Hana Financial Group announced on the 10th that it successfully concluded its nationwide tour for 2025 with the 5th 'Hana JOB Matching Festa,' held on the 9th at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Jung-gu, Seoul, which was the final event among the five key cities visited this year.
The 'Hana JOB Matching Festa' is a mid-to-late career job fair tailored for experienced professionals, held as part of Hana Financial Group's flagship job creation program, 'Hana Power on Second Life.' The event provides high-quality recruitment information and re-employment opportunities for the middle-aged and senior workforce, while also giving local companies the chance to secure vetted talent.
Since 2024, the 'Hana JOB Matching Festa' has been held 15 times in major cities nationwide, achieving significant results such as participation from a total of 784 companies, provision of 1,013 job postings, and a cumulative attendance of 5,014 visitors, establishing itself as Korea's leading job platform for experienced professionals. This year, the event was held five times in major regions including Incheon, Gwangju, Daegu, Daejeon, and Seoul, attracting a total of 2,480 visitors and 281 participating local companies, receiving a strong response.
The Seoul fair, which marked the final stop of the 2025 nationwide tour, saw a record turnout with 760 job seekers in attendance. In addition, 59 companies based in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province participated, offering customized recruitment for various positions such as marketing, research, care teachers, and nursing care workers. Among the participating companies, 16 operated 'on-site interview booths,' providing job seekers with immediate employment opportunities.
The event featured a variety of programs to support mid-to-late career job seekers, including resume and interview coaching, employment consulting, personal color image making, and free ID photo shoots. There were also special lectures on topics such as 'AI, Startups, and Multi-Job Holders,' and a 'Digital Job Experience Zone' where participants could directly experience the latest hiring trends, including data labeling and one-person creator roles, which received high satisfaction from attendees.
In particular, at the 'Hana The Next Counseling Booth,' a senior-focused brand of Hana Financial Group, experts provided one-on-one consultations on retirement planning, asset management, inheritance and gifting, and life care, supporting middle-aged and senior participants in preparing for both stable re-employment and retirement. The 'Hana Bank Financial Counseling Booth' was also operated to provide tailored financial services for both job seekers and recruiting companies.
An official from Hana Financial Group's ESG Win-Win Finance Team stated, "Through the nationwide 'Hana JOB Matching Festa' held this year, we once again witnessed the passion of experienced professionals for re-employment and the needs of local companies to secure talent. Going forward, Hana Financial Group will continue to collaborate with local communities to ensure that experienced professionals can pursue new opportunities."
Meanwhile, Hana Financial Group is actively promoting ESG management by continuously implementing various job creation initiatives that span generations and social groups. These include 'Hana Social Venture University,' which discovers and nurtures young local entrepreneurs; 'Hana Power on Innovative Company Internship,' which expands job opportunities for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities and women with career breaks through internship matching with social innovation companies; and 'Hana ESG Double Impact Matching Fund,' which supports ESG startups with capabilities in job creation and solving social and environmental issues.
