Teaching Nomad is not a perfect company, we have flaws and as a previous employee I think you know that we continually work to improve every aspect of the company. It's too bad that you resorted to outright lies in an effort to damage our reputation. I'll address each of your comments below:
1. Candidates are screened solely based on our ability to place them into jobs meeting the employment criteria. IE; appropriate age for visa approval, native English speaker status (a visa requirement for overseas employers), skills, qualifications, and experience.
2. We have 6 managers; 3 women, 1 Latino male, 3 white males.
3. Our company-wide turnover for the 12 months was 16%. This is below the local and national averages. This includes employees we let go, like yourself. That said, we still aim to improve this and have a plan to do so. The average of tenure of our current staff is around 2.5 years.
4. Salary is set and only goes up. Commissions are based on individual performance and the process for earning and paying commissions is clearly explained to every new hire. Additionally, the details are available for every employee to review whenever they want. It's true that as a recruiter you only get paid a commission if the teacher starts their job and yes, a lot of those people were not able to start work this year because of COVID. That resulted in lower than average commissions this year.
5. Overall, our salaries are competitive and our benefits are outstanding. We pay for medical, dental, 401K with match, generous PTO, work from home days, and remote work. Many of our staff are homeowners but they've worked their way up and watch their earnings grow along with their performance. Most of our new hires, including every manager we have started at the bottom and it takes more than one year to work your up.
5. Thank you for the personal attacks about my personality. I think the office atmosphere is pleasant but you're welcome to your opinion. I didn't manage, train, or write your reviews so I'm not sure where the "over your shoulder" comment comes from. We do work in an open plan office which might not be the best for everyone. Others may be more suited to always working from home or in a cubicle. Here at TN, we like the collaboration that an open plan office provides.
Myself, and Teaching Nomad is committed to growing a company that provides great opportunities for teachers around the world and builds a company by building the employees that make it great. Those staff that don't have the necessary growth potential will likely not be a good fit for us.
