Regarding Journey East, they are just a recruiter, like so many others, but with one big caveat that they share with a few others here -- they charge the unwitting foreign teacher a nice little fee to place them in a job in China. There are probably 1,000 recruiters in China, given the foreign teacher frenzy at the moment, and nearly 99% do not charge the foreign teacher for their services. There are several notable exceptions however -- Footprints from Canada, GreenAcres from Chicago, Perlandis in Hong Kong, and now, Journey East. Their website is so, so slick and really quite informative -- very well done all the way to the bank.

There is NO reason that any foreign teacher in China should have to pay a recruiter to find employment in China. 100% none.
