Hi All,

I've applied for the Epik programme through Eslstarter but was wondering if you can apply with more than one recruitment agency. Also, has anyone else had any experience with eslstarter or Teachaway?

Your comments would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Just a question: Why are you considering applying again?

I was'nt thinking about it as applying again; I was thinking about it in terms of which agency could expedite the application process quicker.

If EPIK receives multiple applications for you through different recruiters they will automatically junk it.

So do not apply through multiple channels.

I think they have some measures in place to protect the recruiters from having one company become the "favorite" and get all the contracts. If two recruiters are trying to place the same candidate, who gets the credit for it?

JRWhite82: Thank you. You may just have saved me from totally messing up my chances of being accepted onto the Epik programme! Smile

I used ESLstarter to get my EPIK position and they were very good.

Good luck.
