| Chase is currently recruiting for ICEAT. If you apply to Chase, do not apply to ICEAT. |
ICEAT has nothing to do with this specific employment opportunity. |

| Without any warning we are now finding out that we won't receive a pay raise this year. There is no way of knowing what else will be cut, but I'll try to keep updating as new information comes in. It really adds up. For me, it's about $2000 CAD/year. People here are applying for jobs outside of KSA. |

Sorry but what did you expect? I'm sure you've been following the news and the recent cuts. Even Saudi citizens have not been spared. |

| The oil glut continues. The money continues to disappear. Hiring native speakers was nothing more than keeping up a good self image. I think wages are going to collapse to the point where there's no longer any reason to work in Saudi. Teachers are being forced to share apartments and are now being offered salaries at 2400 US a month. The firings will start increasing. Believe me it will get a lot worse. |

| Don't Chase and Red Chair only recruit native speakers? They seem to offer the best packages nowadays, but the visa restrictions stated in their ads is a huge problem. |

| I forgot to mention that it is a direct hire job, but you are recruited by a recruiter. |
I thought that direct hire meant that you weren't going through a recruiter??!
Also is 14000 the norm for related MA and experience teachers?
Super nose dive!
Thanks |

Direct hire refers to who holds the contract - an institution, not a contractor. Even many direct hire institutions use recruiters.

If you're referring to direct hire, salary is generally based on verified prior experience. (See The skinny on direct-hire university opportunities.) Ads posted for contracting company positions usually indicate a salary range. Either way, you'd have to apply to see what you'd be offered. |

| there is distinction between recruiters and contractors. recruiters sign you up and ship you off on the galleys. Contractors lure you | |
