Does anyone here work for them, have any warnings or praise that they would like to share, etc.?

I tried to run a search just now. It didn't work. Confused

There have been several threads on them recently. The general consensus is that they do a good job. And, that's about as good as you can do in the sneaky game of recruiting. I have worked with them more than once and they are a hardworking, honest team.

If you want a public school job, they might be the place to go to.
I would hazzard a guess that they have the most jobs of any company also.
They are located in Bundang and have only Korean recruiters though I know they are looking to hire foreign recruiters these days. The Korean girls there speak decent English.

The staff there are usually pretty cool and are typical of most recruiters in that they can be pushy and you are simply one of many they want to place and as soon as you are placed you are on your own.

I am not sure what kind of warning you want. If they can find you a job that you like, use them. If they can't, choose another.

Work n' Play is pretty reliable. They might not get exactly what you want, but they won't try to place you in something you don't want.

Optimistic.
Recruiters usually do not force you to take something you do not want, but we all try to some extent when all options have been exhausted.
That is just the nature of the game.
It is just the greatness of that extent that can separate the good ones from the bad ones.

Thank you. Smile You all have basically told me what I wanted to know. Specifically, whether or not the company has a decent reputation.
