The recruitment will be conducted as an on-site event to provide immediate feedback and smooth communication to applicants. It will take place over five days starting from the 12th at the first Five Guys store in Korea.

Applicants will apply through Hanwha Group's recruitment site 'Hanwha In' and then attend interviews at the Five Guys Gangnam store.

An FG Korea representative said, "Applicants can visit the store where they will work on the day, check the working environment, and have time to ask and receive answers to any questions they may have." The hiring results will be announced within a few days.

Five Guys rewards excellence and provides incentives to all store employees. At all stores worldwide, a portion of total sales is allocated to operate a secret shopper program (professionally trained mystery shoppers visit as customers and evaluate based on certain criteria), and incentives are given based on these results.

The secret shopper program manages the quality and service of Five Guys and is an important program that enhances employee motivation and teamwork. It will be implemented in the same way in Korea.

An FG Korea representative stated, "The applicants selected through this recruitment will take pride in being the opening members of Five Guys’ first store in Korea, introducing and growing the brand in the country first." They added, "Together with the newly hired employees, we will offer customers the finest luxury handmade burgers that replicate the authentic taste from the U.S."

Kim Dong-seon, Head of Strategy at Hanwha Galleria, who led the domestic introduction of Five Guys, is well known for bringing one of the most beloved hamburger brands in the U.S. Hanwha Galleria holds 100% of the shares of FG Korea Inc.
