Hi Everyone,

I'm really interested in going to South Korea to teach. I was thinking of signing up with a recruiting agency based in Canada called Ask Now (Access South Korea Now). I was wondering if anyone can comment on their services. Is the company any good, should I apply with them?

Thanks.

They have a really good website, especially to get started on understanding and researching the application/visa process:

I haven't had any experience with them, but my school apparently got me through them? Somehow they get recruits from other agencies that aren't listed in the official GEPIK book. For that reason, I had my handler go through a different agency to find a replacement teacher (one where she can actually talk to/interview the applicant, rather than getting a notice that someone is on the way already).
