It's definitely your fault for hiring them. Just like teachers who flood boards with complaints about their school and their recruiters should just face up to the fact that they have allowed themselves to be done over I think at the end of the day the schools can only blame themselves if they hire drunks and party animals because they have a nice photo.

If you hire for a university I imagine you have many people interested in your positions. Take the opportunity to hire from teachers in Korea, why don't you do face to face interviews and ask for checkable references, preferably from the applicants current or previous employer.

Many universities nowdays give degrees to just about anybody who pays the fees, in Mexico I worked with people who had a Masters in TESOL and yet barely had the common sense to do up their shoelaces.

What you need to do is hire based on the PERSON instead of their CV or as seems to be the case their PHOTO.
