JobKorea Acquires JobPlanet, Expanding into Company Information Platforms

Combining Company Review and Reputation Data
Through a Business Transfer Acquisition

On December 17, JobKorea announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire the platform and related businesses of 'JobPlanet,' a career platform operated by Brain Commerce, through a business transfer.

This transaction is structured as a business transfer, not a share acquisition or merger, with JobKorea acquiring the JobPlanet platform along with its associated personnel and businesses separately. The contract was signed in December, and starting January 1, 2026, JobPlanet will become a subsidiary of JobKorea.

JobKorea established a separate subsidiary for this acquisition. The subsidiary plans to change its name to 'JobPlanet LLC' in the future. The acquisition price reflects both the growth potential of JobPlanet and the expected synergies from its integration with JobKorea.

For 29 years, JobKorea has operated a recruitment platform centered on AI-powered matching, leveraging its database of 30 million members and accumulated recruitment data. JobPlanet is a company review platform that provides information such as company reviews, salary data, and interview experiences, and currently has a large volume of company review data and 1.5 million monthly users.

Through this acquisition, JobKorea plans to combine recruitment posting data with company review data, thereby offering job seekers more comprehensive and reliable recruitment information and significantly enhancing the user experience across the entire process from job search and company exploration to application decisions. Going forward, JobKorea’s recruitment postings will be displayed on the JobPlanet platform, and JobPlanet’s company review content will also be gradually integrated into JobKorea’s services.

Yoon Hyunjun, CEO of JobKorea, stated, “The acquisition of JobPlanet is a strategic decision to more organically connect recruitment and company information, delivering real value to both job seekers and companies. As JobKorea celebrates its 30th anniversary next year, we will accelerate the advancement of our platform based on data and AI, taking another leap forward.”
