Has anyone used them?  I'm working with them right now, and they seem great so far; they've answered a lot of questions, and helped with the process of getting my documents in order; as well as recommending a 100hr TEFL course.

I'm now in the "active" job-hunting phase, as my criminal background check has been sent to the FBI.  How quickly should I expect things to go?  Would I be better off looking for something on my own as well?  Has anyone here heard of or used them, and if so, wot's wot?

Any info is appreciated, much thanks,

Honestly,

I had a FANTASTIC experience with them. As did my friend. I have also read nothing but good things about them. Furthermore, of all recruiters I used, they were the ones who answered the quickest, were available at all times, and I actually felt like I was talking to a real person as opposed to scripted responses a lot of other recruiters seem to have.

Check out their facebook page.. there is a lot of praise on there for them as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2295650908/

If you're a first timer.. I'd stick with the recruiter just because it bridges the language gap and they're able to answer a lot of questions that may go unanswered otherwise :)

After you send off your CRC application it all becomes a waiting game.  As they tell you EPIK is under first come first serve basis, thus there is no real "i'm more qualified" mentality.  A person who passes their interview with a BA in English is just as likely to get into their desired city as a person with a MA in the same field, it all depends on who is the first to have everything cleared by EPIK and the POE.  If I were you, I would use any form of expedited service as I can (especially if you are trying to get into to the bigger cities) and double check my application before I sent it.  I also recommend using a courier services such as DHL, FedEX etc.  because of the fact that you can track your documents internationally to make sure they get there on time.  Couriers and expedited apostille services all cost extra but it secures your place in line and believe me, time is everything in applying for EPIK.  Hope this helps :)

I used Teach ESL Korea too, and they were great.
One of the Korean recruiters they used wasn't my cup of tea, but Dan and his team were really helpful and helped back me up when the Korean recruiter got a bit demanding or weird.
Eventually they found me the job I was looking for. They were really patient and understanding, as well as helpful and, as the above poster said, they act and respond like real people.

I'd definitely recommend them :)

I know this is a bit off topic, but I havnt had the time to read all the post. What is the biggest difference in the hagwon and public school? Other than the obvious, like less leave and different working times. Why are people against them?
