Just a head's up to anyone who may be interested in working at KSU: ICEAT has the contract but may be recruiting under another name. The man whose name starts with A and ends with L has started his own company to recruit for ICEAT. (To give him his due, he is a very personable and even humane man, unless you need straight up facts concerning ICEAT and its legal responsibilities towards its employees.)

A teacher who was approached last week (end of May) to recruit for ICEAT (and refused) said that apparently A_____L has not started recruiting yet.

I would expect a difficult first semester due to another serious teacher shortage like we had in fall 2011. Many teachers there now are looking for work because they have not been told whether they have a chance for jobs next year or not, and are tired of waiting to make plans. The iqama issues have not been addressed satisfactorily, and one teacher is leaving because she is owed months of back pay. Another is leaving because she was docked pay for time she missed because ICEAT messed up her visa. The passports of at least two teachers have been missing for over five months. Even if these teachers come back, this has alarmed many teachers who do not want to find themselves in the same position.

In addition to this, the local hires who are here on their husbands iqamas have been told that if they do not switch their iqamas to ICEAT, their contracts will be terminated. If ICEAT holds their iqamas, and then decides to fire them, they will have to leave the country and can theoretically be separated from their families for two or three years. Not wishing to face this possibility, many are discussing the option of leaving. This is very bad for the students and the whole department, as many of these teachers are some of the best I've ever encountered.

I think you are referring to this company, which is operated by Mr. A. See link below for details.

So if I got offered a position there, KSU, today from an ICEAT recruiter I should definitely turn it down?
She made it sound good, but this makes it sound not worth the hassle. Right?
