Comprehensive Evaluation Including Operating Profit Margin and Total Asset Growth Rate
The job matching platform 'Cham Gwaenchanh-eun Jungso Enterprises,' which connects outstanding small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with young job seekers, is rebranding itself as 'Cham Gwaenchanh-eun Gangsso Enterprises' and making a fresh start.
On August 25, the Korea Federation of SMEs announced that, along with this name change, the platform's services have also been significantly improved.
First, the criteria for selecting outstanding SMEs have been greatly strengthened. Previously, six qualification standards such as credit rating, operating profit, and turnover rate were applied. Going forward, the evaluation will be based on a comprehensive assessment of corporate competitiveness using financial statements, including operating profit margin, total asset growth rate, and wage levels.
Incentives will also be provided to SMEs selected as 'Cham Gwaenchanh-eun Gangsso Enterprises.' These companies can post their job openings on dedicated recruitment sections of platforms such as JobKorea, Saramin, and Incruit, making their job information more accessible to job seekers. In addition, they will receive discounts on participation fees for training programs at the SME and Venture Business Training Institute to support employee skill development.
Lee Myungro, Director of the Human Resources Policy Division at the Korea Federation of SMEs, stated, "SMEs are struggling with chronic labor shortages, and the job mismatch situation is worsening, with the number of young people not working exceeding 500,000. With this service overhaul, we aim to help resolve the employment imbalance between SMEs and young people."
