I know nothing about this recruiter, but apparently, they recruit for Emirates National School. You might take a look at: "Is Emirates National School still that BAD?" (http://forums.eslcafe.com/job/viewtopic.php?t=95923). I find it odd that teaching licenses aren't prominently mentioned as a requirement for their teaching positions. That's in contrast to Teach Away which successfully places experienced, licensed teachers in international and public schools throughout the UAE.

Personally I would never use an agency to get a job. I would apply directly to the schools... except in the case of the ADEC positions which are only available through a few contractors who have a decent reputation.

Check out any school carefully. Lots of abusive employers around the Gulf region. Unfortunately, this section of Dave's board mainly deals with teachers who are working with adults (universities, military, oil companies), so you need to use google and other sources to check out schools.

They advertise at least in one publication
