A Recruiter Who Goes Beyond the Call of Duty

Alistair genuinely cares about the welfare of his recruits from start to finish. He gets u thoroughly prepared for all the necessary docs and travel logistics. The guys waits over 12hrs at the airport just so he can personally pick up the new batch of recruits, take them out for dinner and get them in a hotel, just so they'll be prepared to meet the school the next day. If that's not exceptional service to say the least, I don't k w what is. I don't know of any other recruiter who goes such lengths.

What would you improve about this program?
Alistair's serviced is without comparison. I have no critiques.

Outstanding service

Alistair has been a massive help throughout this process, giving me step by step guide lines on what I need to know from the initial interview stages, to offer stages, and even met me a day early to help get me set up on my first day in Korea, now that I am here and with my school, he continues to help me where applicable, and is always professional yet friendly.

Korean Horizons - The Perfect Choice

Before working with Korean Horizons, I was dealing with another recruiter. This recruiter offered me a job; however, I wasn't very interested in taking that job, so I politely turned it down. The recruiter then tried to pressure me a bit into taking it, and when I declined a second time, the recruiter said they would continue to look for jobs for me, but I never heard from them again. This isn't the case with Alistair Wery at Korean Horizons. From the beginning, he is very forthright with all information. He gave me several teaching options to choose from and didn't try to pressure me into any particular one of them. Afterwards, he worked very hard to help me get the placement I had chosen, which I did. He was always very informative, respectful, and most important, honest. Everything he said would do, he did. His service upon arriving to Korea is top notch. He'll take care of you before handing you over to your school. Anyone looking to teach in South Korea should definitely check out Korean Horizons. Alistair will make sure you have everything you need from start to finish.

Questions & Answers

All of the positions we provide are full-time 12 month fixed term contracts. It's possible to renew each year.

Teaching experience is not required. 98% of all new teachers have no prior teaching experience. To apply, you need to have a bachelor. You need to have the commitment to complete the TEFL by your start date and you can apply without one. Hope that this information is useful.

Hey Paul - we did some research and it looks like the salary is controlled by the government, and there are pay grades. Appreciate the question, surely others are wondering too
