Majali is employed by MOHE at the rate of OR1600 per teacher placed by him into one of the MOHE academic institutions. If you are being paid at a rate of, say, OR800 permonth, you know how much is being pocketed by Majali.

What's the big deal about earning a commission of 1600 OMR? He's not doing anything illegal, and the commission is paid by his employer, not the people he recruits.
Car salesmen earn commissions. So do arms dealers.

It certainly explains why he doesn't recruit more qualified teachers.

He receives OR1600 per teacher per month. This is information one would consider to be important, considering other placements outside of Majali's recruitment offensive receive salaries far closer to the MOHE mark than received by Hawthorn teachers.

What about the rest of your benefits? Are they paid out of this 1600 per month? Your flat, visa, tickets and medical?

To me there is only one detail here... is he paying you less than the market for teachers with your credentials and experience in Oman?

This is why I very much dislike the whole concept of recruiters. It seems to always be the teachers who are shortchanged...

Once again I will say that I was recruited by this person.

Once I signed the contract I never spoke to him again. I am being paid directly by the MoHE at the full rate for my qualifications.

Quite frankly I do not give a toss what this person makes in commission, we all have to make a living. It would be a different matter where he creaming off the top of my salary, but he isn't.

Oh yes, where did this magical figure of 1600 OMR come from temujinsky???. How can you made such a bald statement without providing evidence Question

I doubt he is being paid 1600 rials per month per teacher. Are you sure about this temujinsky? Or is he paid a one off 1600 rials?

Please confirm this.

That was my immediate suspicion... a one-time payment makes sense, unless the recruiter is also the one paying the salary and providing monthly benefits for the term of the contract.

There is no way that the Ministry would be foolish enough to use recruiters so that they could pay double the salaries for the length of every contract.
