Gyeonggi Province Pushes Ahead with Establishment of 'Smart Integrated Recruitment System for Fixed-Term Positions'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province is investing a total of 1.144 billion won jointly with the Gyeonggi Jobs Foundation as part of this year's administrative innovation initiative to establish a 'Smart Integrated Recruitment System for Fixed-Term Positions.'

Once the system is completed, it is expected that applicants will be able to apply easily online in a non-face-to-face and contactless manner without the difficulties of excessive document submissions and complex recruitment procedures.

According to Gyeonggi Province on the 17th, this 'Smart Integrated Recruitment System for Fixed-Term Positions' was introduced to enhance convenience for fixed-term workers by establishing a separate computer system and to improve the uniformity of recruitment procedures.

The province has thus far been recruiting fixed-term workers through recruitment notice boards on the homepages of Gyeonggi Province Government Office and its affiliated agencies.

The issue was that recruitment announcements, document pass notifications, and final pass announcements were mixed together in one notice board, and to confirm whether one passed or not, applicants had to search for related posts on each agency's homepage, which was inconvenient.

With this new system, without such inconvenience, when fixed-term job seekers access the system via PC or mobile, they can more easily check their application status and whether they passed through a 'My Page' feature.

In particular, applicants can write and submit their application forms directly within the system, eliminating the need to submit separate application documents via mail, email, or in-person visits to agencies.

Moreover, to streamline submitted documents, the system is equipped with a linkage function for 'Public My Data,' which collects personal information dispersed across different government agencies and makes it available as a service that users can utilize.

When applicants enter only basic personal information through the system, recruitment officers can directly verify matters such as whether applicants reside in Gyeonggi Province without the need for applicants to submit documents such as resident registration certificates to the relevant agencies.

Going forward, plans are in place to expand the range of public documents that can be confirmed through Public My Data, which means that the number of documents applicants need to submit is expected to decrease further.

Additionally, through Q&A; and FAQ functions, communication regarding recruitment between applicants and recruitment officers will be strengthened, and through the 'Notification Talk' feature, applicants will be able to learn whether they passed or failed through KakaoTalk or text messages.

The province plans to begin server establishment and test operations starting in June and commence full-scale system operations from August.

Kim Gyou-sik, Director of the Labor Bureau, said, "Through the Smart Integrated Recruitment System for Fixed-Term Positions, it is expected that convenience and accessibility for fixed-term workers seeking jobs will improve," adding, "We will continue to identify policies for the convenience of non-regular workers and do our best to realize 'a fair world where labor is respected.'"
