A Great Recruiter Before AND After You Arrive in Korea!

Review
I wouldn't normally leave a review, but I remember looking at different recruiters before going with Korvia and if you're feeling skeptical, I hope my great experience with Korvia will persuade you to go with them.
I had a unique situation prior to coming over here. I was able to secure an F4 visa and I'm a military spouse, so I didn't need as much assistance in certain areas as other prospective teachers. Because I am a military spouse, however, my job prospects were severely limited by location. Korvia was great at finding jobs in my area. I also appreciated that they didn't spam me with a bunch of jobs that didn't fit my criteria. Some other recruiters did that, and it was just like, "Hey, thanks bro, but I already told you I live here and that job is 200 miles away."
My recruiter, Ciena, was great. The first job she sent me was for an elementary school (I really wanted high school, but we were having a hard time finding anything). I accidentally missed the phone interview and I felt terrible! I would have totally understood if Ciena had thought, "Well, that recruit certainly doesn't care about this job. Let me concentrate on other clients." But she totally didn't! A week or so later, she got me an interview at a local high school and I've been working here ever since!
The support I've received from Korvia AFTER placement has been great too. I haven't needed a ton of help, but I've emailed my recruiter a handful of times for advice and she's always been attentive and helpful. It's really cool that they do get-togethers every few months. They're really low key and fun.
I'm trying to think of anything negative from my experience to make this review less one-sided but I honestly can't think of anything. As I stated before, though, I really didn't need a lot of hand-holding so I can't attest to how Korvia is for someone who needs a lot of assistance every step of the way. I'm sure they're just as great!
