Korea Securities Depository Resumes 2021 New Employee Recruitment Schedule

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] Korea Securities Depository (KSD) announced on the 5th that it will resume the 2021 new employee open recruitment, which had been postponed due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and the escalation of social distancing measures, starting with the written exam on the 14th.

KSD explained that although the Level 4 social distancing in the metropolitan area has been extended and the risk of COVID-19 spread still exists, it decided to resume the recruitment schedule considering the situation of job seekers struggling in the frozen job market.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, KSD will ensure a distance of at least 1.5 meters between test takers, conduct temperature checks before entering the test site, and thoroughly disinfect the entire test venue before and after the exam, strictly adhering to the test management guidelines of the Central Disease Control Headquarters, so that candidates can focus on the exam with peace of mind.

KSD has informed individual candidates of the resumption of the recruitment schedule, including the written exam and detailed schedule, via SMS, email, and the recruitment website.
