Is it necessary to use a recruiter to apply for gepik?
Which recruiters are best/most helpful?

1) no. You can apply directly to GEPIK via their website or by mail to the POE in Suwon.

2) there are lots of them. Just scan back a few pages or check the FAQs. This question comes up about 3 times every week (year round).

I recently used Korvia for a GEPIK position and was quite satisfied.

+1

I used Korvia too and they were great. I think it helped to have someone available for questions whenever I needed.

Im not sure who I would have spoken to if I had applied directly to GEPIK. However, I guess the only downside is that the recruiter will shop you around as opposed to you looking around.

I'm a GEPIK teacher. I got my job through a recruiter, WorkNPlay Consulting. I've found GEPIK's website difficult to navigate.

If what I have read is correct, Korvia is doing much of the recruitment for GEPIK nowadays so going through the main office isn't much worth it. I got my GEPIK job through a recruiter (GA Education, if you want to know) and almost everyone else I have met who works in GEPIK schools have gone through recruiters as well--most of them through Korvia. It isn't the best tiem to be searching per se, but that is one thing that is nice about GEPIK: moreso than EPIK they will hire teachers year-round. I started in the middle of June, and I have seen ads for positions starting in October.

If you are willing to work in a smaller city (and when I say smaller I mean around 100,000 people) then you should be able to find work.

tried applying directly using the gepik website, it is buggy and didn't even work.. on message boards last posts are from '09, so I guess they haven't updated/maintained the website
