So I guess they check out if they're a registered agency or not.  |
That's funny. They don't check shit! Not even if your degree is legit so they sure as hell aint checking out whether recruiters are legit or not.
Welcome to Korea, where, as long as it looks the part, no one really gives a shit if it is or not. |
They ask for a notarised and apostilled degree cert and you have to send it to immigration. That's not checking? Then, get this. Like I said, then you have to write down who your uni is, their website URL, the contact number of the uni and how many years you studied for and you have to send that with your passport to the embassy in your home country.
So if you think they don't check then what d'you have to do all this for then? They obviously call your uni to make sure you studied the degree you say you have. It takes 5 days to get a E2 visa. What do you think they're doing in those 5 days? Playing table tennis in London with your passport or something?  |
Under the privacy laws... your uni won't tell them so much as the time of day much less tell them anything about you.
The hoops are the appearance of legitimacy. They keep honest people honest.

I sometimes called to a certain construction recruiter in Manila, the Philippines, right when I worked at my wife's company as an Arabic instructor. The traditional adage in chaebol groups is quite simple about this.
