KOTEC to Hire 117 New Employees... Largest Recruitment Ever
New Divisions Established for Science and Engineering Convergence and AI/Data
Competency-Based Talent Selection Through Blind Recruitment
The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (KOTEC) announced on June 12, 2026, that it will be recruiting new employees for 2026 to secure outstanding talent to implement its technology finance and innovation growth support policies.
This recruitment drive will hire a total of 117 people, marking the largest number since KOTEC’s establishment, following last year's record. KOTEC plans to focus on securing professionals who can respond to the spread of artificial intelligence (AI) and changes in the industrial environment.
The number of openings by recruitment area is as follows: 105 people for technology guarantee and technology evaluation, 7 for legal affairs and credit management, and 5 for IT. KOTEC will implement a fully blind recruitment process based on the National Competency Standards (NCS) to eliminate unreasonable discrimination and bias, and to select outstanding talent based on their abilities.
In particular, KOTEC will newly establish areas for science and engineering convergence talent and AI/data talent to support the era of AI transformation. In addition, the corporation plans to enhance its expertise as a comprehensive support organization for small and medium-sized venture companies by hiring specialized professionals, including those with doctorates in mechanical engineering, materials and metals, information and communications, textiles and chemicals, AI/data, business and economics (finance), as well as holders of professional qualifications such as Korean Certified Public Accountants, tax accountants, lawyers, and patent attorneys. Furthermore, the company will implement socially equitable recruitment by giving preference to people with disabilities and local talent from relocated regions, and by operating a separate recruitment track for veterans and other job support applicants.
