Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
Footprints Recruiting specializes in placing teachers in primarily Korea, Taiwan and China. The cost to teachers is free and includes a free plane ticket to the country you will be teaching in.
Who maintains your website and why?
One of the co-founders, Jeff Strachan, maintains the website with the help of a couple computer programmers. His hands-on approach ensures the website's direction does not alter its course and our company remains focused.
Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?
Our business is mainly an internet business so most of our referrals come through the internet, although we do receive many referrals from former clients word-of-mouth and universities and other educational institutions.
What are your views on Search Engines? Have they helped or hindered your website?
Google and other search engines are definitely a nice bridge between us and our prospective clients. Our costs would be many times larger if we had to only advertise offline and could not take advantage of free search engine traffic.
