The number of people who found jobs in positions recommended by the AI job-matching service last year totaled 21,000. That means an average of 57 people a day were hired through AI-recommended jobs.
The Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) on the 20th held the "AI employment service open talk with youth" at Jeongdong 1928 Art Center and released the results of operating the AI employment service and plans for expansion this year.
According to the ministry, the number of uses of the AI-based career and work design service "Job Care" last year was 412,000, up 29% from the previous year. Nine out of 10 users were young people in their 30s or younger.
Services for corporations also delivered results. The AI job posting creation service, introduced in September last year, was used by 13,000 corporations over five months. Job ads using AI saw an average of 41% more applicants than regular postings.
As the use of AI employment services expands, the ministry plans to further strengthen functions. First, for job seekers, it will upgrade customized job support and career management functions. It will introduce a feature that presents the probability of employment by occupation for job seekers, and shorten the vocational psychology test from the current one hour to 10 to 20 minutes.
It will also sequentially introduce AI résumé and cover letter consulting and AI career design services by the end of this year. Through this, it plans to build an integrated service that supports career management across the entire life cycle, from youth to middle age.
Services for corporations will also be expanded. The AI talent recommendation service will be improved to provide reasons for recommendations and summary information from résumés and cover letters. In addition, "recruitment probability–based hiring consulting," which analyzes the likelihood of hiring within two months, will be introduced in the first half.
Along with this, it will establish an "AI hiring plaza" that provides hiring guides, interview and onboarding management, and applicant analysis, and prepare a one-stop, customized hiring support service for corporations.
Kim Young-hoon, Minister of the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL), said, "We will make the AI employment service not a technology that replaces people, but a smart career partner that helps with job seeking and hiring."
