Korea Exchange to Hire 40 New Employees in 2021

Introduction of Regional Talent Recruitment Quota System in Non-Capital Areas

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] The Korea Exchange will publicly recruit about 40 new employees for next year.

The Korea Exchange announced this recruitment plan on the 1st. Although 36 people will be hired, considering the additional selection outside the quota for talented individuals from non-metropolitan areas (up to 10%), the total number of recruits is expected to be around 40.

Applications will be accepted until the 16th, and the written exam will be held on the 17th of next month. Afterwards, first and second interviews will be conducted in November, and the final successful candidates will be announced in December.

The recruitment fields include a total of four areas: Business & Economics, Law, Mathematics & Statistics, and IT. There are no restrictions on academic background or major. For the written exam, applicants can choose to take one of six subjects: Business Administration, Economics, Law, Mathematics, Statistics, or IT. The written exams will be held in Seoul and Busan.

The application form will implement a 'blind recruitment' process at each stage without items such as academic background, family relations, gender, or age. To select outstanding regional talents, a recruitment target system for non-metropolitan area talents will also be introduced. If the number of successful regional candidates at each stage?document screening, written exam, interview?falls short of the target ratio (25%), additional successful candidates will be selected to fill the shortfall. If the final interview successful candidates from regional talents fall short of the target ratio, a certain proportion of additional regional talents will be accepted accordingly.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, measures such as disinfecting the test sites, wearing masks, checking for fever, and deploying quarantine experts will be implemented. A Korea Exchange official stated, "If the government raises the social distancing level in the future, the recruitment schedule may be partially changed," and added, "We will strive to create a fair recruitment environment by enhancing transparency and fairness throughout the recruitment process."
