Gyeonggi Province under Choo Mi-ae to Increase Grade 7 Local Civil Servant Recruitment by 2.5 Times
Gyeonggi Province will increase the number of Grade 7 local civil servants to be recruited this year by approximately 2.5 times, coinciding with the start of its 9th popularly elected administration.
On July 1, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government posted a revised notice on its official website regarding the "2026 2nd Open Competitive Recruitment Examination Plan for Gyeonggi Province Grade 7 Local Civil Servants," expanding the recruitment quota from the original 40 to 141.
This measure follows the labor-related campaign pledges of Gyeonggi Governor Choo Mi-ae, including the introduction of labor inspectors. Gyeonggi Province plans to be the first in the country to hire local labor inspectors, who will focus on monitoring blind spots in labor oversight and actively assist workers who have suffered from wage arrears or unfair treatment in seeking redress for their rights.
The breakdown of the planned recruitment by job series and category is as follows: ▲Administration (General Administration) 80 positions ▲Administration (Labor) 25 positions ▲Agriculture (Livestock) 1 position ▲Facilities (Civil Engineering) 20 positions ▲Facilities (Architecture) 15 positions, among others.
Applications must be submitted online through the Internet Application Center (local.gosi.go.kr) from July 20 to July 24. The written examination will be held on October 31, followed by interviews in December, with the final successful candidates to be announced on December 21.
Candidates are not permitted to apply for multiple local civil service recruitment exams scheduled on the same date.
