I had a very similar experience with Reach to Teach Recruiting. Anyone who has used their "services" knows they are a selfish organization. They have a bad reputation with teachers in Taiwan and I've heard horror stories from several people. They don't care if the school has you working illegally (without a work permit). My school told me if I didn't come to work before my work permit was approved, they would hire someone else- the problem is that is totally illegal and I could have been deported. Carrie Kellenberger (Reach to Teach owner) told me she couldn't help me find something else and said my choices were to work illegally or wait for a position that may never come. I was never told I would need to work illegally for the first month until I arrived, of course.

I did stay in the job and after about 3 months, my school hired a new teacher from Reach to Teach who was quite literally a crazy person. He made all of us women uncomfortable with his gawking and he had zero social skills. They school fired him within the week and that was the end of their relationship with Reach to Teach. Their website says their goal is "matching great teachers with great schools." In reality, they care little about the quality of their teachers and the good ones and crazy ones all go to poorly managed and unethical schools. Do not trust them. They are running a scam that cares nothing about the teachers they claim are the center of their organization.
