|
Anyone have any dealings or indirect feedback?
http://www.eslcafe.com/joblist/index.cgi?read=43352
Job specification very generic and 12000SAR (not much but better than QEHC) but better than American Academy who were advertising 9500SAR for BA holders in Jan 2017.
(To those who may have read this before, I previously posted it by mistake in the General Discussion forum, but deleted it and reposted it in the Saudi forum.) |

MOD EDIT: Final Warning
Several derailing postings have been deleted.
Future postings containing derailing personal asides on this thread will result in immediate permanent bans to include ISPs.
Guaranteed. |

They state they're recruiting for "various projects in Saudi Arabia including Universities, Colleges, Military, Corporate, Oil, Petrochemicals." However, their ad is very skimpy; there's no info about required qualifications in relation to which project you'd be matched with.  |

That ad is so skimpy that I suspect it could be a scam. At least the email looks OK.
For those who might apply, be wary if there is any suggestion of sending a money order to someone for a "visa."

Not necessarily a scam - slightly precipitous judgement.
Their website is dated 2016, they have a London landline, but no address given.

Probably just an introductory recruiter for contractors like Al Khaleej, Edex, ICEAT, along the lines of On The Mark
Evidently, the first question in any contact should be who they are recruiting for. |

That ad is seriously lacking a lot of basic information... |

I didn't say that it was... only that it could be and gave the standard step one warning.
Scam ads are too danged common these days, so newbies need to be warned.

I know teachers who have been hired by them. Heard good things, professional, prompt communication, good jobs. They mostly hire for Asia, but sometimes they have Gulf jobs. They used to hire for Aramco and NGHA. |

RGT are also recruiting for China. I had an email a couple of days ago for a job in China. It was from someone with a Saudi name. Same as the OP said - no address, UK phone number. Also no details of the jobs and only saying they had a lot of positions there.  |

Their UK address & phone number is clearly shown on their website. |

And they don't bother to put that relevant information in a recruiting email?
And NO details about the job?
Seems highly unprofessional... as is their website. I just looked again and there is no address or phone number on it that I can find. Nothing on the home page or the about us page. I clicked on every link and nothing to be found but an email address.

In the emails I have seen they clearly have their phone number and Skype. Looks like this:

Arenta, when you said "Saudi name", did you mean "Mohammed"? It is a popular name. His surname is certainly not Saudi. He is a British Muslim.

But why not on their emails? Why do people have to go to their website for this info? It's standard to include it on emails. |

Only one of those links shows the address. It should also be on emails.
Ok, so he's not Saudi. The address info along with job info shouldn't be so sketchy. |
