Director asked me to find another teacher. Said he would pay me for my trouble.

I posted on Daves and three other sites. Wrote the add(s) and spent time with the registrations. Sorted through about 15 applicants. Rewrote the contract. Organized an interview with a successful applicant. Maybe 8 hours of my time to date.

What is is worth? What do recruiters get? Has anyone done the same and if so, what was your reimbursement?

Cheers

I've recruited three times for my boss(es)
1. - 2 million (the deal was double pay for 1 month)
2. - 1 million
3. - free (coz I wanted out!)

Standard recruiters fee is 1 million won.

It depends on whether it's a North American, a woman, an attractive woman, a white, a young person, someone who doesn't need a plane ticket, and possibly but not likely teaching experience.

I know a recruiter and he told me that some places will actually pay a premium for a young NA woman.

I know of a director who paid the recruiter a 3 mil won fee because he pissed off two of his teachers and they walked out....he needed a teacher right quick and paid through the nose for one.

Average recruiting fee seems to be somewhere between 800,000won and 1,200,000 won.

I've recruited a few teachers for my hagwon (including my replacement). I got 200,00 for the first one, and I'm getting 300,000 for the current one. I'm not doing it for the money. I'm doing it to help out my hagwon and save them some cash.
