Does anyone know anything about Footprints Recruiting? Are they credible? Generally are any recruiters credible? They are based out of Toronto Canada. I can not really find much information regarding their company besides of course the information on their company website.

Of course,they can(and do) lie sometimes,too,so be careful.A good idea is to ask for names of former teachers,addresses,etc.That way you can contact them and maybe get the real,unvarnished info on the school.Also,check out the job journal forum on Dave's under specific countries which interest you.Good luck.Be careful.

Credible recruiter? That's a clear oxymoron. Stear well clear of ANYTHING from Canada; nothing good will ever come from there.
