Despite Developer Shortage, Coinone Sees 'Moonjeonseongsi'... 500 People Gathered in 3 Weeks

Active Hiring Moves Amid Workforce Reductions in the Virtual Asset Industry

[Asia Economy Reporter Myung-hwan Lee] Coinone, a virtual asset exchange, announced on the 19th that over 500 applicants have applied within three weeks since the opening of the '2022 Coinone Developer Intensive Recruitment.'

Coinone began intensive recruitment last month on the 23rd, seeking over 50 development talents across 16 fields. As of the 14th, three weeks after the recruitment started, a total of over 500 applicants had applied. Considering that most recruitment criteria require 3 to 5 years or more of experience and the current industry-wide shortage of developers, this is described as a high competition rate. The final number of applicants is expected to increase by the application deadline on the 24th.

Looking at the status by recruitment field, among all applicants, backend development (Kotlin) accounted for 16.98%, frontend development 16.35%, and iOS development 11.32%, showing high application rates. Following these were backend development (Node.js) at 9.4%, back office system development at 8.8%, and Android development at 7.54%.

Coinone has established a 'Developer Intensive Recruitment Page' and is providing various content such as interview videos with current developers. It was found that a total of about 30,000 people visited the page over three weeks.

A Coinone recruitment official said, "As the image of Coinone as a 'company that excels in development' strengthens, developers who want to grow to the next level seem to have growing expectations," adding, "We ask for the interest and applications of excellent talents."

This recruitment process proceeds through document screening, task evaluation, first practical interview, and second executive interview, leading to final acceptance. The first hires during the intensive recruitment period will be gifted the latest massage chair and an Apple M2 laptop. All developers who join by August will also receive one of these as a joining gift.
