The Ministry of Employment and Labor noted that over 87,000 people found jobs through the 'artificial intelligence (AI) job matching' service in the first half of this year.
According to the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 23rd, the number of successful job placements through the AI digital employment service reached 87,212 in the first half of this year, representing an 84% increase compared to the same period last year (47,409 individuals).
The 'AI job matching' service analyzes job seekers' resumes, experience, and application forms to automatically recommend suitable job positions. It is provided through 'Job 24'.
The Ministry of Employment and Labor explained, "Job seekers employed in positions recommended by AI had a monthly average salary (actual income) that was 120,000 won higher than those who applied for jobs independently," adding that it was widely utilized in management, administrative, and financial roles, as well as in research and engineering technology fields.
A person surnamed Oh, who had her career interrupted due to marriage and child-rearing, also succeeded in finding a job through 'AI job matching'. She said, "I was exhausted from checking hundreds of postings on private job sites," and added, "The AI matching service unexpectedly recommended a safety consulting position for me, and I am now building my second career in a new field, leveraging my background in chemical engineering."
The Ministry of Employment and Labor is also operating a 'Job Care Service' that analyzes job seekers' resumes and self-introductions to provide career roadmaps, suitable job roles, and training recommendations. In the first half of this year, the number of Job Care report creations was 274,316, a 50% increase compared to the same period last year (181,934). It is said that primarily individuals under 20 utilized this service.
The Ministry of Employment and Labor plans to add four new AI-based services to 'Job 24' starting in September. These include ▲ an 'intelligent career psychological test' that recommends occupations based on individual interests and aptitudes, ▲ an 'employment probability model' that analyzes job seekers' chances of finding employment, ▲ 'AI job training recommendations' that suggest training courses necessary for skill development, and ▲ 'AI support for drafting job postings' that automatically generates job listings based on simple input conditions.
