The recruitment announcement will be made through the Gyeongsangbuk-do official website and each institution’s website, and applications will be accepted online only for five days from March 18 to 22. Each applicant can apply to only one position at one institution.

The written exam will be conducted jointly by Gyeongbuk Province on May 4, and the results of the written exam will be announced on May 17. Successful candidates in the written exam will undergo document screening and interviews at each institution, with final successful candidates announced in June.

The exam subjects include one common subject, the NCS Basic Vocational Competency Assessment (50 questions), and two major subjects selected considering the characteristics of the recruitment field (such as Business Administration and Accounting, 40 questions). Qualification requirements such as English proficiency test scores vary by institution.

Notably, Gyeongbuk Province will select three times the number of candidates planned to be hired based on the written exam results and newly introduce a competency assessment to be used as reference material during face-to-face interviews, conducting more rigorous in-depth interviews. The plan is to select outstanding talents who possess both the capability and character to harmonize with organizational culture and actively carry out their duties.

There are 24 public institutions under Gyeongbuk Province following last year’s consolidation, located near the provincial government office in Andong and Yecheon, Gumi and Gyeongsan, Pohang, and other areas. They contribute to maximizing provincial government achievements through harmonious partnerships with Gyeongbuk Province in related fields. Employee retirement age, service, and welfare are managed according to each institution’s internal regulations.

Kim Hak-hong, Deputy Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, said, “We expect to conduct objective and transparent recruitment to fairly select outstanding talents and strengthen the expertise of public institutions, thereby injecting innovation and vitality.”
