The total number of recruits, 1,329, is an increase of 357 from last year's 972. This reflects the demand for workforce expansion due to the expanded implementation of social welfare services and Busan City's commitment to resolving youth employment issues in the region.

To secure excellent personnel in response to rapidly changing administrative demands and ensure fairness in the examination, open competitive exams will be the principle. However, for research, guidance positions, some technical positions, and technical high school graduates from specialized high schools and Meister high schools, recruitment will be conducted through career competitive exams to strengthen expertise in each field.
