'2022 Korea Pharmaceutical Bio Job Fair' Opens Online-Only Recruitment Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] The Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Manufacturers Association announced on the 29th that it will operate an online-exclusive recruitment hall for four months starting next month in conjunction with the ‘2022 Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Job Fair’ to be held on October 11 at the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul, showcasing a significantly differentiated operation from the existing job fairs.

The 2022 Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Job Fair is jointly hosted by the Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Manufacturers Association, the Korea Health Industry Development Institute, and the Korea Human Resource Development Institute for Health and Welfare. The Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Association is in charge of organizing the event. The official slogan of this job fair is “Knock, Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma, Open My Tomorrow (Job).”

Since the association decided to hold a dedicated pharmaceutical and bio-pharma industry job fair again after three years, it has made changes to the operation method of the fair and the participation format of companies to maximize the hiring outcomes of excellent talents. The focus is on meeting the demands of both member companies seeking talent and job seekers looking for employment.

This fair will be operated as an online-offline hybrid, including a ‘pharmaceutical and bio-pharma exclusive online recruitment hall’ and an ‘on-site job fair.’ The plan is to operate it as a ‘recruitment information platform’ that not only provides a venue for recruitment but also connects job seeker information with company information. Accordingly, actual hiring will take place in the pharmaceutical and bio-pharma exclusive online recruitment hall, and on the day of the fair, October 11, information about participating companies, various pharmaceutical and bio-related educational institutions, and the current status of the industry including digital healthcare will be shared.

The ‘pharmaceutical and bio-pharma exclusive online recruitment hall’ to be installed on the job portal site JobKorea will operate from next month through December. It will not be a one-time event but a four-month-long platform that practically helps companies and job seekers with recruitment and job searching. It will also serve as an online promotional window containing each company’s talent profile, recruitment information, and introductions to participating companies.

Additionally, participating companies in the fair will be given the benefit of accessing talent registered on JobKorea. This creates an environment where companies can proactively propose job applications to talents they wish to work with.

Along with this, the association will produce a ‘Career Guidebook’ containing key information such as an overview of the pharmaceutical and bio-pharma industry, job introductions, tips for passing, and the talent profiles of companies participating in the job fair, and distribute it simultaneously to major universities nationwide. On the day of the fair, it will be provided in e-book format to job seekers visiting the site.

The organizers recently selected the job fair organizer and are discussing detailed matters such as the fair program and space layout. They are also receiving participation applications and second-half recruitment plans from about 250 member companies of the association. Considering the scale of the fair venue, it is expected that about 70 companies will be able to install on-site booths.

An association official said, “We are providing various benefits such as free booth installation and online recruitment hall residency for member companies participating in the fair, so many companies have already submitted their applications,” adding, “Applications will be accepted until the 1st of next month, but once a certain scale is reached, applications will be closed on a first-come, first-served basis.”

Applications can be submitted by filling out the application form posted on the ‘Notices’ board at the top right of the association’s website and submitting it to the association. Inquiries related to this job fair can be directed to the Management Planning Team of the Planning Headquarters at the association.
