The Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service announced that the '2025 Joint Financial Sector Recruitment Fair' will be held from August 20 to 21 at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul.
Marking its ninth year since its inception in 2017, this year's fair is the largest ever, with participation from 76 financial institutions-including banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and financial public enterprises-as well as 4 fintech and IT companies.
The fair features a variety of programs, including on-site interviews directly linked to actual recruitment, mock interviews and recruitment consultations, conferences sharing trends in the financial industry and organizational culture, and special lectures on written exams and interviews.
The on-site interviews will be conducted by 12 banks for young job seekers who have passed the preliminary document screening. Those selected as outstanding interviewees will be granted a one-time exemption from the document screening stage when applying to the respective bank in the future.
Eighteen financial public enterprises will offer mock interviews to provide interview experience and feedback, while HR managers from the remaining 50 participating institutions will provide one-on-one recruitment information to job seekers through consultations.
Cho Yongbyung, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Banks, stated in his opening remarks, "The financial sector is actively creating new jobs for young people by accelerating digital transformation and diversifying roles," encouraging young people to pursue careers in finance.
Yoon Hanhong, Chairman of the National Assembly’s Political Affairs Committee, urged, "The financial sector should make it a priority to expand job opportunities for young people and take the lead in addressing their employment concerns." Kwon Daeyoung, Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, remarked, "It is important for the financial industry not only to strengthen its intermediary function of supplying funds to productive sectors, but also to enhance its competitiveness as an industry and create high added value. In the process, quality jobs will also be created."
