Korvia

The interview process was very thorough and the korvia team helped me to make choices with age ranges and cities.
Korvia offered me loads of great positions, they were ever so helpful throughout this process.
While in korea they make check ups visa email. The position given to me was brilliant I didn't need much more guidance.
I would highly recommend Korvia and choose them again in the future.

KORVIA! The Second Time Around!

When I first moved to Korea 5 years ago I used Korvia. The process was daunting but Korvia stuck with me and supported me the entire way. Things got complicated and at one point I even lost a position due to some unforeseen occurrences, but my recruiter did not give up. I was placed at an amazing school and I stayed there for four years. Fast forward two years later, my second time in Korea and with a new school.

Ann Park helped me maneuver through some tricky paperwork and a sticky move. She was professional and attentive to my needs and concerns. This is what you want--an agency that really takes their time to get it right and help you every step of the way, even if you´re a vet like me. Living in a country where you can´t speak the language you will always need support.

Imagine how shocked I was to see all of my papers filled out and only needing my signature. My immigration appointment booked for me, and the moving van at my previous apartment waiting to take me to my new home.

Thanks again Korvia and thank you Ann! You really lifted a lot of stress off of my shoulders. Thanks again!

Best,
Kelly

Highly Recommend Korvia

I travelled to South Korea this year (2018) with the help of Korvia Consulting. I was only with Korvia for two weeks and they found me a placement and a contract I was happy with. My recruiter was Jina Rhee and she was amazing, as was the whole team. Really professional and friendly. They were very organised and punctual and answered all my questions. They helped me get my documents processed very quickly and made sure I understood every step of the process. They made sure I had everything I needed and followed up with phone calls and e-mails once I arrived to make sure I was settling in okay, plus sent a gift to my work! I think they are a wonderful company full of very kind-hearted and professional people and would recommend them to anyone wanting to travel to Korea.

What would you improve about this program?
Honestly, I don't think there is anything I would change. I was very happy with Korvia and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Second time

This was my second time looking for a job in Korea, and I used Korvia's services for both.

The job hunt was quick, and all the information I needed was provided when I needed it. The recruiters are pretty awesome and very professional.

Also, your relationship with Korvia does not end after you get a job. They are always there to support you, and it's good to know.

I don't know if Korvia is the best recruiter or not, since I have never gone through any other companies. I will say, the services provided to me were quite exceptional, and there isn't much left out, that I can think of, from them being at the top.

Thanks for the top notch work!

Thank You Korvia

Thanks to Korvia I was able to get the support I needed to successfully hand in all required documents to the EPIK program on time. They walked me through the process efficiently and in a timely manner. I was able to feel at ease because I knew a second pair of eyes had looked at all my documents in my application package and that they would be sent in on time. Thanks again Korvia for all of your help during the process!

Professional and Reputable

Korvia is a professional consulting agency that has helped me reach my dream of becoming a Native English Teach in South Korea.

The agency has guided me every step of the way, from submitting the proper documentations for my application to receiving a bank account and pre-paid phone plan upon arrival in Korea. I am grateful Korvia’s guidance and patience and have already recommended the agency to many friends. Shout out to Brian for being a great recruiter!

Help all the way

I'm a recent EPIK teacher from the Spring 2018 group. My recruiter Brian Yun, has helped me tremendously with my process. I was living in Brazil when I applied, and I was offered support and was kept well informed of my status while there. It was an interesting transition, but the dedication of this team has proven time and time again how much they care the people who wish to go to EPIK through Korvia.

Thanks for everything!

Guardian Angel

I cannot thank Korvia enough for all their help with my application. Applying for EPIK can be quite daunting but KORVIA was with me every step of the way. And if EPIj doesn't work out for you, they offer alternatives that are reliable and fulfilling. The support doesn't end when you get to Korea however, they also support you while you're there with things like getting a sim card and a bank account. If you are looking for a recruiter for Korea, look no further than Korvia.
