Coupang Participates in 'Logistics Industry Youth Online Job Fair'... Actively Recruiting Talent

Hiring Delivery Staff Kuchin, Logistics Center Field Workers and Trainers, and Logistics Software Engineers

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coupang announced on the 21st that it will participate in the '2020 Logistics Industry Youth Job Fair' jointly hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and organized by the Korea Integrated Logistics Association.

This job fair will be conducted entirely online through the job fair website in accordance with social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). After registering a resume on the website, applicants can find companies of interest and apply for consultations or interviews.

Through this fair, Coupang will recruit for three positions: delivery staff called 'Coupang Chingu', on-site workers and training managers at Coupang Fulfillment Centers, and logistics software engineers. They plan to hire an unlimited number of talented individuals with excellent capabilities.

Coupang Chingu (CooChin), Coupang’s delivery staff, differs from similar courier workers in that they are directly employed by Coupang. They work five days a week, 52 hours per week, and receive 130 days off annually, including 15 days of paid leave. CooChin are provided with vehicles, fuel costs, communication expenses, and even medical services. Recently, Coupang established a fund of 20 billion KRW to support tuition and childcare expenses for Coupang Chingu and their children.

The Coupang Fulfillment Center will recruit on-site workers and training managers in seven categories through this fair: logistics center on-site managers, logistics center operation managers and senior managers, equipment maintenance experts, order pickers, forklift driving trainers, and on-site training managers. Detailed qualifications and job descriptions can be found on the job fair website.

In the logistics software engineer category, Coupang is looking for engineers who will play a key role in building Coupang’s proprietary automation infrastructure. Since 2014, Coupang has independently built a nationwide logistics infrastructure. Applicants will have the opportunity to experience Coupang’s advanced logistics platform that manages the entire logistics process, not just simple inbound and outbound operations.

Kim Myung-kyu, Head of Logistics Policy at Coupang, said, "As the Rocket Delivery service area expands, jobs derived from Rocket Delivery are also increasing. We will strive to create more jobs without restrictions on gender, region, or age." He added, "We plan to continuously invest in logistics infrastructure and technology development to provide better services that will impress our customers."
