'Interview Material Leak' Hometown Junior's Unfair Hiring... Former Vice President of Korea Curling Federation Indicted Without Detention

Changes in Preferred Hiring Conditions and Interview Material Leakage

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The former vice president of the Korea Curling Federation, who is accused of irregularly hiring a hometown junior as a team leader-level executive, has been brought to trial.

On the 2nd, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office announced that on the 29th of last month, former Korea Curling Federation Vice President Mr. A was indicted without detention on charges of obstruction of business. Mr. A is accused of changing preferential conditions and leaking interview materials to ensure the hiring of his hometown junior during the recruitment of a career team leader at the Curling Federation's secretariat in 2019.

According to the prosecution, if the preferential conditions had not been changed, the hometown junior would have failed the document screening due to insufficient scores. It was considered that the hiring opportunities of other competitors were actually deprived. Accordingly, the prosecution also indicted the former vice president of the Curling Federation and the former secretariat team leader without detention as accomplices in obstruction of business.

They gave additional points for qualifications unrelated to the job, such as a real estate agent license and seven years of experience at a listed company, to make it advantageous for the hometown junior to be hired. They also arbitrarily excluded highly competitive high-scoring candidates from the interviewees, ignoring the scores based on the scoring criteria during the document screening process. Based on the pre-leaked interview evaluation materials, they conducted interview questions to receive favorable evaluations.
