Securing a job teaching English in South Korea can be quite easy. If you check online, there are many new postings each day on job boards and recruiters that are more than eager to work with you. That being said, finding a quality teaching job at an institution that gives you what YOU need can be quite a challenge. Luckily for me, I was put in contact with Appletree Recruiting.

Appletree Recruiting provides a standard of service that I have not experienced at any other recruiting agency. This spring, I was trying to move schools after completing a year at another academy. My recruiter, Jean, maintained contact with me regularly through my entire job search. She recommended school after school, and she put in a lot of effort to offer me only jobs that matched what I wanted. Unlike other recruiters, Jean focused on molding job offers to my standard rather than asking me to compromise my requests to match a pre-set job posting. I really admired her patience with me because I turned down many job offers, but Jean stuck with me and gave me an opportunity that was better than what I had even imagined. Once my job was secure, Jean continued to maintain contact. She helped me find an apartment, coached me on interviews, and even helped me with my visa process.

My experience at Appletree Recruiting changed my perspectives of the job search process in Korea. They take the time to walk you through every step of the application process and maintain contact with you long after you sign your contract. Now, I am working at an institution that I love and had a great experience in getting here. It is all thanks to Appletree! I strongly recommend Appletree Recruiting to all who are interested in teaching in Korea!
