Kang & Kriel Recruitment
ESL365 uses a 7-dimension AI matching algorithm to connect ESL teachers with schools in South Korea. Teachers create free profiles, schools post job requirements, and our AI delivers ranked candidate matches within 24 hours. The platform handles the full process: matching, interviews, contracts, visa guidance, and onboarding.
You bring the talent — we handle matching, contracts, visas, and everything in between. A dedicated recruitment partner, not just a platform.
Upload your resume, TEFL/TESOL cert, and a short teaching video. Our AI parses your documents automatically — you just fill in preferences like region, salary, and start date. Takes about 10 minutes.
Our 7-dimension AI scores you against open positions, then K&K's recruitment consultants review the shortlist. You receive a curated list of schools that actually fit — not hundreds of random postings.
K&K coordinates scheduling between you and the school, provides interview prep materials, and handles all follow-up. You focus on the conversation — we handle the logistics.
Before you sign anything, K&K reviews every contract for Korean labor law compliance, fair terms, and E-2 visa requirements. We explain every clause so there are no surprises.
K&K guides you through the entire E-2 visa process: document prep (weeks 1-2), school submits to immigration (weeks 3-4), VIN approval (weeks 5-8), embassy visit (weeks 9-10), and arrival support including health check, ARC registration, and bank setup.
A quick 15-minute call with K&K to define your position: teaching hours, salary, housing, visa type, and start date. We check every detail against Korean labor law and E-2 regulations before publishing.
Within 38 hours, K&K delivers a curated shortlist of 3-5 pre-screened candidates. Each pack includes a one-page profile, teaching video, K&K's assessment, and a 7-dimension compatibility score.
K&K schedules video interviews between you and your top candidates, provides structured evaluation forms, and collects feedback from both sides. Compare candidates objectively using match data.
K&K reviews your contract draft for labor law compliance, facilitates digital signing, and ensures all E-2 visa requirements are met. Average time from offer to signed contract: 3 business days.
K&K manages the full visa pipeline: DHL document coordination, immigration submission, embassy follow-up, and pre-arrival planning. After arrival, we support health checks, ARC registration, and 1-month/3-month satisfaction check-ins.

ESL365's AI evaluates compatibility across: (1) salary expectations, (2) location preference, (3) teaching experience level, (4) school type fit (hagwon, public, international), (5) cultural alignment, (6) contract terms, and (7) career goals. Each dimension is weighted based on user priorities.
While our strongest presence is in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, and Daejeon, our platform serves schools across South Korea. Teachers interested in rural or suburban positions can still find matches through our nationwide school network.
Yes, ESL365 serves both overseas teachers looking to move to Korea and teachers already living in Korea seeking new positions. Teachers with F-4 or other valid work visas can find positions without E-2 visa sponsorship requirements.
Our Outcome Learning system tracks which matches lead to successful, long-term placements. It analyzes which of the 7 matching dimensions (salary, location, experience, timing, certifications, culture fit, age group) best predict success, then automatically adjusts the algorithm weights. Three specialized agents (Career, School, Compliance) collaborate on every match for maximum accuracy.
