Woori Bank Completes Special Hiring to Remedy Victims of Recruitment Corruption

Special Irregular Recruitment Completed as Part of Measures to Remedy Past Hiring Corruption Victims

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Woori Bank announced on the 29th that it has completed the special mid-year recruitment conducted as part of the relief measures for victims of past hiring irregularities.

In this special recruitment, preference was given to socially disadvantaged groups such as basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income classes, ▲employment support targets under the Act on the Honorable Treatment and Support of Persons of Distinguished Service to the State, and ▲persons with disabilities under the Act on the Promotion of Employment and Vocational Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons.

Woori Bank was questioned and requested to take measures regarding past hiring irregularities and relief plans for victims by Assemblyman Min Byung-duk and others during the National Assembly audit in October last year. After legal review, all employees who were hired through irregular means were dismissed. As a follow-up measure, a special recruitment of 20 people was conducted separately from the original recruitment plan.

A Woori Bank official stated, “We have completed the special mid-year recruitment as part of the relief measures for victims of hiring irregularities and the dismissal of employees involved in past hiring irregularities, thus concluding the follow-up actions related to the hiring irregularity case. We will continue to do our best to enhance the bank’s credibility and fulfill our social responsibilities.”
