[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (HCIC), which failed to fill its quota in the first round of recruitment, is set to recruit additional investigators.

On the 9th, HCIC announced plans to hire a total of 15 people, including 2 prosecutorial clerks (Grade 5), 7 prosecutorial officers (Grade 6), and 6 prosecutorial assistant officers (Grade 7), with applications open from the 26th to the 30th of this month.

Previously, HCIC held a public recruitment in February to hire 30 investigators, attracting 293 applicants in a highly successful turnout. However, only 18 were appointed as inaugural investigators. This means 12 fewer were hired than the quota.

Applicants for HCIC investigators must hold a lawyer’s license, have experience as investigative or investigative officers in public service, or have experience performing investigative duties as defined by HCIC regulations. The term of office is six years, renewable, with a mandatory retirement age of 60. Applicants are appointed by the HCIC chief after document screening and interviews.

According to HCIC on this day, appointments are expected to be made in November after the recruitment process is completed. In this regard, internal promotions are being considered for the currently vacant Grade 4 secretary (department head level) positions of Case Management Officer and Investigation Division Chief.

Director Kim Jinwook stated, "The 'HCIC ship' that has set sail is now navigating beyond rough waves toward the open ocean. Boarding the HCIC ship will be as proud and rewarding as choosing a life partner, and I am confident of this," urging talented individuals to actively participate.
