[Asia Economy Reporter Song Hwajeong] The joint recruitment fair for the financial sector will be held face-to-face for the first time in three years this August.

On the 16th, the Financial Services Commission announced that the 2022 Joint Recruitment Fair for the Financial Sector will take place from August 24 to 25. Marking its 6th edition this year, the fair will be held in person for the first time in three years. In 2020 and 2021, the event was held online due to the impact of COVID-19.

The six major banks (IBK, NongHyup, Shinhan, Woori, Hana, and Kookmin) will accept applications for document screening through the fair’s website from July 4 to 25, and those who pass the document screening will be given the opportunity for on-site interviews during the fair (August 24?25). Outstanding candidates from the on-site interviews will receive benefits such as exemption from document screening in future recruitment processes.

Starting this year, a "Metaverse Interview Experience Center" will be operated, allowing candidates to experience financial sector interviews through virtual metaverse interviews and receive expert feedback. Additionally, 57 financial institutions will provide recruitment information and consultation on-site, and in collaboration with the Hong Kong Consulate General and others, recruitment counseling will be offered to young people hoping to work in overseas financial sectors as well as international students seeking employment in the domestic financial sector.

HR managers from 45 financial institutions will hold briefing sessions by industry sector to introduce recruitment procedures and desired talent profiles, which will be broadcast live on the Financial Services Commission’s YouTube channel.

Prior to the fair, 57 financial institutions will launch a website on the 17th to operate a continuous recruitment information platform for the financial sector. Through this platform, job seekers can participate in self-assessment programs for employment capabilities and access various financial sector employment information.

From this year, job seekers can check and diagnose their personal employment capabilities through the newly established "Self-Diagnosis Solution" within the platform. Based on the self-diagnosis results, they can also receive expert employment consulting on-site at the fair.

Employment and recruitment content for the entire financial sector, including the Financial Sector Employment White Paper, will be provided, and promotional pages for each participating institution will be operated. Notably, starting this year, reflecting young people’s suggestions, job descriptions for all participating institutions (57 in total) can be viewed in the Financial Sector Employment White Paper.

A Financial Services Commission official stated, "The financial institutions hosting the fair will strive to ensure the smooth operation of the event so that it can serve as an opportunity to revitalize the job market, which has faced difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic."
