The Corruption Investigation Office Begins Additional Recruitment of 2 Chief Prosecutors and 8 Ordinary Prosecutors

[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency (HCIA) is launching an additional recruitment for investigative personnel, including 2 chief prosecutors and 8 ordinary prosecutors, to fill the shortfall from the first recruitment round.

On the 28th, the HCIA announced that it will conduct an open recruitment for prosecutors to perform duties related to the investigation and prosecution of crimes committed by high-ranking officials, following the first half of the year.

Applicants for chief prosecutor positions must have at least 12 years of lawyer qualification, while ordinary prosecutor applicants must have at least 7 years. Preference will be given to those with more than 3 years of actual investigative experience at investigative agencies (including military prosecution).

Unlike the first half of the year, the announcement period has been extended to 24 days and the application period to 7 days to encourage more people to apply. Additionally, the document submission method has been improved from a combined internet and postal submission to submitting all documents through the online application system.

In particular, the document screening process has changed from a passive screening where all who meet the qualifications pass, to a process where three times the number of planned recruits will be selected as successful candidates. Furthermore, the types of documents applicants must submit have increased slightly, including consent forms for information use, personal data provision, final school transcripts, and consent for reputation checks.

After the application period ends, document screening and interviews will be conducted. Following recommendations from the HCIA Personnel Committee, the President will make the final appointments. Kim Jinwook, head of the HCIA, stated, "We look forward to the active participation of wise talents who will carry the future of the HCIA and possess the spirit to overcome adversity."
