KB Kookmin Bank announced on September 1 that it will hire over 180 employees in the second half of 2026.
The bank aims to expand its recruitment of local talent and professionals in information and communication technology (ICT) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sectors to secure talent that can respond to the future financial environment.
Of the new hires, approximately 160 will be entry-level positions across six categories: UB, military officers (scheduled), certified public accountants, ICT, specialized high schools, and ESG-related growth. The UB category will include corporate finance and asset management, with a commitment to ensure that at least 25% of the total UB hires are local talent.
In the ICT sector, the bank will recruit personnel for IT and AI/platform development. Additionally, it will conduct ESG-focused hiring for individuals from underrepresented groups, including people with disabilities, basic livelihood recipients, children from multicultural families, and North Korean defectors. Separately, the bank plans to hire around 20 experienced professionals in specialized roles, such as AI lawyers, through ongoing recruitment efforts.
