Totally sketch. More a pyramid scheme sales pitch than an interview. As soon as I answered the phone for our scheduled "interview," the woman on the other end dove straight into a speech about how to work the tax system to maximize my income - basically if you have a permanent address outside of the state in which you work, you place in a different tax bracket and get to keep more of your salary. I mean straight into it. We said hello, how do you do, and then right into "Let me explain how our salary works. If you are a traveling teacher with a permanent address outside of the state in which you work, you get to keep significantly more of your salary than teachers who work in their home state." I told her that their business sounded a bit fishy and that it's not something I want to be involved with. In proper keep-them-on-the-phone-until-they-say-yes sales fashion, the woman on the phone apologized for her voice, saying I probably wasn't understanding what she was saying because she had a sore throat, and that I should stay on line while she got her boss to explain a second time. I informed her that I understood perfectly well, explained I was suspicious of the fact that what I thought was going to be an interview about a job was sounding more like a tax scam.. She then said, "Oh, okay. Let's do the talking about the job part first." I told her that I wasn't interested in the "position" and we hung up the phone. Be wary of 5-star ratings on this site - employees get bonuses for referring new teachers and service providers to the company. It is in employees best interests to keep the rating high. More interested people, more money in their pockets.

The process to interview with a recruiter and then a school went well. They asked a lot of questions and stayed in contact through the hiring process. There’s not much more to expect than attentiveness to answering questions. They couldn’t answer right away but would get back to you the best they could.
