Description: Hello! Here at People Recruit we are searching for out going individuals who are highly motivated and interested in having an exciting new experience abroad. We are a fully licensed and accredited ESL recruiting company, licensed by the Government of South Korea. We're based in South Korea and have been placing teachers in quality jobs since 2002.

If you are a college graduate who is tired of your current job, searching for something new, or simply want to experience and learn a new culture and language, all while earning and saving money, teaching English in South Korea is a great place to start.

*Note: The Korean Government has begun the process of changing their visa regulations for ESL teachers. As of right now, effective December 15th, the Korean Government will require all applicants of an E2 visa will be required to provide a criminal background check from a city police station, a self health check list, as well as (for first time applicants) an interview with a Korean embassy in your home country along with your original degree and official "sealed" transcripts. These specifications are changing daily and we will keep you posted, but for now please obtain all of the stated documents and prepare accordingly for the previous requirements. If you have a question about these changes please feel free to inquire.

In addition, for first time applicants you will no longer be able to come to Korea and obtain a job first (and then go to Japan for a visa run), you must apply in your home country.
