Summing my experience with Haida HR in one word – Incredible!

Hailing from a small town in Australia, Haida opened doors of new possibilities for me. I was initially skeptical about what China would have in store for me? Always wanting to explore the culture, I invested my trust in Haida HR to help accomplish my dream of teaching in a foreign land.
I was appointed as an English teacher in China. The employees at Haida were very supportive and encouraging. They are accustomed to our foreign culture as the company successfully hires many foreign teachers annually.

Completely unaware of the new-land, Haida HR helped me at every step of my transition, from accommodation to making me comfortable, and at home (even when I was away from mine). The company helped me through the documentation, paperwork, and every other information I sought. Being in a culturally different country comes with its own challenges and opportunities. With Haida, I can proudly profess that challenges were rather mitigated, and all I saw was opportunities ahead of me.
Getting familiar with Chinese tradition and adapting a teaching style according to their culture required extra efforts. But once you firm your grip, it will turn out to be a pleasant exchange of cultures between you, and your students.
China is rich in its heritage. Coming to the country was an incredible decision I made, which I could have never witnessed staying back in Perth. Haida helped me get acquainted with people so much so that now I think of them as my own! I have been working with the organization for 2 years, and I recommend it to all the fellow foreign teachers who are willing to work in China.

My personal experience with Haida HR

I am a Math teacher from Vancouver. I came to know about Haida HR through a friend who was already working with them. He told me all about how Haida HR arranged everything for him – be it his Visa or even his lodgings in China. Moreover, he was getting a pretty good salary there.

After hearing it all from my friend I was fascinated by the prospect of working out of the states. I decided to dig deeper and so I sifted through tons of reviews about Haida HR online. Most of these were positive, so I decided to take the big leap.

I decided to shift my base to China through Haida HR because I found the idea to be just awesome! I mean, who wouldn’t like to explore a new country along with earning some big money? I got hired by Haida within a month of applying for job.

Just like my friend had told me, Haida HR turned out to be a reliable recruitment agency. The firm arranged for everything I might need for working in China like Visa, work permits, lodgings and even food. I didn’t have to worry about anything even for a single moment.

Working with Haida HR has been the best thing that has happened to me. Teaching in China is a unique experience altogether. Haida HR has given me a chance to get an insight into the Chinese culture, apart from the obviously great job opportunity. I have been working with them from last 3 years now.

Good company with good services

Haida International is a very good company in China’s Hangzhou. It's more than just a common recruitment company. It not only recruits candidates but offers a number of services to them.

When I went to China after going through Haida International Education Reviews, the only thing I was worried about was the accommodation. Because it is not only difficult to get a decent accommodation when you travel outside the country, but the price you have to pay is hefty. But, I was pretty happy to see that the company provides a decent accommodation, which is totally free of cost and in the middle of the city. 

 It was really unbelievable for me as I realized I could save more from the salary I earn as I don’t have to pay for the accommodation. The accommodation provided by Haida is not just a makeshift room but a reasonable place to spend your time. You get a very nice attached kitchen and washroom with all the amenities. There is adequate space in the apartment wherein you can easily do your regular activities on have fun on the weekends. You can do a decent workout and get some sunlight as well.  

I have everything else I need at my home. All in all, Haida International equips you with all the necessary things and makes nice arrangements so that you are able to work your way through with ease and comfort. I have gone through all the training sessions, seminars and whatnot, which have kept me in good stead. It is not that difficult to manage yourself in China. The best part is that the company conducts monthly trips for all the employees to get some time off from the daily routine, which is absolutely terrific.

Peaceful, yet entertaining life of China

I am one of those guys who is always looking for new opportunities and a platform to prove my credentials as a teacher. In 2016, it was for the first time that I got a huge opportunity to work outside the country with Haida HR. I was raring to go, but the only thing that was worried about is the language barrier. China is a different country altogether, I thought I may find it difficult to interact with the people.

But, all that was just a misconception. I was so shocked to see that there are many other foreigners working there in different industries and sectors. Although their language is actually different, it is not impossible to interact with them like we often hear about Chinese people. The local institute where I started to teach the Chinese students is located in Hangzhou. The students are very friendly and they understand whatever you want to convey. You need to have a good hold on the English language, everything else will fall into place with time. 
The free courses, seminars, and training sessions that I had heard about through Haida International Education Reviews, are actually very effective. They prove to be helpful when you are dealing with younger students, who are often new to the English classes. Apart from this, everything else is pretty smooth. The company provides you a decent place to live at, and there are frequent sessions to fix any issues. Not to forget the monthly trips, where all the teachers interact with each other and capture some wonderful memories. 
It is not only about work. The life in China is peaceful and entertaining, wherein you can enjoy the adventurous life and still save enough for your future. The experience that you get counts for gold dust when you come back to your native place. All in all, I think Haida HR is doing a fine job and proving to be one of the best recruitment company for foreign teachers.

Best of recruitment companies

My friend is a fun loving and travel enthusiast. He loves exploring new places and corporate life just doesn’t fit into his lifestyle. One day he called me and asked if I was interested in working outside the country. My answer was a straight‘No’. He tried to entice me by talking about all the benefits and promises made by Haida HR China on its website. I wasn’t moved at all. But he refused to give up. One day I just went through some search engines and looked for the company. Everything looked good apart from a few negative reviews, which must have come from some red tapers. I searched a bit more and looked down Haida HR Reviews. It only indicated positivity. I enquired about the induction process, which turned out to be very simple and I was on my way to China with my best buddy. I must say working alongside your buddy is the best experience one can have.

