So after doing some searching, I am unable to locate any information about and whether or not they are legit.
http://www.clickchn.com/

It seems that they are a recruiter, but curious if anyone has ever gone through and have any experience with them? Some of their positions look appealing, but I cant find any information on their legitimacy.

Why use any recruiter? It's not that difficult to find job ads, search online, and/or contact employers directly. Not only that, you're going to make more money on your own, not supplement others incomes for no reason, and in the end have only yourself to blame rather than come here and complain about a recruiter that "screwed you" later on. If you can't do it on your own then China isn't the right place for you.

I've used Emily from clickcn and she is damned good and persistent at trying to get you what you want. She gets back to you promptly too. So many of the other ones are terrible. I recommend her definitely at least for your first gig in China.

Yeah. That works real well if you're not in China. It works even better if you come over on an L visa, go looking around in a strange city, get a job at Joe's More Better English, go to Hong Kong and change the visa to a Z and you're all set.

Right?

Nobody EVER needs a recruiter. They take 95% of your monthly pay and they all lie through their teeth.

Your advice is nothing short of brilliant.

The solution then is simple. Find a toothless recruiter.

I was in contact with a recruiter (Mandy) from Click China briefly. While I didn't take a job through them, she was pleasant and helpful, and no red flags were raised.

Click China is definitely a recruiting company, you can tell because of the clickcn email addresses on all the jobs. Many if not most ESL jobs in China are gotten through recruiters, so that is not a mark against them. Also, if there is little information about them at this point it is because they are still new, and I see no reason to assume them "guilty until proven innocent." I did notice that some overzealous soul has gone to the trouble of "blacklisting" both Click China and China Job List on scam sites, solely on the basis of them having "no internet history" and wanting resumes. I wouldn't pay this too much mind.
