A friend of mine is interested in moving to Korea to teach English. He's afraid of ending up at a shady hagwon. Can anyone recommend a reputable recruiter?

This question that comes up all the times.

Can some recommend a good/best/etc recruiter? People want that special recruiter that will get them the best job. Recruiters are just one part of the process. Never mind this what I call "string question" aka "How long is a piece of string?". For one person a recruiter is fine, to another the best, and to one person they wish death upon.

Here is the easy answer - ALL OF THEM. Do not use one, use them all. One will eventually find you a job. If you really want to know a good one. When you get a name. Search the boards about them. Also do not trust recruiters fully. They do not work for you, they work for the school who pays them. If you look good hiring wise and you are easy to deal with all recruiters will generally be easy to deal with.

I have complied a list of threads of this question... The threads where found with Google and two words recruiter and ______> I used best, good, and recommend.
I tried to keep to the basic question of the typical "can somebody tell me what recruiter to use?". A few are quite old, some a little specific to a city or area. I mainly ignored specific recruiting companies or recruiters.

Thanks for the info guys, there should be a sticky on this. This is the first time I've posted in the "Job-related Discussion" as I've never had a teaching job here in Korea. I didn't realize it was a commonly asked question here.

I'll let my friend know.
