I'm facing a confusing dilemma re: recruiters and public schools.

One recruiter wants me to turn in a GEPIK application so they can forward to GEPIK's office. I understand that you're supposed to apply to GEPIK/EPIK/SMOE/etc only once.

However, another recruiter has presented a direct-hire opportunity at a GEPIK school. I've read that it's OK to use multiple recruiters when applying to public schools directly.

Can I apply to GEPIK and specific schools simultaneously?

This guy says that if you are applying outside the hiring season or applying directly, then you should be fine:

I have never used a recruiter to get a job. Well, I tried, but they were not doing a good job, so I always ended up finding jobs myself, including my current one with GEPIK. If you have a chance to get hired directly by a school, go for it. At least you already know where you could work instead of "gambling" with GEPIK.

Thanks guys. but I'm not sure if that answers my question fully lol.

Would GEPIK (head office) disqualify me if I also directly applied to one of its schools?
