Is it possible to get a teaching job at a PS without using one of these agencies? I am seeing job offers from public schools, and I do not need to apply to EPIK, GEPIK, SMOE. I always thought u needed to go through one of them for PS.

There are other regional agencies. JLP for example handles Jeollanamdo.

I got a PS job in ilsan with HandsKorea recruiters.
Some schools prefer to do their own hiring.

Doesn't gangnam have their own program? And all the foreign language schools recruit by themselves

Some schools hire outside the recruitment from GEPIK/EPIK/SMOE/etc

BUT

After you are hired you are STILL under the auspices and authority of the respective provincial body. For example, you are a private hire to a PS in Gyeonggi then you are still under the authority of GEPIK (the provincial education office).

There are NO exceptions within the PS system.
