Once in a while you run into an honest recruiter, albeit as rare as pandas, that has seen the light. I once used a recruiter a few years back and every thing she told about what school I had and where it was turned out to be 100% true. Personally, she found out that in being honest she could get more schools as clients and more teachers to recommend her as a recruiter. I used her again a few years back and again all that she promised she delivered. From what I have seen, foreign teachers have done a bait and switch on her. I once met a foreign teacher who she sent to a university in Nanjing to teach French. A couple of months later he was offered higher pay at another school and just picked up and left. He was a real scum-bag.

As to what school I would recommend. It would be my old middle school in Jiangsu. I know the people there, the town, and the actual apartment that said teacher would live in. I have been at my present middle school two years now without having a go between. I have flatly told English Centre owners that I will not work for them because of all the horror stories I have seen with my own eyes and read on this forum. In this case the teacher would deal directly with the school and F.A.O that I dealt with in the past. I can attest that he is a good Chinese English teacher that does care about the foreign teacher and whose English skills are very good. In this case, a teacher would not need a recruiter. In fact I have former students of mine with good English skills in that town that I have asked to help teachers out when they need help.
