I too would be very interested to hear what people have to say about these guys. They approached me completely out of the blue and - like De Niro in 'Analyze This' - I am not too thrilled with the level of service thus far.

First it was 20-25 contact hours p.w. then 25 and when they made me an offer - which I CAN refuse - it was 30 contact hours per week.

Any contributions gratefully received.

Good Luck.

Rule one for decent employment in Saudi Arabia...

Avoid these fly-by-night new recruiters/agents who pop up weekly trolling for victims. This is not a country where you want to be working for the marginal employers.

Haven't heard of these guys before. Who are they? To which universities or schools do they send teachers?

As usual VS is right on the money.

I must confess that I was not really considering taking them up, rather, I was curious to see what they were up to as they approached me out of the blue and refused to tell me how they got my details.

It is also interesting to note that the email I sent them voicing my concerns remains unanswered after almost two weeks. Make of that what you will.

Good Luck.

I posted this on the other thread about Xperteach but I will post it here as well. I don't want anyone to fall into this trap.

here is the original post:
"do not accept any job from xperteach!!!! i applied for a position with them for saudi arabia (riyadh) back in september 2011 and was told i had the position. i was in contact with "sarah" via email and skype and completed two interviews with them. immediately after they fell off the face of the earth and stoped replying to emails/skype. i'm happy that this happened before getting over to saudi, i can't imagine what would've happened if i needed help while there."

Personally, I would not go with any recruiter. If any institution / university/ language school/ etc. cannot afford or does not have the ability to do their own in house recruiting then they mostlikely are not worthwhile places to work for...JMHO
