Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME) said on the 30th that it is accepting rolling applications from hiring corporations and job seekers to join the "Corporate Workforce Difficulty Center employment support program."
Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME) supports tailored hiring and job placement between hiring corporations and job seekers through an online "job-matching platform" and a "matching support center" that handles professional counseling and operations for employment.
For hiring corporations, it provides services including: ▲ one-on-one recruiting consulting by a professional counselor ▲ assistance writing and posting job listings ▲ AI-based tailored talent recommendations and matching ▲ linking with support policies for small and midsize companies before and after job matching ▲ follow-up management based on employment retention surveys.
For job seekers, it supports services such as: ▲ one-on-one career and employment counseling by a professional counselor ▲ tailored corporation recommendations and connections ▲ coaching on writing a self-introduction letter ▲ using AI to write a self-introduction letter ▲ aptitude and NCS basic competency tests ▲ non-face-to-face AI mock interviews.
The job-seeker employment support service was upgraded with a focus on using AI to write self-introduction letters and conduct non-face-to-face AI mock interviews. Based on 100,000 successful applicants' self-introduction letters, it provides accepted examples by item and writing guides to help job seekers easily write their self-introduction letters.
AI evaluates the written self-introduction letter for content suitability and completeness. For insufficient content, it presents item-by-item edits and directions for improvement. An AI interviewer also conducts mock interviews in formats such as a one-minute self-introduction and conversational interviews.
Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME) put emphasis this year on easing hiring difficulties for small and midsize companies located outside the greater Seoul area. To that end, it plans to introduce on the job-matching platform a recommendation feature that uses AI to reflect both regional information and proximity of hiring corporations and job seekers.
Corporations and job seekers can use the services for free after signing up as members on the job-matching platform.
Cho Han-gyo, head of human resources growth at Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME), said, "We will help stabilize the labor market by easing labor shortages at small and midsize companies and boosting employment among job seekers."
