A1 Recruiting Reviews 36

I had a great experience working with Joe. He was in constant contact with me throughout the process and gave great feedback and resources. It was a great stream of potential jobs, so I never felt worried about finding something that would suit me.

Joe at A1 was one of the best recruiters I've ever worked with. He provided plenty of interview opportunities, answered all of my questions in a timely manner, and provided personalized guidance that many other services lacked. In addition, he responded incredibly quickly (often within the hour), despite our time zone differences. I strongly recommend them for anyone searching for a school in Korea!

I’ve worked with A1 Recruiting over the past few months, and I’m genuinely thankful for how smooth the entire process has been. From the beginning, communication was clear and consistent, and I never felt left in the dark about what was happening. I really appreciated how upfront and realistic they were about different opportunities and what to expect.
Joe was my main point of contact, and he made a big difference in my experience. Since this was my first time going through the visa process on my own, I had a lot of questions. He was always patient, reassuring, and quick to respond, which helped take a lot of stress off my shoulders. It honestly felt like I had someone in my corner the whole time.
I’m grateful for the support and for helping me find a school that feels like a great fit. I would absolutely recommend A1 Recruiting to anyone looking for guidance and a team that truly cares.

This is the second time that A1 recruiting has helped me to find a job in South Korea. Joe is super helpful and polite - he has great communication skills!
He responds in a timely manner, and has always taken my considerations into account.
A1 guides you step by step so that you don't miss out on anything, and they are with you all the way from the interview stage until you start your job!
Would personally always choose A1, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a teaching job and a smooth transition abroad!☆☆☆☆☆

I am so grateful for A1 Recruiting's help throughout my first experience of teaching in Korea. I personally communicated with Joe who always responded to me quickly and diligently found schools that fit my preferences. I highly recommend working with them!

I had a positive experience working with A1 Recruiting throughout the process of securing my teaching position in Korea. Communication was clear and timely, and they were helpful in answering my questions along the way. The transition process has been smooth so far, and I appreciate their support leading up to my move. Thank you to Joe and the team for their assistance.

I have used A1 Recruiting for the last few months and I’m very pleased with the support and care I received throughout the process. Emails were always replied to in a timely manner and politely, and the team was fair and honest about the offers and options available.

My direct point of contact, Joe, was kind, professional, and very helpful throughout especially during the visa process, which I had never done on my own before. Any question I had, no matter how small, was answered quickly and clearly. It’s been a great experience finding a school placement with them.

The experience of finding a school in Korea was very easy thanks to Joe at A1! He had helped me before with finding a school, and made sure that the school was a good fit for me! I’m very thankful that he answered all of my many emails with probably ridiculous questions! If I do look for another school I will definitely always go through A1!

Amazing, one of the best recruitment agencies I’ve worked with! I received prompt responses every time I had a question, whether it was about job offers or facilitating communication between me and my future employer. I was never pushed or pressured to sign or commit to a school. They gave me the time and space to carefully review each offer, and whenever I had additional questions after an interview, they contacted the school and clarified everything for me.

I am extremely impressed with my experience with A1 Recruiting. I have worked with other recruiters in the past, but none have been as efficient and effective as A1 Recruiting.
Their registering process is very simple. I just needed to fill out an online form that asked both experience and also preference. What was particularly important was that there was a special needs/requests box. So if you have any restrictions they are able to take those into consideration when finding a potential match.
I was on a time crunch and Joe was my main point of contact. Within a few messages we were able to secure 2 interviews for that same day and within a week I had secured a contract with a great school that suits be greatly.
I am so appreciative of how thorough and organized the entire process was.
I would definitely recommend A1 Recruiting to anyone wanting a smooth experience.

I worked with A1 recruiting and they helped me with the entire process from scheduling interviews, acquiring the visa, and making sure that I was settled in once I arrived to Korea! They were very efficient and made sure to answer any and all questions that I had! I loved that even after arriving they kept in touch making sure that I had everything I needed. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with their service. They can most definitely help match you to the right school! They care!!!

Joe and Min were great from start to finish (I'm writing this waiting for my flight!) Joe understood my preferences and matched me with appropriate schools. He was in constant contact and was always there for support when needed. Joe and Min were super helpful with the visa process and we're incredibly patient and supportive. Can't fault them and were always on hand for any questions or queries. Would 100% recommend !

MinYoung and Joe did such a great job in helping me find a job! They were able to provide me with interviews that were as close to my preferences as possible. They never rushed me to make any decision about choosing a school and when I had any questions/concerns they promptly addressed them. They were also very quick to respond whenever I had any questions about my visa. I highly recommend A1 Recruiting!

I cannot say enough good things about my recruiters and the incredible support I received throughout this entire process. From the very beginning, they instantly connected with me and made me feel comfortable about such a huge life decision. Every step of the way, they were there with guidance, encouragement, and answers to every question I had (and I had many!).

I’ll admit, I almost backed out because I was teaching English in the U.S. and wanted to wait until my school found a replacement. Joe was especially understanding and supportive. He encouraged me to take the time I needed, talked me through my options, and helped arrange for me to come a bit later so I didn’t have to burn any bridges. That flexibility meant the world to me, and it truly showed how much they care about their teachers, not just filling a position.

Because of Joe & MinYoung’s professionalism, patience, and genuine care, I now have an amazing opportunity in Korea that I wouldn’t have had without them. I’m so grateful, and I hope to stay in contact with them for years to come. If you’re even considering teaching in Korea, I can’t recommend this team highly enough. They go above and beyond in every way.

Everyone at A1 Recruiting was extremely helpful throughout the process. There were many bumps in the road during it all, but the recruiters were all so patient, encouraging, and understanding. They were always there to help answer all my questions! The service here was absolutely amazing! It was a 12 out of 10!!!

I think with so many things going on and keep track of it was really reassuring to have a team that was knowledgeable and quick at responding to messages. I really enjoyed working with Joe. He answered all of my questions and kept in constant communication regarding the visa process. He helped me find a school that was the best fit for me and was around during the entire process up until booking my flight. I would definitely recommend A1 to any prospective foreign teachers looking to move to SK.

My experience with A1 has been absolutely wonderful! Joe is extremely professional, kind, and informative. He’s always there to help every step of the way. Joe has a very neat and effective system in place to ensure your success, and he is quick to secure interviews based on your requests. I couldn’t be more grateful for his helpful hand throughout this journey. Thank you! :)

I worked with Joe, who has been extremely helpful, reassuring and knowledgable about the process. He put me in touch with multiple schools and quickly scheduled interviews. He thoroughly and patiently explained all relevant steps of the VISA process, which has been especially tricky in my case as I'm an English teacher with dual nationality, making everything twice as long and complicated.
While the process itself had its fair share of hurdles and frustrations, A1 has been never less than transparent and trustworthy, and there was never a moment where I felt pressured to make a decision.
After having interviewed with multiple schools, I found the one I feel most compatible with, and I'm excited to begin this journey.
A1 Recruiting has been a true partner in this process, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Despite a small hurdle with one school, I was able to successful secure my contract and visa through A1 recruiting with another school. I originally found this company on Dave’s ESL Cafe forum. Best advice: be aggressive/talkative on the virtual interviews! And . . . Save up funds enable to be ready to start the new chapter for your life. A1 has quick responses/feedback time so you need to be prepared at any point in time. Joe kept my anxiety down as the waiting process extended a few more weeks than I thought. Im grateful since I always have alot of questions, too.
