Teacher Testimonials
Jay was my recruiter and they’re great at their job! Through OK Recruiting, I was put in contact with a well known school and I’ve been very happy here. I’ve taught at a few schools in Seoul and this one is definitely the best for me. A slower pace, a bit more nature and friendly people are all around my new area. And it’s still just minutes away from all of the hustle and bustle of Jamsil, Hongdae, and Myeondong!
During the hiring process, I had a lot of support with anything I needed and felt very secure. They were with me every step of the way – the interview, meeting and the first day. They even checked in with me a few months later to make sure everything was still going well!
Overall, Jay is very attentive and time efficient. I can fully recommend them!
They were quick to find available options and get an interview set up when I made my choice. A lot of other recruiting agencies would take days or even weeks to reply back to my emails but my recruiter, Jay, was always timely with the replies. This was crucial when contacting him after I arrived in Korea and I needed responses to some things immediately such as on the first day of work.
I cannot personally attest to the amazing experience I’ve had with OkRecruiting. From the onset, my recruiter, Jay Suh, demonstrated unparalleled competence and made what could have been a daunting process incredibly easy. His guidance was invaluable, particularly during the visa application, where he walked me through every step, making it a seamless experience.
Thanks to OkRecruiting and Jay’s efforts, I now find myself in a remarkable school with an exceptional working environment. The work culture is not only positive but also fosters growth and collaboration. The children I work with are well-behaved, contributing to a conducive and enjoyable teaching atmosphere.
Moreover, I am delighted with my apartment, and the settling-in process has been smooth. OkRecruiting not only fulfilled its promise but exceeded my expectations. I am thriving in my new environment, and I enthusiastically encourage others to consider using this platform for their professional endeavors. OkRecruiting, and particularly Jay Suh, have played a pivotal role in shaping this positive chapter of my care.
Since I first made contact with OK Recruiting I have had exceptional support and assistance. After having all my documents ready for an E2 visa, they lined up interviews based on my work needs and requirements, within a week. They assisted me throughout the process in record time. This continuous support allowed me to complete the entire recruitment process in 1 month, since first making contact with OK recruiting. This fast and attentive work ethic deserves 5 star recognition. I will most certainly recommend them to anyone who would like to teach English in South Korea and wants top service delivery.

OK Recruiting has been incredibly helpful from start to finish (though, my experience in Korea has only just started). I would like to thank Jay particularly!
He helped me find a position at Simson Academy in Songpa within a week and quickly connected me with a teacher there for help with the accommodation and school. Jay also answered every question I had in a timely manner, and was never once negative about the process. There is no doubt in my mind that I couldn’t have moved to Korea without his help.
Jay helped make this transition to Korea smooth. He responded quickly to any questions I had, he made sure I got all my paperwork, tickets, and access to my director. He listened to what I wanted in a location and a school, and I would say I lucked out. The director is very attentive and making sure my living situation is well cared for through the landlord. I live very close to my school and I live close to the other teachers at my school. It is small, in Jeonju, which is exactly what I wanted. I have no complaints so far!
Teaching overseas can be a life-changing adventure, offering personal growth, building relationships, cultural immersion and travelling opportunities. I can confidently say that it’s an experience unlike any other but it requires flexibility, patience, and a willingness to embrace change because it does come with challenges.
I am thankful that I took the chance and was able to locate a school. From the first day until I arrived, Jay Suh, the recruiter from Okay Recruiting, who helped me along the way, was simply incredible.
I am familiar with working in Korea, so working with Ok Recruiting was easy. As long as you have your documents ready, they will be able to assist you quickly. Setting up the interview with the school was fast and the application for the vin all happened quite fast. Within 2 months I was in Korea all thanks to their smooth communication between me and the director. The transition back from my country to Korea again was quite smooth. I’d suggest having a lot of patience and being open to the many changes that you might not be familiar with in your home country.

My name is Phillip Bowie and I want to tell you about my recruiter Jay Suh and how helpful he was. I was a little hesitant to use a recruiter at first because of past experiences. However, I am really glad I decided to work with Jay. He seemed to always be available when I had a question or if a problem came up he was able to assist me with everything. He’s a very hard and good worker. He will be able to help you with everything you need and more. Thank you so much for being so helpful and being an amazing recruiter to work with. I had a brief problem with my apartment and he immediately informed me about everything and what was going to be done. I didn’t have this experience with a recruiter before. I will definitely be recommending other people or friend to him for help.
I have lived and worked in South Korea for the past three years, and this program has helped me find job every single time. They are reliable and do not hesitate to help the teacher find a school that suits them. Jay especially has been so helpful!
When I first arrived in Seoul, I had no idea that I would end up wanting to stay longer after the end of my first contract. When it was finally time for me to find another school, Jay helped me ever step of the way, from the finicky visa process to the actual moving date. Any questions I have, Jay has an answer for. And if he does not, he always gets back to it quickly!
