I'm going to turn the tables on your thread and ask you how Korvia's handling people applying through them at this point in the year since I'm not sure whether it would be better to contact them towards the end of this application period or to contact them towards the beginning of the next one.

Did whoever you're working with through Korvia tell you what would happen if you didn't make it in this round? Do you have to send out new copies of your paperwork to restart the process if you can't get signed on before the end of this current application period?

No you don't. I've had an experience with them last year, and they were quick about getting me the location I want at the school (public) requested. Others had the bait-n-switch. Serena kept me in the loop from day 1. If not every day, she sent an email every other day until I found my job and the visa application started.

I initially contacted Korvia one month ago, almost to the day. The initial reply was an email with a few questions, some redundant with the online application I filled out, and asking when I would be available for an interview.

When I received no phone calls after a week or so I contacted them again, and was told that they were not many positions available at the moment, and I haven't heard from them since then.

I sent another email today, so we'll see.

I used them and I would recommend them, I got what I asked for in regards to my teaching gig and basically they were always reliable in regards to communication.

Also, just a note, they will only represent you if you are a qualified candidate.

I have nothing but kind words for Joyce and Ann. They're busy folks but still managed to get back to me by email or if I had a phone enquiry.

Korvia are the most reliable and helpful of all the recruiters I've dealt with.

Friendly staff, clear advice and exceptional service. They get a big thumbs up from me.

I had an average experience with them. my contact didn't really have all her facts straight about SMOE, which led to a bit of frustration on my part. In the end, it all worked out though.

They did invite me to a Korvia party at a Sinchon bar with one free drink (!!!). I declined.

Sometimes they didn't always 100% understand what we were asking them, but they were always prompt and honest and really worked hard for us. Totally recommended.
