"Still, the best advice that one can receive is: do due diligence. Accept the word of no individual, pro or con, and deal directly with as many of your contacts as possible. Accepting the word of unknown persons on the internet is tantamount to suicide."
I agree with the above totally.But don't forget that recruiters are unknown persons too.As for my implied criticism of the recruiter's English,it has emanated from the actual job ad itself,which is riddled with errors.Re my inside info,the source is a recruiter who stressed that there has been a more rigid application of employment regulations in the capital - these days in Beijing,where New Bridge International requires FT's,they must have Western degrees to obtain their foreign experts' certificates,without which they are ineligible for residence permits.Of course,you may ignore what I've posted;that's your choice.
