The Motive Recruiting team members have all been working in the industry for many years and have first-hand experience working as English teachers in Korea. Therefore, we understand what it means to be a teacher in Korea and the challenges teachers face in the current job market.
We strive to work only with the best schools and private academies in Korea by conducting comprehensive research on potential partner institutions. This includes examining their reputation among teachers, available academic programs, and overall commitment to providing quality education. We also value the input of our teachers who are already working at our partner schools or academies and they would be happy to share their personal experiences with potential candidates.
The well-being of our teachers is a top priority and full support is given to all throughout the recruitment process. We first try our best to understand your personal preferences and goals by having a one on one meeting with you. This allows us to match you with the most suitable positions and preferred locations and gives you time to ask any questions about working and living as a foreign teacher in Korea.
