Kibo introduced a competency-based recruitment system based on the National Competency Standards (NCS) in 2015 and has strengthened blind recruitment since 2018. Recently, it has continuously worked to establish open recruitment by applying a 'Sympathetic Recruitment System.'

In particular, Kibo disclosed detailed information in recruitment announcements, including ▲job description materials for each recruitment position ▲schedule and selection ratios for each screening stage ▲criteria for handling ties ▲scoring criteria for qualifications ▲preferential treatment, and operated a permanent inspection team to prevent recruitment corruption at its root. Additionally, regarding socially equitable recruitment for vulnerable job groups, Kibo has taken the lead in fair recruitment by implementing ▲additional points ▲recruitment target systems ▲separate recruitment.

Kim Jong-ho, Chairman of Kibo, said, "Kibo continuously innovates its recruitment system to fairly select excellent talent based on job competency," and added, "We will continue to strive to establish ourselves as a trusted institution for fair recruitment by both job seekers and the public."
