I was promised a position with this outfit several weeks ago. However, they are stalling now. They said my applicacation has had to be put on ice at this point in time until the new employment process for Beijing's foreign teachers comes into effect. Sounds a bit fishy to me.

Have any of you ever worked for this outfit? If so, please elaborate.

Private schools in China can be dodgy employers. Apply at once to schools in the public education sector, either direct or through a recruiter. Then you won't be left high and dry if that Beijing outfit has decided to jettison you!
