Employment24 Marks Its First Anniversary with a Customized Overhaul

💡 Key Message: The Employment24 customized overhaul makes job services more accessible and user-friendly for both individuals and businesses.

Employment24, the integrated employment service platform launched by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Employment Information Service, has undergone a major customized revamp to mark its first anniversary. Based on data collected from 11.7 million individual users, 500,000 businesses, and over 1.05 million daily visitors, the platform has been redesigned to provide easier, faster, and more tailored employment services for citizens and companies alike.

📊 Employment24’s First-Year Achievements

Since its launch in September 2024, when nine major employment service networks including WorkNet, employment insurance, and HRD-NET were consolidated, Employment24 has grown rapidly. It now serves over 11.7 million individual users and 500,000 corporate users. With an average of 1.05 million daily visitors and more than 2.64 million app downloads, the platform has firmly established itself as Korea’s core digital employment hub.

🔍 The Core of the Customized Overhaul

The highlight of the Employment24 overhaul is the life-cycle based main interface. For individuals, services are now organized around the employment journey—job preparation → job search → training → employment/leave → retirement. For companies, services follow a clear sequence of recruitment preparation → training → employment subsidies → verification and reporting. This design ensures that both jobseekers and employers can find what they need quickly and intuitively.

In addition, 114 employment policy programs that were previously presented in long sentence form have been redesigned into icon-and-keyword formats, significantly improving readability and accessibility.

🎨 Major UI/UX Improvements

The new Employment24 customized interface emphasizes user experience. Harsh layouts have been replaced with clean, pastel-colored screens for a lighter and more modern feel. Even first-time visitors can navigate services with ease. Interactive functions such as hover enlargements and pop-up details have been added, enhancing engagement and usability.

⚡ Upcoming AI-Based Employment Services

Beyond the visual overhaul, the Ministry of Employment and Labor will introduce AI-based customized services starting in September 2025. For jobseekers, these will include intelligent career aptitude tests, data-driven employment probability analysis, and AI-driven training recommendations. For companies, data-based recruitment probability analytics, AI talent matching, and by 2026, an AI-powered job posting generator will be added. These features are expected to dramatically improve job matching efficiency.

Starting September 1 , Korea’s driver’s license verification service will be upgraded. Until now, online/offline checks only compared the printed data on a license (license number, name, date of birth, etc.) with the original issuance record and returned “match.” From September, the system will also confirm whether the renewal/aptitude-check period has expired . In short, if your renewal window has passed, your license may be rejected for identity verification even when the printed data still matches. Police clarified this is not a cancellation of the license itself—it’s a tighter validity gate for using a license as an ID. Expect effects across e-commerce real-name checks, telecom/finance remote onboarding, and building access registrations that rely on driver’s license verification .
