I sent some information to them a few weeks ago. They recruit for Korea, but I have no idea how reputable they are - nice little web-site they have put together.

I have worked with one of the honchos at Footprints and found him to be one of those keen go-getter make things happen kind of people. Also, he has a Masters in TESL, heaps of teaching experience and provided all kinds of wicked in-class ideas/materials/support. I haven't been placed by the company before, but have definitely had good experiences with their director.

Come on there must be some more of you out there who've dealt with Footprints. I'm also curious to hear about your experiences. They've definitely got a nice website and I will undoubtedly be enticed to check them out when and if I decide to venture abroad.

I think Footprints is trustworthy. I got placed pretty easily through them and I leave for Korea this month. I think what really appealed to me about their website was their testimonial page. I've had regular contact with two of their staff... Ben and Kara... and they've both been awesome to deal with.

That said, I have yet to actually work in Korea so I don't know what kind of experience I'm in for after I get there, but based on my dealings with Footprints so far, I would recommend them. It's probably good to have a "plan B" though as well!

You can also check out posts on the Korea forums if you go back a bit in the threads... some good, some not so good but there are always those who have nothing good to say about anything!

Good luck!
