Top quality

My first experience with a recruiter from Korvia was nothing but a start to a new journey of what I had always wanted to do. My recruiter gave me the opportunity to start a new career path. Before getting recruited by Korvia, I had only in my mind of wanting to try something different from what I had been doing in Korea.

My recruiter was able to cater to my needs and find job opportunities that would suit my strength. She was very supportive through the whole process. In fact, I was just so surprised she would give me so much support and encouragement through this new process. She always touch based with me and guided me through what documents were needed and so forth.

When going for my interviews and getting lost with directions, my recruiter was always there to help me. I can't thank her enough for being such a brilliant and a dependable person.

With many interviews, my interviewer also recognised that I was referred by Korvia Recruiting, which in fact gave me the heads up in the job furthermore than if I just applied personally. Korvia is widely recognised and acknowledged as a good agency that selects good employees.

So, I can definitely say a big thank you to my recruiter Ciena:) Thanks to her, I am able to start at my new job that is perfect for me. I couldn't be any happier.

MY experience with Korvia

My recruiter was very open and honest about everything. She told me what to expect and how likely outcomes would be. She helped me with every question I posed and even replied outside of her working hours (9-5) from time to time. I am truly impressed with how much effort they put in and how it doesn't change after you are settled in. I would strongly advise anyone to use Korvia as their agency.

Amazing People

Korvia worked with my girlfriend and I to make sure we got placed in the best location that fit what we were looking for! They were always in contact with us and helped answer every question we had about the entire process! We would highly recommend Korvia to anyone thinking about teaching overseas! It has been a pleasure working with these amazing people.

Awesome recruiter!

Korvia really helped me SO MUCH before coming out here. They gave me a detailed list of all the things I was supposed to do and paperwork I was supposed to sign. They were extremely organized and helpful. Seriously though. I applied to other recruiters before them but chose Korvia because they replied to my emails quickly. When I got to Korea, they also answered any questions I had and continue to have. Their welcome party was also a blast and a great way to meet new people. Honestly, the recruiters are less like business people working for you and more like friends walking alongside you. They have a top notch group of people.

What would you improve about this program?
It's your duty to check out the schools before you apply to them. Korvia, just like any business, is trying to make money. They show you the schools and you decide where to go. I know a couple people who got placed in schools with poor administration. So once again, check out the schools before you apply. Korvia is just the middleman.

Korvia is the BEST Recruiting Agency

I applied to teach in Korea overseas in Japan. The staff has experience with helping expats from other countries find work and be placed in Korea. My recruiter, Jessie, knew what to do every step of the way and if she didn't she would ask and get back to me quickly. I really felt like Korvia cared and was working really hard to help me find a great position. I ultimately landed a high level middle school in a city outside Seoul. The location and people here are great and exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend Korvia to anyone and everyone looking to teach at a public school in Korea!

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe Korvia can work with the Korean government and get the resident cards expedited.

Support and Encouragement

After I was accepted by KorVia, I had this intense fear that I would be THAT person--the one who asks a million questions, half of them with obvious answers, and I would become that annoying teacher. But, never once did any of the KorVia team members make me feel stupid or like I was a nuisance. Any time I asked a question they provided me with a full and clear answer. I constantly felt encouraged and supported, and despite making it here, it doesn't feel like that that encouragement and support will end; they are still sending information and supportive emails! KorVia is a superb team.

Best Recruiting Agency Imaginable

Mother Teresa once said, "People don't remember what you say and do; they remember how you made them feel." Korvia embodies this profound statement for me. Korvia Consulting made me feel so important and so encouraged through the stressful process of finding a position teaching English in Korea. I feel so grateful to the phenomenal staff there. If you want a quality position, go with Korvia. They are so helpful every step of the way!

What would you improve about this program?
I really don't have any complaints with Korvia.

Excellent Effort

Korvia was incredibly helpful in placing me in South Korea. I applied late, but three recruiters worked with me to try to find me a suitable position. I ended up being placed in the center of my first choice city, with my apartment being only a five minute walk from my school. This experience and transition has been wonderful and relaxed due to the tireless efforts of the Korvia team.

What would you improve about this program?
I would suggest a network to connect teachers in cities other than Seoul. They have a great network there, but for teachers in places like Daegu, Busan, and Gwangju, the network is not really set up/advertised.

Korvia-One of the Best

Upon researching for recruiters in Korea, I decided to go with Korvia. After I applied through their website, Daisy was the one to contact and interview me. She asked detailed questions, so I felt a bit stressed, but I later realized that was to weed out any applicants ill-suited to teach in Korea, at least from a professional standpoint. In the next few months, we corresponded via email, and slowly started to begin applying for schools. Of course, I lacked the necessary documents (FBI took forever, school didn't send out diploma until August), but Daisy was very patient with me throughout the process and answered any questions I had. Also, she was optimistic, which helped me get through this process. As I acquired my documents mid-summer, Ciena started contacting me in lieu of Daisy. Ciena had sent me several positions via email, but I decided to wait it out for a better position. I was about to apply for a business English position with Ciena's recommendation, but I suddenly got an offer for a public school position. Two days later, I had signed my contract and was set to arrive in Korea by the end of August. During this process, I'd been slow at responding some days as well as being picky, but Ciena was very patient with me and answered my emails in a timely manner. My only reservation about Korvia is that they're new in terms of working with hagwons, so the hagwon positions offered are limited. Overall, my experience with Ciena and Daisy were excellent, and I would definitely work with Korvia again.

What would you improve about this program?
More hagwon placements/ways to negotiate for better contracts with hagwon owners.
