I'm very new to the whole process and just wanted some insight from you guys who have gone through this.

If I'm looking to apply to the GEPIK program, should i go through more than one recruiter or just stick to one. Since i'm getting mixed signals from people, some are telling me yes since they work for you and others on the other post have been saying that GEPIK will reject you if you apply more than once.

Currently i'm looking into Korvia and ESL planet. which would be the better choice.

Please give me some insight, thank you

I had a recruiter from Korvia work with me in 2008 and she was very professional. The job placement was great as well (I got what I wanted)

First, lets clear some things up.

Recruiters do NOT work for you. They work for and are paid for by the school. Use as many as you want to find the position that you want.

Once you have decided on a position (at a PS within Gyeonggi) then APPLY to ONLY 1. It is not an application until you send your documents and/or have a firm offer.

Many schools within Gyeonggi use a recruiter to fill positions that would otherwise remain empty if they waited for a warm body to come from the provincial office.

This IS different than SMOE used to be. They would reject anyone who used more than 1 recruiter to apply direct to the program but again, some schools did hire outside the SMOE recruitment (even though your contract was a SMOE contract and you worked in a school under the direct control of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education).

Back to your question: use as many recruiters as you need to find the job you want, in the area you want.
