I am a newbie to this site. Shocked

I am wondering what are some ESL teacher's personal experiences with recruiting agencies such as Footprints recruiting and Teach Away Inc?

Positive and Negative experiences are welcome.

I am researching a number of recruiting agencies in Canada and not sure which one to go with. Rolling Eyes

Depends on where you're going. If you want to go to Korea and you're inexperienced, using a recruiter is probably not a bad idea. If you're going to the Mideast, using a recruiter is probably a bad idea. See the forums for specifics on country-by-country recruiter analysis.

FYI: Ben from Footprints really likes to make money. If he's recruiting you, some school is probably paying him the money they could have been paying you.

Hey NYCESOL11211!

Thanks for the info.

Good to know about Ben at FR.

Hoping to end up in Korea for my first year after that--who knows!

Thanks!
