 Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 11:12 pm Post subject: Avoid Recruiters In Mexico |
 |
|
There is pretty much one major recruiter in Mexico, at least for elementary and highschool level. The other schools that do not use them seem to have a person do it for them from the inside.
My advice is to go to a conference, if you are in the States or Canada. They have International job recruitment conferences all of the time. Or make the arrangement with the school directly.
The reason I say this is because I have just had an awful experience with a recruiter. Now I am having problems getting them off of my back for leaving the unsatisfactory school I was placed in.
My advice: stay away from recruiters in Mexico. |

| There is absolutely no need to use a recruiter to find a job in Mexico. |

Would you please give us an example of what you mean or what they are doing when you say that you are having problems getting them off your back???????
You don't have to mention the recruiter, just examples of what you meant above. |

| The recruiter just sets up the interviews, it is still up to you, to a certain extent, to decide whether to take the job or not. And, assuming it was the recruiter�s fault entirely, that still wouldn�t make all recruiters bad. Though I mostly agree that you don�t need a recruiter to find a job in Mexico, why not use one, if there is no fee. Couldn�t hurt, might help. But don�t forget who the recruiter is working for - it�s not YOU. |

I would also like some specifics, please. I don't see any drawback to using a recruiter you as a teacher or employee are not responsible to pay.
Some more info would be nice. |

What happened was, after I said I was leaving, the school was very angry. I gave a 2 week notice, but they were still upset. The school said that recruiter told them that my contract with the recruiter said that the school could charge me extra money when I left (which it absolutely did not) and they threatened to take it out of my paycheck. The recruiter then sent me emotional page long emails after being asked by the English coordinater of the school not to contact me. I had to pay a fee for leaving, and I did not get to the bank on time to deposit it. I was one day late and they threatened to send me to collections.
During the placement at my school, they told me that I was going to a school 7 hours by bus from Mexico city. It was actually a 16 hour bus ride, and in the middle of a cartel highway. There was a bombing nearby my school a week before my arrival. I later saw postings on their site for jobs in Sinoloa and Reynosa, which are also unsafe. |

Well, I live in Mazatlan, in the state of Sinaloa, not on the border like Reynosa, which is far, far away. Still feeling pretty safe in my neck of the woods. Up in Culiacan, our capital city, the pay is substantially more, for those more adventurous. So where were you placed? Sounds like maybe Torreon area?
I'm thinking this sounds like Global ERS, where the school pays them for the placement. If the teacher breaks the contract, the school is out substantial money, and I believe Global ERS is required to reimburse them. That would explain the aftermath. Am I warm? |
