Gwangju Gyeongchong Expects Results from Discovering Excellent Companies in Buk-gu

The Gwangju Employers Federation announced on the 2nd that the ‘Buk-gu Good Job Matching’ project, which discovers and introduces excellent companies that are good places to work, is showing results beyond expectations.

This project includes ▲discovering good workplaces ▲producing and promoting videos of excellent companies ▲employment counseling and placement ▲job opening and job seeker company briefings ▲on-site tours for prospective hires as a package. Since last year, it has discovered 35 companies, produced videos for 25 excellent companies, and promoted them on SNS, receiving great responses from employees of participating companies and job seekers.

The Gwangju Employers Federation selected 10 companies, including Nanum Tech Co., Ltd. and NH Networks Co., Ltd., which excel in wages, welfare systems, and innovation capabilities in the first half of the year, supporting online and offline promotions, company recruitment briefings, and on-site tours. This introduced excellent job companies to job seekers and contributed to improving corporate images.

This year’s excellent job company videos feature company CEOs directly discussing welfare benefits, future visions, as well as providing glimpses of employees’ working environments and company atmospheres, which greatly helps job seekers.

The Employers Federation is making efforts not only in online promotion but also in matching job openings and seekers. Through the ‘Company GOGO Program,’ where hiring companies directly reach out to job seekers, recruitment briefings are held for youth job seekers from local specialized high schools, universities, and job support agencies, as well as vulnerable employment groups (such as women with career breaks and middle-aged individuals), receiving positive responses from participants.

Recently, job seekers participating in the Buk-gu Youth Challenge Project were referred to companies such as Aibirtual Co., Ltd. and BA Energy Co., Ltd., and employment support was provided to middle-aged unemployed individuals at companies like AM Special Equipment Co., Ltd. and Taebong Co., Ltd. Additionally, through company on-site tours, job seekers were able to directly check working conditions and welfare systems, and customized jobs were offered by conducting recruitment interviews on-site.

Yang Jin-seok, chairman of the Gwangju Employers Federation, said, “Although there are many excellent companies in our region’s national industrial complexes and agricultural industrial complexes, there is a mismatch between job openings and seekers due to the outdated image of the industrial complexes. We hope this project will improve the image of the industrial complexes and companies and help alleviate the manpower shortage in small and medium-sized enterprises.”
