Limitation of Program

Global Crossroad simply serves within the capacity of a resume-referral service. Once your resume is forwarded, you will then work directly with our partnering institutes' recruiters. In effect, teachers are required to finalize/approve salaries, benefits, and all other contract-related issues with local recruiters. This resume-referral service is offered for free, therefore making Global Crossroad not liable for any damages or other conflicting issues arising from these contracts.