OK Recruiting has played an important role in my life in Korea. I would definitely recommend this program for anyone who is looking to start teaching here!
Jay from OK Recruiting is the Best! My wife and I were searching for teaching positions in which we could work at the same school. Within no more than an hour after we messaged him he had already replied with potential positions; and this despite it already being nearly midnight where he was. We had the interview the next morning and by that afternoon we had signed contracts! He helped us each step of the way and corresponded with the school on our behalf regarding arrangements. We have now been at the school for a month and all is going great. I would highly recommend Jay’s services.
I am an experienced teacher and I wasn’t looking for a generic entry level job, Jay seemed to get that right away and he only sent me jobs that meet what I was looking for and we ended up founding a fantastic place that I think is really unique and different from the typical Korean hagwon and really challenges me to do good work. Jay was totally on top of things, he responded to emails within just an hour or so of me sending them. He also helped me negotiate for a higher salary. He is great!
Jay is quite different than other recruiters. He is always very quick in responding to any questions you might have (sometimes he replies to my emails instantly). I have worked with many recruiters before but they tend to disregard my preferences and never stick around. Jay actually provides you with options based on your circumstances and will work with you until you find the right job. He is also very professional. What a refreshing change!
I had somewhat of a tumultuous start in Korea but it would have been more stressful if I didn’t have the help that I received from OK Recruiting. Since the beginning of my search for jobs in Korea, OK Recruiting proved to be the most reliable for presenting me to schools which in turn gave me interviews. I struggled with other recruiters to do so where as I had more chances with OK Recruiting. Jay Lee was quick, patient, and extremely responsive to not only my questions but for job availabilities as well. He also helped me find my first Hagwon job and was very understanding even when I wanted to transfer later down the road. I highly recommend using their services whether you are a newcomer or current teacher in Korea.
Thank you so much for everything!
I’ve worked with several recruiters in the past, both successfully and unsuccessfully. This time around, I enlisted the services of several recruiters to better my chances of finding the right job for me. From the moment I heard back from Jay Lee, which was within a matter of hours, I could tell that he was dedicated to finding me a job that suited my interests. By the time I heard back from the other recruiters, Jay had already found me several interview opportunities. Not only did he consistently find me high-quality job opportunities, he gave me advice on which ones to consider based on my preferences and qualifications. In addition, he has been in contact with me since I’ve been in Korea, which is a rarity, despite what some other recruiters may tell you. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Jay and OK Recruiting. I have already, and will continue recommend them to anyone interested in teaching English in Korea.
My name is Esther Kim from Perth, Australia.
I had am amazing experience with OK recruiting and the recruiter Jay was super helpful and whenever I had questions, he responded very quickly.I already had a teaching experience in Pohang, Korea and I really enjoyed teaching in Korea. I decided to come back to Korea and apply for a job in Seoul. I have never lived in a big city so I really wanted to live in Seoul and work.
At first, I tried to contact directly to schools and with my limited Korean I struggled so I decided to find a recruiter in Korea to get a job. I contacted OK recruiting when I found them on Dave’s ESL cafe.
I wasn’t really expecting a quick reply, but Jay replied really quickly and he got me a job in 3 days. I had a quick interview, sent my resume and required documents to process my application. I had everything ready so It literally took me few days to get a job. Jay organized the flight ticket and housing and he negotiated with the director so he could get me an apartment in Seoul. I could also effectively communicate with the hagwon director with Jay’s help.
When I arrived at Incheon airport, a pick up service was provided by OK recruiting and the driver took me to my apartment.
I arrived really late at night but it was really good to know that someone was picking me up. I strongly recommend OK recruiting, because it is a legitimate recruiting company and I personally had a great experience. I am currently doing what I love and enjoying every moment in Gangnam. The job that I got is as described and they are providing the benefit they are supposed to provide. There are a lot of hagwon nightmares and I am really grateful that I got a great job.
Thanks to OK recruiting!
In our interactions the agent from OK Recruiting was helpful and professional. He helped me get set up with my second school in Korea, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was looking for a less stressful position with more flexible hours, and he was able to find that for me. I would be happy to recommend the services of OK Recruiting to others looking for a job teaching EFL in Korea.
Jay Lee was very helpful in finding me a job in Korea. He kept very good and regular contact with me and guided me through every aspect of the transition. He was on hand with quick responses to any questions or queries I had. I am now working at a very good school and loving my current new life in South Korea.
OK Recruiting went above and beyond as they helped me through the recruiting process. I was looking for a specific location and time of day in which to teach, and they found a perfect match for me. Additionally, my situation was an especially difficult one due everything coming together at the last second. They helped me from the beginning to the end, showing an admirable amount of patience, understanding, and grace. I am very grateful for help and courtesy I received from them, I’m certain that I would not have been able to do this without them.
