Problem
Most “expat job sites” in Korea were built on the belief that foreigners in Korea lacked English job sites.
What they built: portals with English translations.
What they forgot: marketing, reach, and multicultural nuance.
The result? Expats don’t flock there. Companies end up frustrated. And yes — other job sites quietly post in our community when they can’t get traction.
Why EEIK Works
We Built our Community First
We run Every Expat in Korea, Korea’s largest expat community for 17+ years.
- 100,000+ members
- 400,000+ monthly views
- 100s of posts and questions daily about visas, jobs, employers, and life in Korea
We’ve been the trusted space for English-speaking expats since the beginning — long before Korean-run job sites for foreigners even existed.
Now, we’re bringing jobs to our community...the right way.
We don’t hide behind unverifiable claims about members or traffic.
ⓘ All figures are from Facebook Group Insights or the public group header; no estimates or unverifiable internal numbers. More screenshots available on requests.
Note: -10.8% isn’t a downtrend; it simply means the comparison day 28 days ago had higher views. Daily views swing with trending/viral topics.
Why Other Job Sites Got It Wrong
Most Korean-run “foreigner job sites” were built on the Field of Dreams fallacy: If you build it, they will come. If you build a job site for foreigners, translate it to English, foreigners will magically start to come.
But here’s the problem:
- They built job portals first and only thought about marketing last.
- They assumed “translate into English” = “foreigners will flood in.”
- They mistook talking to 4–5 foreigner friends for feedback and ideas as “market research.”
- They pitched investors with “due diligence” slides that were really just surface-level assumptions about the foreigner market in Korea.
If you look at their websites, nearly every Korean-run job site for foreigners is now scrambling to “build a foreigner community”. They missed the point. The secret was never web development. The secret was always marketing and community.
And here’s the bigger truth: Korean-run sites approach foreigners with a Korean lens — a homogenous mindset that assumes what works for Koreans must work for everyone. But “foreigner” isn’t one audience. It’s hundreds of nationalities, cultures, and nuances that shape how jobs are perceived and how opportunities are marketed.
Having GPT write your English, having experienced living abroad for 2 years, or having a few English-speaking friends isn’t enough to run a foreigner-focused platform. If that were true, every American would be a world-class entrepreneur just for being American. We both know that’s not reality.
This is why Every Expat in Korea is #1.
- We’re a foreigner-run platform, not a Korean-run portal that assumes how foreigners think and translates content for them.
- We’ve built the largest online expat community in Korea over 17 years.
- We’ve delivered digital marketing results for Samsung, government agencies, and small businesses for 10+ years.
And even with all that, we’ll say it plainly: marketing is hard.
It takes constant testing, optimization, adapting to algorithm shifts, and innovating with AI-driven trends. Your listing isn’t static. The way we promote your job opportunity this month may look very different from how we promote your next one in three months — because the online world keeps evolving.
That’s the difference. We are a foreigner-run marketing agency + community first — and a job site second.
So the question is simple:
👉 Who would you rather trust with your job openings?
Curated Content Development — Not Copy & Paste
We don’t just slap your job description into a template and hope it connects.
We curate your listing to resonate with foreign applicants:
- We talk to you about your work culture and ideal candidates
- We guide how you present yourself to expats — tone, language, positioning
- We turn dry job posts into story-driven content with emotional pull
Serious jobseekers aren't looking for brief bullet points about a business they might work at for the next few years.
We Do What Other Job Sites Don’t
Other job sites operate on SaaS models that are impersonal and focus on job post volume only.
We go deeper:
- Interview snippets with the hiring manager or staff
- Honest quotes from someone in the same or similar role
- Context about the job location, transport options, nearby shops, housing, and more
- Hyperlinks for foreign terms like “E-7 visa,” linking to digestible explainers
- Optional connections to real estate agents, visa support, or other expat services nearby
This is marketing. Not translation.
We Help You Get Discovered in the Comments Too
When someone in our Group asks a question about jobs, visas, or relocating, our team comments with links to job digest posts or helpful content. That means your job listing can show up in conversations that matter, not just a feed full of noise.
We’re seeding trust and attention organically, not spamming people.
Targeted Ads to the Right People
We also promote your job through micro-targeted FB and IG ads, not just to a generic expat audience, but to the right niche:
- Restaurant jobs → people with cooking backgrounds
- Office roles → skilled expats in Seoul metro
- Sponsored jobs → visa seekers asking about immigration in our Group
This isn’t a “post it and forget it” model. We guide your offer through the entire funnel.
Pricing Starts as low as 50,000 KRW per Week
This includes:
- Curated job listing with context and storytelling
- Pinned post in our Group
- Organic comment marketing
- Targeted ad budget and post boosting
