The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) has recommended that other public-related organizations also recruit talent according to unified fair hiring standards.

The ACRC's Integrated Report Center for Hiring Corruption announced on the 24th that it recommended 398 other public-related organizations to establish fair hiring standards comparable to those of public institutions.

So far, the 398 other public-related organizations, which hire about 9,900 people annually, have conducted hiring procedures without separate standards. This has raised concerns that confusion may arise during the hiring process and that internal audit activities could be restricted, potentially leading to unfair hiring issues in the future.

In response, the ACRC compiled the hiring procedures implemented by most public institutions and existing recommendations to establish "Fair Hiring Standards for Other Public-Related Organizations."

The recommendations include prohibiting preferential hiring of employees' family members and forbidding the request for unnecessary personal information during application submission. It also includes using blind recruitment application forms and requiring the inclusion of external members when appointing screening committee members. Additionally, 37 items applicable to all stages before hiring were prepared, including remedies for victims of hiring corruption.

The ACRC plans to continue managing and supervising whether organizations have voluntarily adopted these standards and complied with the regulations.

An ACRC official stated, "A systemic foundation to strengthen hiring fairness has been established for other public-related organizations," adding, "The ACRC will continue to improve unfair hiring elements in the public sector to prevent hiring corruption that concerns young people."
