The Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) will publicly recruit 235 new employees in the second half of this year. This recruitment aims to strengthen the workforce to implement government policies, including the development of new towns and the expansion of housing supply.


LH announced that the application period for the recruitment of new employees at levels 5 and 6 will begin on September 22.


The total number of hires will be 235, consisting of 211 level 5 employees and 24 level 6 employees. The positions will include 74 administrative roles and 161 technical roles.


The level 5 administrative positions will cover general administration, law, accounting, IT, and national heritage. Technical roles will be available in civil engineering, urban planning, landscaping, architecture, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Level 6 positions will include general administration and technical roles in civil engineering, architecture, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering.


There are no restrictions on education, age, or experience. However, candidates for some level 5 technical and administrative positions must hold relevant qualifications. Level 6 applicants must have graduated from high school or be expected to graduate.


To enhance fairness in the evaluation process and reduce the burden on job seekers, LH will conduct the document screening based solely on quantitative assessments such as language scores and certifications. Personal statements will only be required from candidates who pass the written exam and will be used as reference material during interviews.


Veterans and individuals with disabilities will be recruited separately according to legal employment quotas. This measure aims to enhance the effectiveness of socially equitable hiring and support stable employment for vulnerable groups.


The recruitment schedule includes application submissions from September 22 to 29, a written exam on October 25, and interviews in November. Final successful candidates will be selected in December and appointed as hiring interns by the end of the year.


To address applicants' inquiries, LH will hold an online information session via KakaoTalk open chat for two days starting September 22. A dedicated recruitment call center will also be available.


LH continues to hire new employees and youth interns to alleviate youth unemployment and enhance employment capabilities. Last year, it hired 472 level 5 and 6 new employees, 170 level 7 new employees, and 826 experiential youth interns. In the first half of this year, it also recruited 262 level 5 and 6 new employees, 187 level 7 new employees, and 820 youth interns.


The second half of the recruitment is particularly focused on strengthening the workforce needed for the expansion of public housing supply and the promotion of new town projects, resulting in a significant emphasis on technical positions.


LH President Lee Seong-hoon stated, “This is a critical time to concentrate all our efforts to faithfully implement the government's housing supply expansion policy and ensure housing stability for the public. We plan to hire talented professionals to invigorate the field and accelerate housing supply.”
