An email sent to Julie's Recruiting four days ago asking for more details about the application deadline, the pay scale, and an age limit received no response.
A search on AsianTeacher.net will retrieve other positions in the area and around the country.

Uh, why not moonlight as a recruiter, that could be lucrative.
Yeah, I've thought about it, but the opportunity hasn't presented itself.
Julie's Recruiting just emailed back, saying applicants fresh out of college get 2.0, people with some sort of experience or qualification get 2.3, people with a combination of qualifications gets 2.5, and people with the Jeollanam-do Office of Education get 2.7. There is no application deadline, as they accept them throughout the year, but priority and preference go to people with their paperwork ready for visa process. And, there is no age limit, but retirement in Korea is 62 and schools tend to shy away from teachers approaching that. As I wrote last year, EPIK, GEPIK, and other recruiters have imposed their own age limits:

Wow. 2.7 for positions with the OoE? Man, that's almost enough to tempt me back to Jindo!
I guess, but really not much of a change from several years ago. Not bad for a young person, but hard to settle down and raise a family with that sort of salary.
True, though it's double what I earn here in the USA! Triple, actually, if you consider the savings on rent.
