The guy is VERY VERY pushy and demanding. I went to an interview with him once in Gangnam. The director asked him to wait outside the interview room while she spoke with me. He got in her face asking why and telling her that he represented me and deserved to listen to what was being said. The director was very polite and asked him again to wait outside, but he kept saying no. After the interview, she said she had a couple more people to interview and would let me know. His exact words were "Look, I don't want you to waste my time. Are you going to hire him or not? You should know right now and give me a decision. I don't have a lot of time and we don't need to play these games." I was about to walk out at that point. If I were you, I would not bother dealing with him. All he cares about is himself and the money he will make off of you. Stay away!

Good rule of thumb. Most recruiters = lowest scum in the world.

If you can, doing an end run around the whole recruiter thing and dealing directly with a school is often better. No recruiter fees for the school to pay could mean a little more salary for you as well.
