So Helpful

I was brand new to teaching and living abroad, so, naturally, I was very nervous about the whole process. Jay with OK Recruiting was so helpful to me. He responded fast to any questions or concerns I had.
He truly listened to the things I wanted to find in a school, and he matched me with a great one.
Covid made it an especially challenging time to travel, and Jay was great with helping me through the barriers.
He continues to be available to my school and I for questions, which I appreciate.

Good job in the city of my choice.

Jay at OK! was very supportive in the process of getting me to Korea. I left Canada to come here during Covid and Jay was very helpful and patient during the entire process. I would recommend Jay and OK! recruiting to anyone. He is easy to get ahold of and answers questions very promptly. I've been very happy with him. Jay helped me find a school that offers programs that match my teaching experience and preferences. The staff at the school has been very friendly and supportive since I arrived in Korea. I am thankful that I was able to find comfortable work in an uncertain time.

Jay Is Awesome

I received an initial response and potential job positions from Jay within hours of contacting OK Recruiting. Jay was considerate of my preferences and respected my interview decisions. I signed my contract at a time when circumstances were volatile, but Jay was supportive, helpful, and patient with my inquiries and emails. Within reasonable hours, Jay would always respond in a quick and timely manner. Even after arriving, he has been checking in once in a while to make sure I'm doing alright. I highly recommend contacting Jay if you are looking to find a teaching position in Korea!

Trust Jay

I truly cannot recommend Jay enough, he is amazing. Jay went above and beyond the expectations of any recruiter. He helped me get a wonderful job at a school perfect for me. The location of my school is just what I wanted. The teachers and staff at my school are so kind and wonderful. Jay also ensured I got to Korea safely. Whenever I had a question or concern Jay quickly responded and always helped. Without Jay's reassurance and guidance coming to Korea would have been impossible. He works hard to make sure you have the best experience.

My overall experience

Jay was my recruiter and they're great at their job! Through OK Recruiting, I was put in contact with a well known school and I've been very happy here. I've taught at a few schools in Seoul and this one is definitely the best for me. A slower pace, a bit more nature and friendly people are all around my new area. And it's still just minutes away from all of the hustle and bustle of Jamsil, Hongdae, and Myeondong!

During the hiring process, I had a lot of support with anything I needed and felt very secure. They were with me every step of the way - the interview, meeting and the first day. They even checked in with me a few months later to make sure everything was still going well!

Overall, Jay is very attentive and time efficient. I can fully recommend them!

Magnificent!

This is my 2nd year in Korea and first time using OK Recruiting. I have to say that I was extremely pleased with the service provided. I contacted OK Recruiting, explained my situation and reasons for ending my contract short along with what I was looking for in my next job. Immediately, Jay found some jobs and next thing you know I had interviews and then a job offer. He congratulated and informed me of my next steps and referred me to a link of all the documents I would need for my E-2 Visa transfer. Throughout the whole process(from interviewing to getting my E-2 Visa transfer) Jay would periodically check up on me to make sure that I was okay or if I had any questions. His quickness was greatly needed when I had an issue with immigration. The immigration office requested some additional that I had no idea where to obtain. I sent him my email and not even 20mins had gone by when he called. After hearing my explanation, he assured me that I still had time and that he already sent me the address of the government office I had to visit to obtain them. Come the following week, I went to said location, got the documents and headed off to immigration where it was processed. I have to say, the E-2 Visa transfer gave me a scare and stressed me out(this literally just happened about a week ago). If it weren't for Jay's swift response and support I wouldn't have known where to go or what to do. Jay is a life saver! In short, OK Recruiting is amazing and I would totally recommend it.

What would you improve about this program?
There is nothing to improve on, everything is great. Jay is a professional and very knowledgable at his job.

Used Twice and Not Disappointed

I've used OK Recruiting twice and had Jay as my recruiter both times. Each time he has been super helpful and very kind. He helped me out each step of the way and I can always rely on him to respond to messages and emails very quickly. Jay went out of his way to make sure my transition into each job went smoothly. He was never bothered about the hundreds of questions I asked and if he didn't know the answer would research or find the most accurate answer to my questions. Each job I have gotten using him has been a well run school with excellent facilities, staff, and housing. I have yet to feel unsafe taking a job through OK Recruiting and I would highly recommend using them for finding new jobs in Korea! It was a great experience for me and I am very thankful to Jay for all the help he has provided me.

New to South Korea

Hello if you are wanting to teach in South Korea then OK Recruiting is the place to come to. My recruiter , Jay was here for me every step of the way...what more could you ask for? He made applying and ALL the paperwork super easy. I absolutely recommend OK Recruiting services and Jay. Going overseas is stressful enough as it is why would you want an
non- attentive and unsupportive recruiter? What I like about the program is you never have to worry if your recruiter received an email, paperwork, etc. as you get almost an immediate response. Any questions that are asked are returned back in a timely manner. I already have referred my daughter and within days she had a job! Playing the waiting game is hard but OK Recruiting has their act together. I can't say THANK YOU enough to OK Recruiting and Jay...Jay is AWESOME!!

What would you improve about this program?
No complaints as the program is ran as a well oiled machine. It isn't broke don't fix it. Recruiter Jay is on top of his game.

First time in Korea

I had no idea what I was getting into when I applied to work in Korea - so I’m super grateful to my recruiter for helping with the visa acquiring process. Without his help I probably wouldn’t have been able to find a job so quickly and efficiently - especially since I was still finishing a contract in Taiwan when I applied for Korea. It was tough getting all my documents from the US, and there were times when I was worried I wouldn’t have everything I need ready in time - but I was talked through it all and now I’m here! The job itself turned out to be a great fit for me. The school has a flexible teaching style that I love and the accommodations are great! I definitely recommend OK recruiting for those looking to find a teaching job here.

Excellent Communication

My recruiter (Jay) is very prompt as responding to any issues, is very patient and is a good guide especially to someone new to South Korea.
So far I’ve had nothing but happiness working with OK Recruiting.
Whenever I was unsure about something (whether it’s about education, Korean culture and even ordering food) my recruiter was always there with an answer.
This is my first time in Korea teaching English so I was slightly scared but OK Recruiting made it easier and took a lot of worries off my chest.
They are very patient as well- especially when my visa was delayed they kept in contact and made sure everything was going smoothly.
In conclusion I can highly recommend OK Recruiting as I have had a wonderful time in South Korea so far and it’s a dream come true.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Definitely arriving to work at my first hagwon and not being sure how everything worked.
I overcame it with the help of my co-workers and slowly understanding that I’m in a foreign country where English isn’t the first language to taking it slowly and calmly is ideal.
