Jiku Expands Senior and Local Employment: "86% of Jobs Created Outside Seoul"

Diverse Job Opportunities Tailored to Age and Skills

Jibike, which operates the shared mobility platform "Jiku," announced on the 24th that, as of the first half of this year, 86% of the jobs it created were outside of Seoul. The company explained that by establishing shared mobility service infrastructure across various regions nationwide, it is also creating local jobs for on-site operations management.

Jiku operates its services throughout all 17 metropolitan and provincial areas, expanding local employment mainly through more than 40 directly operated camps nationwide. To ensure stable service—including the deployment and collection of devices, maintenance, and resolving customer concerns—on-site operations are not outsourced, and the company continuously hires local personnel in the areas where its direct-operated camps are located.

Across camps nationwide, employees from diverse generations—ranging from the youngest born in 2006 to the oldest born in 1946, and spanning their 20s to 80s—work together. Senior camp members mainly focus on organizing tasks such as relocating improperly parked devices to correct positions, with roles tailored to age and on-site circumstances. In Seoul, the senior intern program "Jiku Silver Stars" has been running for six consecutive years to improve the pedestrian environment, and the company continues to expand its operation areas through cooperation with local governments and public institutions. In February last year, about 30 jobs were created in Pohang for organizing bikes and scooters that were improperly parked on walkways, and in 2023, about 50 similar jobs were generated in Gwangju Metropolitan City in partnership with the Honam Regional Office of the Korea Senior Human Resources Development Institute.

Jibike CEO Yoon Jongsoo stated, "Because shared mobility services operate in local streets and citizens' daily lives, the role of on-site personnel is more important than anything else," adding, "We will continue to strengthen the nationwide network of directly managed operations to ensure that quality jobs grow alongside the service and to expand inclusive employment opportunities that span both regions and generations."
