8. LaowaiCareer
   1. Here is an explanation of their services and pricing from November 2018. Joseph isn't a fan of LaowaiCareer. He attempted to work with them previously at a difference company, and it didn't go well. Specifically, they were very spammy. After asking them to stop emailing him and going through their unsubscribe process, he continued to get email from different employees. Even after specifically telling him that we had no intention to use his services, Yuri seems to be unable to take "no" for an answer. He continued to reach out to Joseph to attempt to sell Joseph SEO ranking articles on his site. Joseph has generally been able to find good employees without paying for job postings, and LaowaiCareer required a payment of 1,500 RMB for 3 jobs post. They don't do any kind of pre-filtering (which is where JingJobs's butler service really brings value).
