Fantastic recruiting agency

I'm so grateful that I had Korvia with me throughout my journey to Korea because they honesty made the overwhelming process so much easier! From the timely responses to any questions I had to the additional guidance and advice throughout every stage, as well as the incredibly friendly staff, I have to say that Korvia is definitely one of the best recruiting agencies around.
They listened to what I wanted and provided me with choices within my preferences, which I can't say the same for other recruiters I've previously worked with. I highly recommend Korvia, with special thanks to Ann and Hannah for all their support.

Pros
  • Excellent communicatiom
  • Friendly
  • Offers step-by-step guidance

KORVIA

This is my second year using Korvia, they helped me find my first job in Korea and now my second. Both times were seamless and they helped me find jobs within my preferences. You don't have to worry about the endless scrolling looking for jobs, they do that all for you and only present the jobs that within your preferences. The even schedule your interviews so all you have to do is show up! Up an till your first day at your new job, Korvia will be helping you, flights, housing, immigration, visa applications are just a few important steps Korvia will guide you through.

This is my second time using them and I couldn't recommend them enough. They made my teaching journey in Korea much more enjoyable and relaxing.

Great Help, Very Patient

EPIK is a great experience, and without Korvias support I would never have got here, I think. Despite many setbacks and mistakes thanks to me, Korvia still helped me out a lot, telling me what documents to get, where to send them, what I needed to prepare etc. They also set up a decent korean SIM card which they gave me upon arrival. They even have a group chat that continues to this day where you can ask for help. Incredibly helpful if you're unorganised and/or busy like I was, or it's your first time and you just need a little extra help.

Pros
  • Patient
  • Helpful
  • Friendly

Excellent recruitment agency

Overall I have had a very positive experience working with Korvia. They were extremely helpful from the start as well as after I arrived in Korea. They were very quick to reply to all of my emails, but also very patient with me when I experienced delays with getting my documents together. They knew exactly which documents I needed as well as how to get a hold of them. This was very helpful for me since I have never done anything like this before. Even after I arrived in Korea, they would check up on me to make sure I was settling in okay. I feel very safe knowing that I can count on them too if ever I need help with anything. Thanks Korvia!

Pros
  • Quick and consistent communication
  • Friendly and considerate agents
  • Very knowledgeable

Very positive experience!

Very positive experience with Korvia. They really helped and guided me through every stage of the process. I would highly recommend them!

The process of applying for a Korean visa is long and tedious with many steps. Korvia help break it down through webinars and emails to make each stage easier. I don't think I would have completed it by myself.

The pre-interview webinars were extremely helpful too, going through interview questions and setting up your camera, giving tips on clothes to wear and background.

Highly recommend- Great communication!

I have experienced great customer service communicating with Korvia! Communicating through email was swift and professional, I cannot recall a moment where I waited for a response. I always felt supported and listened to and no question was too big or too small for my coordinator. Korvia ensured that I was comfortable with every step of the process. Even post application and orientation, Korvia are still contacting us all to ensure that we are all happy, healthy and comfortable in our schools and accommodation. Korvia are also open to hear about our concerns with our school and accomadation which is reassuring.
If I were to go through this process again, I would definitely apply through Korvia.

Pros
  • Swift communication
  • Extra information

Pyeongtaek, Goduk.

Pyeongtaek is a great city to meet a wide variety of people! The city is segmented and not the easiest to get around in without a personal car. Having said that Korea's public transport system is unbelievably good, you can get around to every single part of the country without your own transportation and you never have to wait longer than 15 minutes for any form of transport! There is an excellent balance between areas of scenic natural beauty and spots of well developed infrastructure. The city is well located within South Korea and easy to travel out of to any other places you so desire. The people are relaxed and friendly, but it still has a nice bustling energy! Would recommend for most types of people! The only advice I can give to people coming alone is to not get caught up in being alone; go out, make friends and do things! Do not chill at home unless you are dead tired and are basically sleeping!

Pros
  • Countryside living with all the perks of a city.
  • Variety of people.
  • Great travel base.
Cons
  • Not an abundance of historical sites.
