Companies That Post the Same Job Openings All Year Long: Job Seekers Already Know

According to a Korea Employers Federation (KEF) survey, enterprises planning new hires increased to 66.6% this year, but the job market continues to reorganize around rolling and job-centric recruitment.

Negative evaluations of management and organizational culture accumulated on review platforms like Jobplanet act as exclusion factors starting from the application stage. Postings with unclear salaries, job roles, and employment types lose trust faster amid the gap between college graduates' expected salary (40.23 million won) and actual posted salaries (37.08 million won). Companies with poor websites and search information fail job seekers' self-verification processes, ultimately proving that transparency in recruitment branding dictates the competitiveness of securing talent.
