounds like this fellow has gotten too big for his britches.

Why don't you just do a google search of Yunnan and use different key words, like esl jobs, english teaching jobs, etc, etc. You'll have a heck of a lot more luck then you will dealing with the Huberts of the world, that's for sure.
