Is it OK to use multiple recruiters for finding a position with GEPIK in off-season (i.e. April through June start dates)?

I don't know of any rules against multiple recruiters for GEPIK. If your question is more for off season, then it will help if you can visit the school first.

I've read may times that multiple recruiters for public schools is not recommended, because it can get you blacklisted, but multiple recruiters for hagwons is fine.

During the busy season (i.e. around January for March hiring) recruiters are willing to help, but recruiters seem to take their time right after the that busy season.

Do I try one recruiter for a few days to assist me with finding a GEPIK position, then, if I don't hear back from them, I tell them to remove my file from their system, and move on to another recruiter?

I will be going to America soon, so I won't be in Korea to visit the schools.

If you are going to get sent through GEPIK then 1 recruiter.

IF you are applying for specific jobs in specific public schools (as listed in the off season by recruiters) then use recruiters like you would for a hagwon.
