Embark Recruiting has always been committed to the safety, security, and satisfaction of our teachers. Before partnering with any school or recommending institutions in Korea, we conduct thorough checks to ensure each placement is with a fully legal and reputable organization.
Our school verification system protects teachers from illegal placements, unsafe working conditions, and unreliable employers. By combining legal checks, reputation analysis, and ongoing monitoring, we provide peace of mind and professional support throughout the recruitment process.
1. Verification of Legal Status
We begin by confirming the school’s legal registration and operational status:
-
Business Registration Number: We request the official business registration number of every school. This allows us to verify that the school is legally registered with the Korean authorities.
-
Official Documentation: We review incorporation certificates and licenses to ensure the school is authorized to operate.
-
Regulatory Compliance: We check that the school complies with local labor, employment, and educational regulations.
By confirming these legal credentials, we ensure that our teachers are only placed in institutions that are fully compliant with national regulations
2. Reputation and Track Record
Legal compliance alone is not enough. We also assess school reputation and work practices.
-
Teacher References: We reach out to current and former teachers to gather firsthand feedback on working conditions and management practices.
-
Community and Online Reviews: We monitor forums, social media, and teacher networks for red flags or repeated complaints.
-
Longevity and Stability: We consider how long the school has been operating and its track record.
We ensure that our partner schools provide a supportive and professional work environment for our teachers.
3. Ongoing Monitoring
School verification is not a one-time process. We maintain continuous oversight to ensure that our standards are upheld.
-
Regular Check-Ins: We stay in touch with our teachers to ensure that working conditions remain consistent with contract expectations.
-
Prompt Action on Concerns: If any issues arise, we investigate and work with the school to resolve problems promptly or dissolve our partnership.
Through ongoing monitoring, teachers receive continuous support and reassurance that their work environment remains safe, fair, and professional.
