 |
|
Anyone know anything about these people who seem new to the KSA educational scene?
They're apparently looking for teachers in a new school opening in Riyadh.
I'd be interested in knowing what their overall package is on offer, where they are based (other than Riyadh), and any other relevant information if anyone knows anything.
cheers

I'll take that as a 'no' then! (with 85 clicks and nobody replying...)
Guess they really are the new kids on the block, so new nobody has heard of 'em!!

Balzac, I did not respond because I did not find any advert about the school. |

This is a new school' they don�t even have a website. The idea is that they take in vocational colleges graduateس and provide them with training skills such as English, IT, etc� the whole set up is shaky to me.
What makes it even more unclear is that they went to a German recruiting company that I have never heard of and hand them the recruiting part. Obviously they went o TESOL Arabia and since they have 'an only native policy', they couldn�t manage to tempt as many teachers as they were expecting as is the case with many new set-ups.
My advice is simple: look for some other place to work for. |

Ok Thanks. Ads aside, what I was really after was whether anyone had heard of the outfit and what reputation (if any) they have.

Hi Freesoul,
thanks for responding. Did you apply? Yes, you're right that the recruiters are German although teh guy who got in touch with my had a decidedly English name, not a hint of German anywhere.
He asked me to indicate if I was still interested, and so I replied that I was and sent some additional info. That was a while ago and he seems to have dipped 'off the radar', but of course this is not an unusual occurrence in KSA as I have found their recruitment policies embarrassingly long and protracted.
The funny thing is these same people often email you weeks even months later asking if you are still interested as if nothing at all happened in the interim!
I'll be taking your advice and looking further afield.
all the best
