The Ministry of Employment and Labor (Minister Lee Jeong-sik) and the Korea Employment Information Service (Director Na Young-don) announced that the total number of employed people in Korea increased by 36.3% year-on-year to 58,000 last year.

Artificial intelligence (AI) job matching service is based on artificial intelligence and big data analysis technology to recommend suitable jobs to job seekers for their job competencies and recommend suitable job seekers to companies for their job openings. Anyone can use the service if they register their resume on Worknet and apply for a job.

First of all, in order to improve the accuracy of AI recommendation information, jobs within 20km of the job seeker's commuting distance are recommended first. In addition, cooperation with related organizations was strengthened by delivering cooperation in order to use more AI matching services for job placement at employment centers and university job centers.

As a result, the total number of employed people using artificial intelligence (AI) job matching services last year was 57,844, an increase of 36.3% compared to the previous year. The number of companies using the service to propose employment to job seekers has also more than tripled.

Lim Young-mi, an Public Employment Service policy officer, said, "The Worknet Artificial Intelligence (AI) Job Matching Service is contributing to easing job mismatches between job seekers such as young, middle-aged, and elderly people by utilizing new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data." "The more accurate and specific information on resume and job posting, the more accurate and detailed the basic analysis of AI job matching services, the more accurate job recommendation information is, so we ask both job seekers and job seekers to fill out resumes and job postings carefully," he said.
