Does anyone think that extra caution should be taken with a recruitment agency that only uses an email address (no website) ??
Or is this fairly normal? |

| I think it sounds VERY sketchy. I would ask them why they don't have a website, maybe it is being revamped or similar, post the name of the agency here and see what kind of feedback you get. |

Really, who cares?
A recruiter is nothing more than an introduction to an employer.
Hello Mr. English speaker this is Mr Hakwon owner.
Mr. hakwon owner, this is Mr. English speaker.
Mr. English speaker, here is the contract. Please read and sign.
School, here is the signed contract. Pay me.
Good bye.
You are not paying them anything (or you shouldn't be).
They owe you nothing once you get here.
They are not your friend.
They are not your baby sitter.
They cannot help you if things go to *beep* after you get here.
Beyond that it is YOUR responsibility to check the school out.
Do NOT trust ANY recruiter. They are like used car salesmen. They will like and sell their soul to get the signature on the contract.
Do your own DUE DILLIGENCE in regards to the school or get burned.
Use the recruiters for what they are. Use more than one and keep going until you get what you want. There is no rush and there is certainly no shortage of jobs. |

Try to deal directly with the school. Don't use a recruiter unless you absolutely have to. For the most part, they will say anything just to have you sign the contract so they can collect there 1,000,000+ won from the hagwon. They are of very little use after the fact when the job you signed for turns out to be HELL and you wanna quit.
Trust me. Been there done that. |
