Wanted Lab Signs MOU with National Institute for International Education

Wanted Lab announced on the 8th that it signed a "Business Agreement to Promote Global Talent Recruitment" with the National Institute for International Education . The agreement's primary goal is to support international students' domestic employment through inter-institutional cooperation.

The National Institute for International Education (NIIED), a responsible organization under the Ministry of Education, operates various programs aimed at fostering global talent through international educational exchange. Key programs include the Global Korean Scholarship Program (GKS) for overseas talent, the recruitment of international students, and the administration of the Korean Language Proficiency Test (KOPT).

This agreement aims to provide practical employment information and support for job search activities to international students by linking Wanted Lab's AI-based matching recruitment service 'Wanted' with the National Institute for International Education's 'Study in Korea' system, thereby expanding domestic employment opportunities for international students.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲supporting international students by providing diverse employment information, ▲connecting employment information between Wanted and the Korea Study Abroad System, and ▲cooperating to support international students' job search efforts. Since November of last year, Wanted Lab has operated a dedicated recruitment center for international students in conjunction with the Korea Study Abroad System. This center features approximately 180 full-time digital job openings, recruiting international talent.

With this agreement, Wanted Lab plans to strengthen its global talent recruitment efforts, targeting not only international students, but also foreign residents and those interested in working in Korea. Furthermore, it plans to expand its foreign employment support activities, including operating the "Free Onboarding Series," a variety of employment support and educational programs, and promoting foreign recruitment in partnership with over 30,000 corporate clients.

Han Sang-shin, the director of the National Institute for International Education, said, “We expect that many international students will receive practical help in finding employment through our collaboration with Wanted Lab, which has strengths in AI and digital fields,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen our collaboration with private employment information platforms to support international students’ employment and settlement in Korea.”

Lee Bok-gi, CEO of Wanted Lab, said, “Wanted Lab is an AI-powered HR company with over 10 million matching data points,” and “Based on this, we will provide various programs to support the successful employment of international students.”
