[Asia Economy Reporter Seo So-jung] The National Pension Service (Director Kim Yong-jin) announced on the 28th that it will publicly recruit 90 new employees in the second half of 2020.

In this recruitment, the plan is to expand hiring for socially vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, low-income families, and multicultural families. 38% of the total recruitment will be composed of socially equitable hiring (persons with disabilities, low-income families, multicultural families, employment support candidates, high school graduates), and a hiring quota system for low-income families and multicultural families will be implemented for the first time.

Additionally, to focus on ability-based recruitment, a new system will be introduced that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to verify self-introduction letters and cross-checks by auditors from other institutions.

To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), a '4-step exam quarantine measure' will be implemented for the recruitment exam, and examinees taking the written test and interviews will be strictly requested to comply with the quarantine measures.

Applications can be submitted online only through the National Pension Service website (www.nps.or.kr) from today until October 14th. After passing document screening, written tests, personality tests, interviews, and physical examinations, the final successful candidates will be appointed in December this year and January next year.

Kim Yong-jin, Director of the National Pension Service, stated, "By expanding socially equitable hiring for socially vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, we will realize the social value of public institutions and take the lead in establishing a fair and transparent recruitment system."
