The National Information Society Agency (NIA) announced its hiring plan for new employees and experiential youth interns in 2025.
NIA plans to recruit a total of 47 personnel through this public recruitment for regular employees, non-regular employees, maternity leave substitute contracts, and experiential youth interns.
For regular and non-regular positions, 18 individuals will be recruited in five areas: artificial intelligence policy, project planning and management, global cooperation, disability-restricted competition (general management and project planning and management), and video (sign language) relay.
To promote a work-life balance culture, a total of 13 substitute personnel for maternity leave in the project planning and management area will be selected, with recruitment divided into two groups for appointments in May and July. The Sign Language Interpretation Center, which supports communication for individuals with hearing impairments, will separately hire one overall manager (restricted competition).
Fifteen experiential youth interns will be hired to enhance the employment capabilities of young people and provide them with diverse job experience opportunities. This recruitment will be conducted based on thorough fairness and transparency. NIA will apply blind recruitment, excluding information unrelated to the job, such as gender, education, and age, and focus solely on evaluating the professional competencies required for the job. A particular emphasis will be placed on identifying talent that aligns with the organization's core mission of solving social problems using digital technology.
In addition, it will ensure a fair hiring environment where candidates are evaluated solely on their abilities by conducting strict validation of the entire hiring process through the 'Fair Recruitment Verification Committee.'
Starting from the 1st, NIA's recruitment website will be open for candidate applications, and the application submission period will run for eight days from 10 a.m. on the 8th to 6 p.m. on the 15th. Regular and non-regular positions will go through document screening, written tests, and first and second interviews, while maternity leave substitute contracts, the overall manager at the Sign Language Interpretation Center, and experiential youth interns will be appointed after document screening and interviews.
NIA Director Hwang Jong-seong noted, 'In the era of digital transformation, national competitiveness is synonymous with talent competitiveness. Through this recruitment, we aim to bring in talent and create a creative organizational culture where all employees can demonstrate their expertise, thereby accelerating artificial intelligence-based government innovation and Korea's digital future.'
