Does anyone know anything about them? They seem to be advertising quite a bit, which could either be good or terrible...
I understand they are a head-hunting/staffing company, which again doesn't have to be a negative.
Received a prompt call for an interview with them later this week, but was curious if there's anything I should know going into it....
Thanks, and a PM is fine if the details aren't net-worthy! |

I've seen the ads too, but (rightly or wrongly) I don't like applying for anything when I can't even find the name or location of the school. Definitely once bitten, twice shy! |

Yeah, I'll definitely be more cautious than usual at the interview...
Smells a bit fishy for sure, but we shall see! |

To report:
The interview was fine, in a sterile high-rise office building in Central. They didn't seem impressed with me in some ways, but I guess my personality won out over the fact that they didn't like my experience of how my resume was organized... and still said they would look on my behalf. Weird unsatisfying interview, to be honest. They advised part-time until the beginning of the new school year in September. Thankfully found something else that fits me much better, so don't have to wait for cold corporate assistance. But didn't seem a scam, just every bit the "head-hunter" I though it was, as they merely connect teachers to schools that are hiring, hence why they don't reference specific jobs in their ads because they don't necessarily know what they are yet. |

There is a huge recruitment agency in Australia (and probably elsewhere), which goes by that name. They specialise in education and used to be called 'Select Education'. Wonder if it's the same company.
Too bad they weren't more decisive with you. They might have got a sweet commission. |

Thanks for the feedback, Themuths - glad I didn't bother answering their ads!
And also happy to hear that you found you a job! |
