Program Reviews

Korvia really does pull out all the stops. Right from your arrival, their friendly representatives will meet you at the airport and help you get transported to your new home and job. From that point on, communication is always easy and swift, and they're more than happy to help with any issues or questions you may have while living and working in Korea. I've dealt with many recruiters, but at this stage of the game I recommend only one.

I'm very happy that I went with Korvia as my recruiting agency.
From when I first started this process, everything was so overwhelming. I did a lot of my own research, but I still had questions. Lots of them. My recruiter was great, she always got back to me quickly no matter the scope of my questions. She kept me up to date and let me know whenever there was a new development with my application. Even after arriving, they provided support via transportation from the airport and a welcome package. I can't speak for other recruiting agencies, but I can't imagine getting the same experience I got at Korvia elsewhere.

After working with a different recruiter for nearly 6 months and getting only a few emails, I switched to Korvia. The difference was incredible. In the three months before I left the US, I spoke to Korvia almost daily as they worked with me through application and departure! I really felt like the ladies at Korvia wanted to help me get the best job possible based on my preferences. I was offered jobs through both recruiters, but I chose Korvia because I did not feel pressured into taking the position. It suited my needs perfectly and I couldn't be happier!

Korvia Consulting is one of the few reliable recruiters in Korea. Many recruiters scam you into the worst jobs possible and leave you to rot after they get their money. Therefore I was very hesitant when my friends told me to go through Korvia Consulting. I cringed, procrastinated and eventually gave in. The whole experience with them was wonderful. They walk you through the process, look for jobs with your specifications, and most importantly, they check in with you after you secure your job. They even provide webinars and lectures on what to do during your first month in Korea. In the end, the thing that really struck a chord with me was the fact they treat you like a human. That's more than what the majority of recruiters can say in Korea.

Before I decided to go with Korvia I had researched other options. After researching I found most of the people who used Korvia were extremely happy they did. Fast forward to now and I can say I am also extremely happy I did. Daisy was assigned to me and from day one she was always there to answer questions I had and to help me prep for the interview. Some of you might think, "Well...yes..thats her job", but I never felt like I was put on a backburner. Even though I know she had plenty of other applicants to deal with I always felt like my future as an EPIK teacher was important to her and she would do whatever she could to help and spend whatever amount of time needed. If you want to come to South Korea to teach English I strongly advise using Korvia.

I went into the journey becoming an English teacher in Korea with only the recommendation of using Korvia and a couple of basic web searches. What could have been an arduous process ended up being a relatively painless and good experience thanks to the work done by Korvia and its staff.

There were constant reminders, webinars, information packets, and chances to ask questions of the different recruiters at all times. This meant that we were helped along every step of the way which made my application and hiring substantially easier. I would not be where I am without Korvia.

Thanks!

I choose KorVia at first simply because of the professionalism, organization and clarity of the information offered on their website. They proved to be very helpful in making me feel secure with moving forward with my decision to become an English teacher in Korea.

The job hunt was difficult and I wasn't getting any offers for months, but I was encouraged to keep my head up, not only by my recruiter Sarah, but other members of the team. (Thank you Ciena, Ashley, and Daisy!) They were extremely thorough in answering my questions and making sure I understood the entire hiring process.

It's only been 2 months, but I love my job. I teach at an amazing reputable hagwon. My director and co-workers have help me in numerous ways in getting adjust to life in Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do. (The area is more country, with city amenities and a 15 minute bus ride away from Gwangju, a metropolitan area)

KorVia also maintains contact with teachers after their placement, and arranges parties throughout the year. If I decide to change pace a find new work, I plan to use KorVia once again.

This was my second time finding a job in Korea and so I've had to try plenty of different recruiters.
Even before they found me a good job, Korvia stood out from other recruiters. They actually have a system in place rather than just having a skype chat with nothing much to follow that up. They seem much more professional and much better organised than any of the other recruiters I had contact with.
They seem like a really friendly and genuine group of people and for anyone looking for a teaching job in Korea, I would absolutely recommend Korvia.

Korvia was very helpful to me when I was searching for a job. I had been in Korea for two years but needed to find another job due to my old job being cut. I found my current job through them and they provided a lot of assistance getting me the paperwork needed to transfer positions. My recruiter was very friendly and helpful throughout the process. They are also available to provide assistance if an issue arises with the school after you have already signed the contract. I highly recommend them for someone new to Korea or someone already in country that needs another job.

I had a unique and interesting situation that Korvia was able to help me with. My fiance already had a position in a small town with a few schools, and we really wanted to live together. Other recruiters just yes-ed me then didn't deliver. They told me they could get me job there, just to find out that they didn't even have contacts in the city. Korvia found me a job in her town. The funny thing is they happened to find me a school closer to my fiance's apartment then hers! lol. I really would recommend these folks. They're a big agency, they work with a lot of public schools, and everyone's English was first rate. Even when I came in to deliver papers, everyone there was friendly and spoke English.
