I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this recruiting company? I am considering this option, but also one of the jobs that is available-it is a private language institution.

I have heard so many bad things about these that I am almost afraid to take a job in one of them.

I am completely new to all of this, any advice would be much appreciated!

I wouldn't dismiss hagwons straight away - especially now that the public schools are just about to start their semester.

I tried footprints but didn't have much luck - they seem reputable enough but it just wasn't good timing for me.

The thing is to shop around between different recruitment agencies. Apply to as many recruiters or actual jobs as possible and see which ones send you the best offers.

Try asking this question in the job discussion forum. I think you'll get better/more answers there. The general discussion forum is mostly for whining about Korea and flame fests.
