I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with this company.

Very pushy initially until you put your foot down.
Certainly didn't help my confidence as a newbie.
Unless they are offering an ace job, keep fishing.
I was in contact with about 12 different agencies, don't feel pressured into making a decision shich will decide your happiness for a year.

I put my resume up & I was spammed by so many people working there, all asking me the same questions. When I responded about the positions, they didn't give me any adequate answers. They didn't seem to care about what I wanted in a position.

Stay well away from these people.

Recruiters can be honest, I dealt with a couple who gave the answers I was looking for. Found me a nice job.

But most really don't care!

I've worked with them, and they seem about average.

Don't trust recruiters. Let them introduce you to people, and be a little vinegary with them when (not IF, WHEN) you start hearing about jobs that are not anything like what you were looking for. If you ask for Seoul, you will be offered Incheon and Ilsan, and even Busan.

Use more than one recruiter, and look on your own, too.
Make it clear to your recruiters that you're using more than one recruiter and looking on your own. If this discourages them, you're better off without them.

Also, demand a very detailed map when you want a specific location. I've had 3 schools move 20 minutes away from the initially-announced location in the last month. This usually happens when you call for directions to the school - from the nearest subway station.

So what about iteachntravel? I am trying to find the best recruiter.

Jose and his bunch are the rudest, most selfish Koreans ever met. They lied to me at least ten times and ignored my demands to leave me off of their mailing list.