I realized my friend’s decision only when I started working there. The company not only provides a good support to its employees but also offers free training courses and seminars. There are sports programs too. Monthly trips conducted by Haida HR China only add to the benefits. Life in China is not only enjoyable but peaceful as well. No one will stop you from walking down the street even at midnight, which is not the case in the US. With all the studios and clubs, China is not short of entertainment.

The best thing is the salary package which is exciting. You are able to save as you get value for money, especially in Hangzhou. It’s a perfect mix of entertainment and work. I used to think that it must be very difficult to adjust in any other country. But Haida HR makes it very easy for all the foreign teachers who are coming in numbers through their efficient recruitment process. There are times when you may be surrounded by the challenges, but it will only make you better. No job is easy, but one thing is certain in China, which is the job security. 

Apart from this, I really believe that educating children is the best possible way for enhancing your knowledge. Keeping yourself busy with little kids is amazing, especially when you are in China, where you have these soft-spoken kids who respect their teachers a lot.

A dynamic life in Hangzhou, China

People are scared of going out of the country to work for long duration. They say what if we are not able to adjust or what if we find the life boring there. Exactly same was the case with me, I was way too comfortable in my motherland and never wanted to leave it.

But there is not much money in corporate and I didn’t had a lot of money to start my own business or invest somewhere. So I had to think about going abroad someday. The offer couldn’t have come at a better time. I had just got my yearly appraisal when I heard about Haida HR, which recruits foreign teachers to work in different cities of China. I knew I needed it badly no matter how scared I was. I signed up the next day and went through with my decision.

Everything happened so quickly and I was on my way to China. I had received a healthy package, so I was happy but there were butterflies in my stomach. When I reached I got great support from Haida HR and they did their best to make me feel comfortable. I was very surprised to see that all the ghosts I had were already gone in my mind. It wasn’t that difficult to be fair. It became a lot easier with training courses of Haida and all the seminars where knowledge sharing sessions were held. 

 There was peace in my mind and I was really happy to see where I had landed. Today I have already completed 7 months and have explored most of the cities. I absolutely love the Chinese food no matter where I eat it. Haida HR is an efficient recruitment company that knows what the candidates want. In return, I have already taught the English language to at least 100-150 students in these 7 months. The students respond very well and there is no indiscipline in my school. 

Hanging out in China

It’s tough to make friends in a place where they have more than 370,000 words. Even my folks back home told me that I am gonna be back in 2 months and I’ll hate it in China. To be honest, anything is better than a life in Detroit. That crumbling city has nothing to offer, in fact, I feel the states has nothing to offer anymore. That’s why you see Yanks move out of the star-spangled nation more than ever.
Hangzhou is pretty dope. The people are good, the food is even better. I’ve been living here for more than a year. It’s turning out to be the best time of my life coupled with new experiences that are killing my depression.

When I signed Haida, I was scared as hell, since I was a lone wolf in the forest. It took me a long time to adjust to the standard of living. The culture is different and my job as a teacher, although exciting, is challenging. The little children I teach perform outstandingly on their tests when they’re guided right. It makes me really proud. 
 It’s still scary, but now I have new homies. I’ve found friends in Haida-mates from all around the world, especially Antoine, the chilled-out but responsible dude from Lyon, France.
I’ve been traveling to different places in Hangzhou, trying out different street food, the local eateries, the high-end cuisine, and the home-cooked food Mrs. Yi makes a few blocks away from my apartment. The delicacies of Hangzhou are too good to be missed, especially the juicy Xiaolongbao. The dim sums here are like forbidden fruits. They’re too delicious, but eating too much might give a hard time on the pot.
I had a great time at the Leifeng Pagoda, most of the pictures you click here are photogenic. Make sure you don’t miss the West Lake and Qiandao Lake. The diving experience at Qingdao was different than what I had in Jamaica. It’s a lagoon so some places can get muddy.     
If you’re signing up with Haida, let me warn you, it’s not a walk in the park. Take the contract if you’re looking for something entirely different in life. Good luck! 
       

A bored Frenchman’s tasteful life in Hangzhou

When English isn’t your first language and you’re selected to be an English teacher in a land far away, the experience can be really exciting. Being French, I’ve had a few problems dealing with pronunciations of English words, but my nationality and culture can never compromise my prowess in spoken and written English. I enjoy teaching English to little children in my village so they can experience everything our little blue planet has to offer. I took the call too when I found Haida HR, the recruitment company online forums had been talking about.

I had seen a good share of negatives about this Hangzhou-based company, which really didn’t convince me. I suspected that most of these badmouths were posted by people who mainly had problems with the Cooperation Agreement of Teacher’s Dispatch and other things. Instead of heeding these reviews, I tracked people currently working in Hangzhou with the help of Haida HR. Turns out they love their job in China.

I am not much of a sinophile, but I love Kung Fu movies and Chinese cuisine. China has some beautiful panoramic places, which made it easy for me to settle in. Hangzhou features a long roster of eye-grabbing sceneries like the West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Six Harmonies Pagoda, and the tea plantations. All of these places proved that there is more than it meets the eye in Hangzhou. People who complained about the food in the forums have obviously not tried dumplings at XinFeng XiaoChi.    

You might have heard this earlier from other Haida HR recruits, the company takes care of your mind-numbing forms and Visa issues. It’s true but like other red tapers, the process isn’t smooth. They do get the job done though. I got the accommodation as it was promised, the room was aptly furnished and really simple.

Life has been going really good and it’s beating the monotony I’ve felt back home. Hangzhou has been a good change for me, especially the eye candy and food. I’ll stay here for a few more years I guess. Hope the UAE has a Haida HR-like company that recruits foreign teachers for its students.
