[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government and IBK Industrial Bank of Korea announced on the 15th that they will jointly host the '2022 Truly Good Job Fair' to support employment connections between excellent mid-sized and small businesses and job seekers, and to help young job seekers with their employment concerns. A total of 105 outstanding small and mid-sized companies, including KOSDAQ-listed companies, Seoul-type strong small businesses, and Samsung Group partners, will participate to recruit young talent.

The fair, held at the 1st Exhibition Hall of the Yangjae aT Center, will offer various programs for job seekers and employment preparers, including artificial intelligence (AI) competency tests, employment consulting, and employment success briefings.

So far, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and IBK Industrial Bank of Korea have been steadily cooperating to create jobs for youth. They regularly conduct job support (matching days) for graduates of the Youth Employment Academy, achieving meaningful results with 113 out of 165 trainees successfully employed.

A total of 105 companies will participate in recruitment at this fair. They plan to hire suitable talent for various positions such as developers in information and communication technology (IT) fields including artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud, as well as marketing, finance, and sales. Among them, 56 companies will conduct one-on-one on-site interviews and HR consultations.

Additionally, recruitment officers from companies such as NCSoft and E-Land Construction will directly share the latest hiring trends at the 'Recruitment Trend Conference.' There will also be 'Recruitment Briefings' conducted by HR personnel from IT companies and a 'Youth Employment Academy Briefing' by institutions nurturing talent for the 4th industrial revolution, providing practical employment information to job seekers through various side events.

At the 'Truly Good Job Fair,' a 'Policy Promotion Booth' will also be operated to introduce job support policy information at a glance. Job support policies from organizing and sponsoring institutions such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, Korea Industrial Human Resources Corporation, Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled, and the Republic of Korea Army and Navy can also be explored.

Furthermore, free services such as interview suit rental, makeup services, and resume photo shoots will be available on-site. Job seekers can receive one-on-one free employment and job consulting with professional consultants to set their job preparation direction or get help with resume writing. They can also analyze their strengths and weaknesses through AI competency tests and virtual reality (VR) mock interview experiences.

Meanwhile, to mark the hosting of the 'Truly Good Job Fair,' the Seoul Metropolitan Government and IBK plan to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to promise continuous cooperation for youth job creation and alleviating recruitment difficulties for small businesses. The city will establish a continuous cooperation system to match excellent talent with competitive companies, leading to practical employment.

Hwang Bo-yeon, Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Economic Policy Office, said, "Through this fair, we hope young job seekers not only obtain practical recruitment information but also gain opportunities to be employed in desired positions through interviews with excellent mid-sized and small companies." He added, "We have expanded cooperation with IBK Industrial Bank of Korea from matching days for Youth Employment Academy trainees to jointly hosting this fair. Through signing the MOU, we will build a more sustainable and systematic public-private cooperation model and resolve youth job mismatches."
