I have been reading many negative stuff about HCT. But if HCT is so bad why there are approximately 8 applicants per hour??? I don't think ppl would be so interested if it was such a bad place.

in upton sinclair's masterpiece the jungle, it says "so long as we have wage slavery, it matters not in the least how debasing and repulsive a task may be, it is easy to find people to perform it."

add that to this economic and job situation currently troubling the world and we may be close to an answer.

THE HORROR, THE HORROR!

Where did you get those numbers? Are they on the HCT website? From what I can see there are 89 different positions being advertised - no mention of how many people are required for each one - and this list has been nearly this long for over a year - a better question to ask might be, why aren't these positions being filled?

Are these qualified applicants? I know that when I was doing hiring I would get hundreds of applications from people who were unqualified, no education, no experience and had no idea what they were applying for. ** Note: I was not doing hiring at HCT

HCT publishes that min of Master's plus 3 years post grad relevant experience and for content that a PhD is desirable plus years of industry experience.

Perhaps too these are applicants who are willing to work in such an environment because they are currently working at worse places for less money - many people from the subcontinent and MENA would love to work for HCT for just those reasons.

Are you sure it's not "8 resignations per hour"? I've heard people are getting out of some colleges due to continuing and worstening slave-like conditions...

Now... NCTBA... this is obviously not a native speaker and if you had paid attention to his/her posts, you will see that s/he has been asking about engineering positions, not TEFL.

I too am wondering where those numbers came from though... does their website have a counter? But, even if true, there are lots of people who are desperate for jobs and figure that for the pay and benefits they can last a contract and pay their bills and save a bit... even with all the bad press. They are probably also hoping against hope that they will get assigned to one of the tolerable branches.

I believe it's eight teachers an hour sent flying through the front door and onto the next plane out for wearing skirts that were too short or disagreeing with a stupidvisor.
