I'm applying for a public school job and I've seen a few posts advising not to use multiple recruiters and I've seen some that claim to do exactly the opposite. Is there any negative consequence to using multiple agencies?

The site's search functions seems to be locking up.

^^^ what he said with the addition:

use 1 recruiter for a GEPIK application.
Use a different recruiter for an EPIK application
(or in both cases go direct and skip the recruiters)

and use as many as you need to look at hagwan positions. 5 is too few and 20 is more on target.

What's the deal going for individual public school positions in GEPIK with multiple recruiters? Would you get disqualified for that? ( Not applying directly to GEPIK)

I'm applying through a recruiter and it has the selection of public or private schools. It makes no mention of EPIK, or GEPIK. On my application I will be putting no preference for location.

I've missed the regular deadline for both EPIK and GEPIK so I would guess that the recruiter is dealing directly with public schools and not the EPIK and GEPIK organizations.

hmm...
