The Ministry of Employment and Labor announced that, in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, it will hold the '2023 Global Talent Fair' recruitment expo at COEX on the 21st and 22nd.

This recruitment expo integrates three existing fairs?the Global Job Fair, Foreign Investment Company Recruitment Fair, and Overseas Students Recruitment Fair?to provide young job seekers with good employment opportunities and overseas companies and foreign-invested enterprises with chances to hire excellent talent. With 382 companies participating, it is the largest single expo ever held. A total of 4,000 job seekers, including 2,000 domestic and 2,000 foreign candidates, are expected to attend.

At the expo, each company will operate recruitment booths where job seekers can consult with HR representatives and participate in interviews, supporting actual employment outcomes. Additionally, various employment support programs will be offered, including special lectures by employment consultants, success stories from current employees, and recruitment briefings conducted by corporate HR managers.

Young job seekers will be able to check recruitment information from overseas companies and foreign-invested enterprises, which are less well-known compared to domestic companies, all in one place by attending the expo.

Lee Chang-yang, Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy, said in his opening speech, "The recent record-high foreign investment in our country is due to global companies in semiconductors, bio, and secondary batteries recognizing Korea’s excellent human capital. The government will also create favorable conditions for investment so that global companies can create good jobs and hire outstanding talent."

Lee Jung-sik, Minister of Employment and Labor, stated, "With the recent recovery in overseas labor demand and diplomatic achievements with the U.S. and Japan, interest and importance in overseas employment are being reemphasized. We will strive for labor reform and improvement of the dual structure so that global young talents can grow and companies can increase investment. I hope that overseas companies and foreign-invested enterprises will make greater efforts to create youth jobs through this event."
