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.
Robert LawrenceI got my job at a hagwon through OK Recruiting and I have to say they were amazing. They were very reliable and helpful, and They responded to all my emails and questions very quickly.
Finding a job and sorting out your visa can be a very stressful process, but it was very easy for me because they were so helpful with everything. As soon as I got in touch with them, Bonnie gave me a list of potential jobs and sorted out several interviews and within 2 days I had a job lined up. I have been here nearly 2 months now and I am loving my job so much.
I have nothing bad to say about them, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of coming to work in Korea.
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.
Stephen GronsbellJay has been absolutely great.
From the moment I contacted him, he sent me numerous job opportunities. If one didn’t work out, he would immediately send me two or three new ones. Once I found one that was the right fit, he walked me through every step of the signing process. He was very understanding and supportive, and I have recommended him to all of my friends!
Thanks again for all of your help!

성동초등학교I can say, with absolute certainty, that I would not be living and working in Seoul right now without the incredible support of Mr. Lee. Throughout the entire process (from arranging interviews, to guiding me through the visa application, through arranging airport pickup) he always took the time to respond to my questions. My situation is unusual because I came here with my non-teaching spouse, but Mr. Lee helped guided me through applying for his F-3 visa, and put me in touch with the travel agent my school used so that we could purchase a second plane ticket. I would recommend using OK Recruiting without any reservation. Living and working in Korea is an incredible experience, and one that would not have been possible without the help of this company, and this man.
Thank you, OK! And thank you Mr. Lee, for helping to make my dream a reality!
OK Recruitment have been incredible! They have been there from start to finish and even checked we had arrived okay and that the school and accommodation we are in is suitable for us. Jay in particular has been really friendly and supportive through the whole process and would often get back within a day with answers to any questions I had. I would recommend OK Recruitment to anyone!
This is my 2nd year in Korea and first time using OK Recruiting. I have to say that I was extremely pleased with the service provided. I contacted OK Recruiting, explained my situation and reasons for ending my contract short along with what I was looking for in my next job. Immediately, Jay found some jobs and next thing you know I had interviews and then a job offer. He congratulated and informed me of my next steps and referred me to a link of all the documents I would need for my E-2 Visa transfer. Throughout the whole process(from interviewing to getting my E-2 Visa transfer) Jay would periodically check up on me to make sure that I was okay or if I had any questions. His quickness was greatly needed when I had an issue with immigration. The immigration office requested some additional that I had no idea where to obtain. I sent him my email and not even 20mins had gone by when he called. After hearing my explanation, he assured me that I still had time and that he already sent me the address of the government office I had to visit to obtain them. Come the following week, I went to said location, got the documents and headed off to immigration where it was processed. I have to say, the E-2 Visa transfer gave me a scare and stressed me out(this literally just happened about a week ago). If it weren’t for Jay’s swift response and support I wouldn’t have known where to go or what to do. Jay is a life saver! In short, OK Recruiting is amazing and I would totally recommend it.
Hello if you are wanting to teach in South Korea then OK Recruiting is the place to come to. My recruiter , Jay was here for me every step of the way…what more could you ask for? He made applying and ALL the paperwork super easy. I absolutely recommend OK Recruiting services and Jay. Going overseas is stressful enough as it is why would you want an
non- attentive and unsupportive recruiter? What I like about the program is you never have to worry if your recruiter received an email, paperwork, etc. as you get almost an immediate response. Any questions that are asked are returned back in a timely manner. I already have referred my daughter and within days she had a job! Playing the waiting game is hard but OK Recruiting has their act together. I can’t say THANK YOU enough to OK Recruiting and Jay…Jay is AWESOME!!
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!
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.
MikeIn 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.
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 organised 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!
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!
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 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 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.
Michael Kleynhans 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!
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.
Cheers
Phillip Bowie
I’ve used OK Recruiting twice and had Jay as my recruiter both times. Each time he has been super helpful and very kind. He helped me out each step of the way and I can always rely on him to respond to messages and emails very quickly. Jay went out of his way to make sure my transition into each job went smoothly. He was never bothered about the hundreds of questions I asked and if he didn’t know the answer would research or find the most accurate answer to my questions. Each job I have gotten using him has been a well run school with excellent facilities, staff, and housing. I have yet to feel unsafe taking a job through OK Recruiting and I would highly recommend using them for finding new jobs in Korea! It was a great experience for me and I am very thankful to Jay for all the help he has provided me.
