HF Recruits New Staff for 2021

- With applications open through May 18, HF sets aside over 27% of its new hires for local talents

- Special positions for those entitled to disability and patriot and veteran benefits as well as preferential treatment for the socially disadvantaged

Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF, CEO Choi Joon-Woo) announced on the 28th that it will hire 72 new entry-level staff members through competency-based blind recruitment.

The new recruits include ▲ 70 college graduates or those with similar qualifications and ▲ two high school graduates. HF will allocate ▲ 35% of the new positions to those from regions other than the Seoul metropolitan area and ▲ over 27% of the new positions to those from the Busan area. It will also hire five special positions for those with disabilities and seven for those entitled to patriot and veteran benefits. In addition, preferential treatment will be given to the socially disadvantaged, including those on the Basic Livelihood Security program or from single-parent or multicultural families, as part of HF’s efforts to promote equity and inclusion in its recruitment. 

This year, undergraduate-level applicants will go through two written job aptitude tests. The first written test consists of multiple-choice questions designed to measure their subject knowledge and level of economic and finance literacy, while the second includes long and short essay questions on related subject knowledge. The two tests will be held on the same day. 

Applications will be open on its recruitment webpage (https://hf.saramin.co.kr) through May 18, 2021, until 6pm, and the finalists selected through ▲ paper-based screening, ▲ a written test, and ▲ two rounds of interviews will begin working at HF in August. 

An HF official said, “As a public corporation honored with the Minister Award two years in a row for our outstanding blind recruiting practice, we will make all possible efforts to ensure greater transparency and accountability in our recruitment process. To help prevent any further spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of applicants during the recruitment process, we will strictly adhere to the government’s quarantine guidelines.” 

As the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic continues, HF will upload its recruitment video on its webpage (www.hf.go.kr) and YouTube channel (Korea Housing Finance Corporation) in early May instead of holding an offline hiring fair. The virtual, contact-free video will provide recruitment details and tips.
